Description
When I first went low carb, I missed Starbuck’s Peppermint Mochas in the winter. I now make my own low carb version. Suitable for gluten-free, Atkins, keto, lchf, low carb, diabetic, low glycemic, dairy free option.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces, fluid Strong Coffee
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream (Or Non Dairy Substitute)
- 3 Tablespoons Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup (See Note)
- 2 drops Peppermint Extract (More If Desired)
- 1 drop Liquid Sucralose Or Sweetener Of Choice (or To Taste)
Preparation
Mix everything together in a large coffee mug. Adjust any of the ingredients to your own taste. Enjoy.
Note: Walden Farms makes a whole line of syrups, coffee flavors, spreads, jams, and sauces that are all zero calorie and zero carb, and are handy for adding flavor in a number of recipes. If you can’t find them in a local market, they may be ordered by single bottles/jars from Netrition.com.
Nutrition estimates are calculated per serving with My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. If you make any changes to the ingredients, your results may differ. The recipe is stored there and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. I do not include sugar alcohols or liquid sucralose in my nutrition counts, as they are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index.
