Peppermint mocha recipe & content provided by Jordan Pie
Peppermint mochas… this time of year you can find them everywhere from McDonald’s to Starbucks. However, they’re not exactly the healthiest way to start your day. More often than not, they are filled with refined sugar and processed ingredients instead of the protein and healthy fats you need to keep you going all morning.

Unlike the sugary and dairy-filled peppermint mochas you can get from a drive-through, this warming recipe delivers all the chocolatey, caffeinated, minty goodness using nourishing and natural ingredients. This mocha incorporates healthy fats from Brain Octane Oil and coconut milk, plus a whopping 18 grams of protein from collagen peptides — no sugar crash here.
You can also serve this peppermint mocha cold: Just blend all the ingredients together in your blender, then add ice and blitz again until the ice is melted or until it takes on the consistency of an iced coffee. You might need a little extra coffee or cacao to carry the flavor farther after adding ice.
Serve your peppermint mocha with keto holiday treats like sugar cookies or white chocolate cranberry cookies for a totally decadent treat you won’t believe is low-carb!
