Every time Christmas rolls around, I start to have visions of a peppermint mocha. I unapologetically enjoy all things coffee<\/a>, but fancy coffee drinks can be a real budget breaker (not to mention full of sugar). Thankfully, there\u2019s an easy and delicious peppermint mocha recipe you can make at home with wholesome real food ingredients.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t even miss the $7 Starbucks peppermint mocha!<\/p>\n

A Healthy Peppermint Mocha Recipe<\/h2>\n

In college, I frequented coffee shops for my caffeine fix. Now that I\u2019m older, and hopefully a little wiser, I usually make my coffee at home with organic beans.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t miss mainstream coffee shops at all since I can even make fancy coffees like pumpkin spice or vanilla lattes at home. They taste just as good as the conventional version, or better in my book. I love that I can use real food ingredients that give my brain and body a boost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I often get asked, \u201chow do you get it all done with a blog and so many kids?\u201d The answer is I don\u2019t do it all myself, but also having a structured schedule<\/a> and eating enough healthy fats. This recipe is packed with brain-boosting fats and it keeps me energetic, but not jittery, all day.<\/p>\n

Peppermint Mocha Ingredients<\/h3>\n

Baristas at the popular coffee shop chain use espresso, peppermint syrup, and milk to make their famous peppermint mocha coffee. I feel like this homemade version is even better. It won\u2019t taste exactly the same as Starbucks or other coffee shops, but I like it more.<\/p>\n

You could add some dairy-free almond milk, oat milk, or grass-fed cow milk to the recipe if you prefer. However, I\u2019ve found that with the healthy fats it\u2019s ultra creamy and doesn\u2019t even need the added milk!<\/p>\n

How to Make a Homemade Peppermint Mocha<\/h2>\n

I almost always include a tablespoon of butter, coconut oil, and\/or MCT oil in my coffee. It\u2019s the perfect way to get healthy fats and extra benefits.<\/p>\n

I often use mushroom coffee<\/a> from Four Sigmatic for the extra superfood benefits as well. I promise it doesn\u2019t taste like mushrooms, just great coffee! They also have a delicious reishi mushroom hot chocolate that would also make a yummy addition to this recipe.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made variations of this recipe with coffee, decaf coffee, chai tea,<\/a> and herbal teas. They\u2019re all delicious! All you need is some brewed coffee, a few ingredients, and a blender to make your own peppermint mocha in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

A word of warning: <\/strong>If you aren\u2019t used to consuming coconut oil, start slowly. Coconut oil and MCT oil can cause short-term nausea if you aren\u2019t used to them. They both have immune boosting, metabolism boosting, and yeast-fighting properties. But if you jump in too fast your stomach might rebel!<\/p>\n
