Equipment

1 Shaker Bottle Or Blender

Ingredients

1 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar Substitute
2 teaspoon Finely Ground Instant Coffee
12 Oz Unsweetened Almond Milk or water Hot or Cold
⅛ - ¼ teaspoon Peppermint Extract If making for immediate use
1 teaspoon Crushed Sugar Free Peppermint Candy For making the mixes

Instructions

For Hot Protein Peppermint Mocha:

Combine dry ingredients in a shaker bottle or blender.
Add hot water or milk and peppermint extract; shake until well combined, smooth, and with no undissolved coffee granules left on the bottom of the bottle.
Pour into a large mug, enjoy right away!

For Protein Iced Peppermint Mocha:

Combine dry ingredients in a shaker bottle or blender.
Add cold water or milk and peppermint extract; shake until well combined, smooth, and with no undissolved coffee granules left on the bottom of the bottle.
Pour into a large glass filled with ice, enjoy right away!
Pro Tip: For easier dissolving, you can add a small amount of hot water or milk to the dry mix, shake until dissolved, then top up with cold liquid.
Another option is to make it with hot liquid, and chill it in the fridge for later use.

For Protein Powder Peppermint Mocha Mix Pouches:

Measure dry ingredients and crushed candy directly into individual snack-sized plastic baggies, seal and shake well to combine.
Press as much air as possible out of each baggie, seal the zipper.
Transfer baggies to an airtight container, labeled with the date, recipe name, and a note to use 12 oz of water or milk, if you like.

Notes

Using milk - whether dairy milk or a plant based milk - will result in a creamier drink than water. It also gives you more of the froth on top, especially when it comes to hot drinks.

Nutritional Info includes almond milk, values will be lower for water.

Actual nutritional content will depend on the protein powder you use. The recipe software is assuming 7 grams of carbs and 18 grams of protein.

Also, 3 grams of carbs come from sugar alcohols in the brown sugar sweetener.
