Usually I made my own at home, but often had one at a coffee house (starbucks, caribou, etc). And then I read the nutritional breakdown of a Venti Iced mocha from Starbucks. Calories 207 % DV** Total Fat 7.3g 11% Sat. Fat 3.3g 17% Trans Fat 0 g Cholesterol 17 mg 6% Sodium 67 mg 3% Total Carbs. 34g 11% ACK. And caribou was worse with a large iced mocha coming in at a whopping 450 calories, 76g carb and 10g fat. So I decided to make my own and skinny it down to suit my new WOE. Here it is. Ingredients: 2 oz brewed espresso 1 packet Stevia 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened baking cocoa powder 2 oz milk(I use half and half for the creamier taste) How To Prepare: pour hot espresso into glass and stir. Add cocoa and continue stirring. Add Stevia while stirring, to dissolve. Fill glass with ice. Pour milk/half and half/water into glass and stir until blended. It's probably not AS good as Caribou, et. al, but it quells my craving, and for a huge cut in calories and carbs, it's worth it Number of Servings: 1 Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 4 g carbs, 50 calories. Carb count could be lowered using low carb dairy beverage too Preparation Time: 5 minutes Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Source: My kitchen
