Healthy Coffee's Part 2!

Dark Chocolate Mocha
    makes 2 drinks

1 1/2c coconut milk or a combo of organic milk and cream
4-5 shots of espresso (approx 1/2c strong brewed coffee)
1/4c organic cocoa (regular works fine too)
4T maple syrup
pinch of stevia
dark chocolate shavings for topping

Warm the coconut milk up on your stove top,then mix in cocoa and stevia. Mix until combined well, it should look like chocolate milk- probably because it basically is :) Now to keep this drink a hot one add the espresso to the "chocolate milk", take off of heat and stir in maple syrup. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking.... more stevia? Sure. More maple syrup? Why not. More espresso? Absolutely! Then top with the dark chocolate shavings. Now to make this drink a cold one.... mix the coconut milk, cocoa and stevia on stove top until combined. Take off the heat and pour the espresso into the "chocolate milk" mixture. Next add the maple syrup. Now get a tall glass, I use a mason jar, and fill it with ice. Pour the coffee mixture over the top of the ice, top with homemade whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings. Nom Nom.


Coconut Honey Vanilla Latte
  makes 2 drinks

1 1/2c coconut milk or organic milk
4 tsp. raw honey
2 tsp. vanilla
4-5 shots of espresso or approx. 1/2c strong brewed coffee
pinch of stevia

Mix the hot espresso, honey and stevia together. Pour over large glass full of ice. Mix in the vanilla and milk. Swirl a little honey on top for added deliciousness. Enjoy!
