Awesome ~ Coffee

Howdy Crafters - I am a Mocha Coffee drinker at Heart - I created my own recipe using Almond Milk, Hershey Cocoa, & Coffee. I cut the calories down significantly compared to any Coffee Shop recipe!* recipe below

Even if I add some real whipped cream [I only do that occasionally - the Holidays!]- my calorie count is much lower.  Since Stevia is my choice of "sweetener" - it is used to sweetened my coffee - I have a Mocha every day! 

I created a tag today using a new sentiment stamp I received from WSD - I just love this sentiment! Yep, My Mocha is making me awesome! LOL !

Have a Happy 4th of July - Let Freedom Ring!  Americans - DO NOT allow the government to take away your FREEDOMS! Remember what this day is about "We the People!"

My Homemade Mocha Recipe
I make my coffee in my Keurig machine

On the Stove - I make hot chocolate then add it to my coffee

1 Tablespoon of Hershey Cocoa, 1 Cup of unsweetened SILK brand Vanilla Almond Milk [30 calories] - heat to desired temperature - stir

Add Hot Chocolate to one cup of coffee from Keurig Machine

Add Stevia to taste [or one package of Stevia - but that might be too sweet - you have to determine how sweet you want your Mocha - for Stevia packages I use half of the package]

This recipe Makes 2 cups [8 ounces each] of Delicious Mocha - total of 40 calories for both cups!

  4. This tag could not keep me from smiling! How clever of you to incorporate the corrugated cardboard, which reminded me of a coffee mug wrap. I also thought it was very considerate of you to incorporate a recipe for folks like me who got an F- in Home Ec. Thanks for the beautiful artful, the great recipe and for sharing your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
