How to Make a Copycat Peppermint Mocha – Paleo

Copycat Peppermint Mocha

It is no secret that I love coffee, and specifically special holiday drinks to match the season. One of the classics of the holiday that I love a ton is the Peppermint Mocha. However, the original drink is loaded with sugar – 54g in a Grande! Thankfully this Copycat Peppermint Mocha is a healthier and paleo alternative to the Starbucks version. You can now enjoy it during December or any month of the year – I won’t judge!

Reasons To Love This Recipe:

  • It’s made with 5 ingredients and ready in 10 minutes.
  • No espresso machine required.
  • A cozy paleo and vegan drink that everyone will love!

Alternative Sweeteners?

Yes! Feel free to use your favorite sweetener. Here are some options and amounts:

  • Stevia: 3-5 drops of this liquid stevia. Use this sweetener for a sugar free peppermint mocha.
  • Honey: 1-2 tablespoons. This will change the flavor, but does make this drink paleo.
  • Sugar: 1-2 tablespoons of coconut sugar. You will need to whisk this longer, making sure the sugar dissolves completely.

Can I Use Espresso?

Absolutely! You can use 2-4 shots of espresso, ½ cup strongly brewed coffee or 2-4 teaspoons instant coffee. Decaf too.

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

Darrell is highly knowledgeable and really gets to the root of the problem. Unlike a lot of doctors, Darrell doesn't just throw prescriptions at issues. He will test and test - digging for the cause and then working on fixing the issue. He and his staff are professional, courteous, and a joy to be around.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
