How to Make an Iced Mocha at Home

Living in Southern California I drink iced coffee treats all year round. Definitely a budget saver to make them yourself...

Ellen

I love iced coffee (& I too live in Massachusettts). I can't wait to try this-the mason jars are a perfect way to chill & portion

I brew a cup of coffee, add some half & half and then a scoop of chocolate protein powder (I use Unjury because it's high quality and tastes good enough to make chocolate milk with). This is my breakfast every day, and then in the afternoon, I repeat, except I pour over ice! High protein, low sugar mocha!

Recently I've discovered Premiere Protein liquid...I've NEVER liked one of these liquid supplements before now...this one is great...mix with a bit of ice and a squirt or two of the concentrate coffee flavor (I've been using Mocha or Caramel Macchiato)...easy and delicious. 30 grams of protein helps me past the cravings and allows me to have something 'chocolate' without all the sugar. Only 1 gm sugar per serving. With or without the blender it's faboo!

I also make mocha ice cubes so my drink doesn't get watered down as it melts. I just take some of my and freeze it to have on hand.

Maureen

I drink iced coffee every day! I pour hot decaf over a large cup of ice (20 oz.)I add a tablespoon of sugar free flavored coffee creamer and it is only 15 calories!

Lisa

How do you make that coffee shake you mentioned?

DaVinci makes sugar free syrups of all kinds and have recipes on their site.They will ship their products and ours have arrived in just a few days.

We make our mocha lattes from sugar free caramel syrup, coffee and real 1/2 and 1/2 or cream. We have full fat products every day and have lost weight.

"Expect weight gain on a low fat, high refined grain diet. Saturated fats such as butter, lard, coconut oil have a strong influence on metabolism! These fats help to release insulin. Fat keeps you full longer. Fats are satisfying and satiating. When you avoid fat, you are hungry more frequently. Contrary to what you might think, humans are not designed to snack frequently. However, consuming a high fructose/refined grain and low-fat diet makes you more hungry so you tend to reach for more snacks. You consume more calories just to feel satisfied. Any meal or snack high in carbohydrates like fructose and refined grains generates a rapid rise in blood glucose and then insulin to compensate for the rise in blood sugar. The insulin released from eating too many carbohydrates promotes fat and makes it more difficult for your body to shed excess weight, and excess fat, particularly around your belly. - See more at: http://primalblissnutrition.com/2013/01/side-effects-from-e…

Sounds really, really yummy!!! Great idea to freeze mocha ice cubes Maureen!! I also

LOVE the word "veranda"!!! Makes a porch soon much more elegant!

JuneBug

Great idea but Hershey's chocolate syrup is nothing but high fructose corn syrup. DaVinci makes one with cane sugar. Best make your own syrup or try to mix cocoa powder into the hot coffee first.

I love the "grab and go" aspect of this recipe. And the almond milk tip. Thanks, Lisa. It's hot at my house, too!!!!

I drink protein shakes for breakfast a lot since my lap band surgery. I use k-cups for the coffee and add syrup along with the protein powder. What really makes this drink great is Skinny Mix Mocha. It is very low calories and use it also in brownies to give them a really rich taste (Ina is right!). Jordan's Skinny Mix has other flavors such as Mango, Tiramisu and flavors to make low-calorie alcoholic drinks. The mango is great in iced tea. They can be mailed ordered (they are made locally in Clearwater, FL, but I buy them mostly in Tuesday Morning stores. Ross and others have them as well. Thanks for the recipe; will try making your recipe as I have all the ingredients!!!! Thanks for your website. It is a "jewel!"

Use Walden Farms caramel or chocolate syrup. (ZERO calories)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I make a recipe similar to this every single day. We have a Starbucks for us I'm out, and I brew 8 ounces of Sumatra coffee. I warm 8 ounce of skim Fairlife milk. If you are familiar with Fair life, and you drink cows milk, I suggest heavily you check it out! I have he and some Splenda to taste, and one packet of Swiss Miss Lite and blend with an immersion blender. This is amazing and full of protein! As you can see, I have no plans about artificial sweetener. But the protein kick in this keeps me going hard and I will often have another one midmorning as a protein shake.

I'm in Massachusetts also! I drink iced coffee year round. I use Torani sugar free syrup as flavoring. I use Splenda, too, and sugar free powdered creamer. I freeze coffee in ice cube trays so my drink isn't diluted.

Lauren

I use half almond milk and 1/2 coconut cream (Aroy-D is my fav). Nestles syrup doesn't have HFCS but I usually use cocoa powder and carob powder. If you use a blender, pitted dates make a great sweetener. I use about three.

Mary

i've been using mason jars for years for just about everything. i make watermelon water and take it to work can't wait to try the iced mocha sounds real good

As a PS, I now use Intelligent Blends K-Cups for a cup of coffee and iced decaf drinks. (always decaf). They're Salted Caramel blend is incredible. They don't charge shipping, tastes like reg caffeine coffee & I can brew as much as I like on a 'limited budget (35-39 cents a cup)!' I still use the Mocha skinny mix, but the salted caramel (as well as their other blends) are strong enough to not need additional flavors!

By the way, Love your website!!!!!

Ocassionaly As Iced Coffee

(Coffee Dry Milk Powder Dextrose Sucralose).

Southeastern Massachusetts here. I drink iced coffee year ‘round. Rather than cubes, I double the coffee amount. I use Splenda and skim milk. Torani or other flavoring brands lets me change the flavor daily. Dollar Tree has bottles of sugar free flavorings for a buck. I use insulated cups to keep the drink ice cold for hours.

I also make hot chocolate or cocoa with creamer that’s mocha flavored. Unsweetened and I add Splenda, pop in fridge in the morning and add ice when cool. Sugar free cocoa works, too, and I use two servings so melting ice doesn’t affect it.

Lauren

I love the easy recipe, I'm a new iced coffee drinker I normally drank my coffee hot. I have fallen in love with the iced mocha, just have a quick question how do u get the mocha favor out of the milk and chocolate syrup? I know it's a dumb ? Just curious..

Heather

Heather: Coffee mixed with chocolate is considered "mocha".

IFortuna

Instead of chocolate syrup, use Mocha flavor Skinny Mix. No calories and great taste especially for protein shakes. Actually, I put in baked goods (brownies, etc.). They have all sorts of flavors including mixes for alcoholic drinks. Great product. Tuesday Morning & Home Goods carry them!

Carole Rosenthal

Awesome recipe! You can make it with your favorite flavor of coffee and your choice of milk! I never drink hot coffee, but I love a creamy iced coffee anytime. I’m thinking hazelnut coffee, skim milk and as much chocolate syrup I want!

Susan

Ditto on making coffee ice cubes and being a fan of DaVinci syrups (less expensive than Torani). I prefer unsweetened vanilla cashew milk, which is creamier, tastes better (to me), and is lower in points than unsweetened almond milk.🌻

I dont think mine wort out

m ★★★★

I am all into this!! Great for hot Tucson days!

STELLA BOWMAN ★★★★★

Hershey's now makes a better syrup called

"Simply 5"

sugar,invert syrup,water,cocoa,vanilla. Since these days I can't find Maxwell House iced coffee anymore I will be making my own...

To easily clean your blender, fill half full of hot water, add a drop or two of dish soap, blend briefly, dump & rinse. If you do it as soon as you use it, easiest method I know.
