The Healthiest Peppermint Mocha

This has to be the healthiest peppermint mocha you'll ever find. Not only is it sweetened with dates only, but this drink is also blended with cashews for a frothy milk-free finish. The cashews make it perfectly creamy without the milk, plus they add a good dose of healthy fats.Add some unsweetened cocoa powder and a drop of peppermint extract and you've got yourself a delicious healthy holiday dink.

Notes

This recipe makes 2 cups (1-2 servings).
If your blender is on the weaker side, try straining it using a nut milk bag. If using a strong blender, such as Vitamix or Blendtec, you shouldn't have any pieces of cashews left.
Adjust the cocoa powder, dates and peppermint extract to taste.
