Wow. Can I tell you that after 12 days straight of DIY ornaments that I am just a {teensy} bit excited to be posting a recipe! I’ve been baking and concocting recipes like a crazy person lately in preparation for the holidays and have some great ones to share with you-the first is today’s Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte-a tasty winter treat that won’t leave you feeling guilty!
Just like my Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte I shared this fall, this recipe is light on calories and saves you a ton of money over buying expensive coffeeshop versions-and it’s even easier to make than the pumpkin latte!
Ingredients:
⅔ cup skim milk
1 cup strong brewed coffee, I used a Folgers Caramel Drizzle K-cup
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 packages Stevia
⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
fat free whipped cream, white chocolate chips, and candy cane for garnish if desired
Directions:
{Hang on, we’re getting complex here!} Add cocoa, Stevia, peppermint extract, and milk to coffee. Stir well. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate chips and crushed candy cane if desired.
Boom. Latte done! How easy, right?
