Vegan Peppermint Mocha

Let’s cozy up by the fire tonight, wrapped in a warm blanket while sipping on a hot drink! Is there anything better on a cold winter’s night?

This drink is inspired by one of the holiday favorites at Starbucks, the peppermint mocha latte. However, in this vegan recipe, we have eliminated all the added sugar and dairy. This delicious mocha has less than half the calories than the sugary Starbucks latte.
