Coconut Almond Mocha

Coconut Almond Mocha-

 Coconut Almond Mocha is grain free, paleo and  has a low carb version.

Coconut Almond Mocha is a paleo cafe mocha with “almond joy” candy bar flavors. Grain free and includes a lower carb version.

It has become very chilly in the morning, and sometimes you want something warm and a little sweet to start your day. But you could use organic decaf if your making this in the evening for a night time treat.

I was going to make a frappuccino with this recipe, but decided, with the colder weather, that I really would prefer a hot beverage.

When it is hot again outside, I will blend this up with ice. For the low carb version , you can use the unsweetened chocolate almond milk and leave out the cocoa powder, or use regular unsweetened almond milk and add the cocoa powder.
