Servings: 1 Serving
Calories: 226kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons collagen peptides powder
- 1/32 teaspoon stevia powder
- 2 ounces espresso
- 1 tablespoon ghee use more if you wish - substitute coconut oil if desired
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
- 8 ounces unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Instructions
- Add the cocoa powder, collagen powder, stevia, and salt to a 16 ounce mug.
- Pour in the espresso and vanilla extract, stir to combine.
- Add half of the steamed milk and the ghee to the mug. Stir until all of the powder is dissolved.
- Add the remaining milk and foam, stir to combine and serve.
Notes
- I used Unsweetened Cocoa Powder because it has less carbs than Cacao Powder. It also has a deeper, richer taste...at least to me.
- Adding Stevia Powder adds a layer of sweetness without adding any carbs.
- To make your mocha even sweeter, add 1 tablespoon of Swerve sweetener.
- I used Ghee because I am severely allergic to coconut! Feel free to substitute coconut oil or coconut cream if you prefer.
- Califia Farms Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk does not contain carageenan or guar gum. Feel free to substitute homemade almond milk.
- If you do not have an espresso machine at home, you can substitute double-strength brewed coffee.
- Most espresso machines sold for home use do not have enough power to steam milk. You can "froth" heated milk with a hand blender or pour your mocha into a high speed blender to mix it up.
