With powerful antioxidants from cacao powder and coffee, you can help build your body’s immunity while fighting free radicals, to optimize health. Rather than using sugary syrups to sweeten the coffee, I used a scoop of 310 Organic Peppermint Swirl for a hint of invigorating mint while incorporating plant-based proteins to promote satiety. As you can see, this is unlike any other mocha at your usual coffee shop!

What You Need to Make this Hot Shake
Let’s go over the ingredients that are in this recipe. I use 310 Organic Peppermint Swirl, coffee, unsweetened almond milk, cacao powder, and peppermint extract. Like with all of our other coffee-based recipes, you can always use espresso in place of coffee and add more almond milk instead.

If you’re a fan of 310 Organic Vanilla, you’re going to adore the new 310 Organic Peppermint Swirl! It has the creamy vanilla base that you know and love, with a touch of peppermint that’s not too overpowering, so you can use it in a variety of ways. You can always add a drop or two of peppermint extract, like I do in this recipe, for extra minty-ness!
Flavored/sweetened with plant-based ingredients including Stevia, you can skip all the unnecessary sugars and additives that are typically in regular peppermint mocha drinks without sacrificing taste. 310 Organic Peppermint Swirl is also formulated with a coconut creamer to offer a velvety smooth consistency, with zero grittiness that blends beautifully into hot or cold drinks. If that isn't impressive enough, check out some additional qualities of this standout shake!

- 15g of plant-based proteins from pumpkin, brown rice, and pea
