Warm up this winter with my easy sugar-free Keto Peppermint Mocha recipe. It’s one of my favorite copycat Starbucks drinks that takes just a few minutes and uses five ingredients. Top it with keto whipped cream & enjoy!

Why Make This
By using a no sugar added baking chip and unsweetened nut milk, this drink is the ultimate win-win. It gives all the same flavors while being able to cut calories and sugar.
Besides that, this recipe is super easy. No need for double boilers or fancy equipment. If you have a blender, you’re good to go.
What Goes in This
- Sugar-free Chocolate Chips: I’m using ChocZero Baking Chips because they taste great and have 1g net carb per serving. I’m using the Milk Chocolate, but you could also use their Dark or White Chocolate Chips to make this drink.
- Peppermint Extract: You can pick this up in the baking aisle. A little goes a long way. Feel free to add more for added minty flavor.
- Instant Coffee: This provides a rich espresso flavor and blends well in any liquid.
