There is no better way to put all of my favorite things together in one glass than in this mocha frappe recipe! Cacao powder supplies a hefty source of magnesium, collagen provides anti-inflammatory protein, coconut milk supplies healthy fat, and coffee is, well, essential. Blend this up and you may find yourself dropping your daily Starbucks habit. Plus, enjoy getting a nutrient dense snack in a glass, as this covers all the bases – protein, carbohydrates and fat.
While I make mine version with homemade coconut milk, you could of course make it with your own milk of choice.
For the coffee component, I either use a fresh shot of espresso from my Bambino Espresso machine, or frozen coffee ice cubes from drip coffee.
