Once October is over and the craze of PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!!!! dies down, you know what is next: CHOCOLATE MINT EVERYTHING!!!!
Hehheh….
I am proud to say that I can enable you all in that. I “forced” myself to be a test subject and try this out to make sure it was the good stuff. Just be forewarned that there is a fine line in using mint flavoring/extract. Go over it and it is like chugging mouth wash. And that isn’t what we are looking for in our morning go-go drink. Well, maybe you are…but I am not 😉 So watch your measuring of it….
Mint Mocha Frappes
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups unsweetened coconut milk

- 2 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
- ½ tsp pure mint extract

Add the ingredients to a high-speed blender (such as a Vitamix), process on high, tamping as needed until smooth. Serve immediately with wide straws.
Serves 2.

I am a bigger fan of chocolate mint than pumpkin anyway! And this is lactose free! Can’t wait to try it out.
Yummy! I love using coconut milk. I have 2 cartons in my fridge as we speak. Mint chocolate…yummy!
It is my favorite milk! What I like is how creamy it is but also unlike most non-dairy milks it is white.
I’m totally ready for chocolate mint everything!!! Bring it on!
I didn’t have any mint extract or regular coconut milk on hand so I used the So Delicious Chocolate Mint Coconut Milk and it tasted incredible !
Yay! I was thinking the same thing – but was waiting till I had time to drive to find some of it. I shouldn’t complain, at least my local Safeway carries the So Delicious Coconut Nog, but I want the other flavors too 😉
They’re coconut milks are really low calorie which I’m a fan of!
