This Dairy Free Peppermint Mocha is super easy to whip up in five minutes and can be made two ways using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Starbucks who?
Dairy Free Peppermint Mocha
Make it Your Own
As always, you can change up the recipe to meet your needs. I always love to add in any of my favorite super food powders or sneak in protein whenever I can. For this recipe, I have two versions so that you can make it to meet your needs. One version uses cocoa powder and maple syrup and the other usea my favorite collagen brand’s chocolate flavor.
I like to incorporate Further Food collagen into my daily routine, and their chocolate (and vanilla, might I add) flavor is the perfect healthy and zero sugar way to give my chocolate drinks a little extra nutritional boost. You can grab some for yourself by clicking here, and save a little cash with my code “KK&F”!
Speaking of Further Food collagen, check out my Dairy & Sugar Free Vanilla Latte recipe (click here!) for another way to incorporate collagen into your daily routine.
Thirsty for more?
There are plenty more dairy free recipes for you to try right here on the blog! Keep it festive with either this Gingerbread Latte or Eggnog Latte (or just go straight for the eggnog), which as always, are both made with natural ingredients.
If you like this recipe, you’ll love my Dairy Free Hot Chocolate! You can even add a drop or two of peppermint extract (not essential oil) to make it a peppermint hot chocolate. Grab the recipe here!
