Peppermint Chocolate Holiday Drinks
Peppermint Chocolate Holiday Drinks
It’s not only about the food - what you drink this holiday season also matters! Cut the syrups and sugars - make your own drinks for a healthy energy boost.
To make choco-mint bevy variations, we like to keep a few ingredients on hand: organic canned, full fat coconut milk, raw cacao powder, and fresh peppermint or peppermint extract. We’ve shared three of our favorite mixtures below.
