VELVETY PEPPERMINT SIP
Thanksgiving is past – bring on the peppermint!
I love peppermint. I also hate coffee. Bulletproof-style coffee (basically metabolism-boosting, super creamy coffee that is full of healthy fats like coconut oil and butter) sounds great in theory, and I’m sure it smells good, but since I hate coffee, I’ve taken to experimenting with other flavors of Bulletproof-style drinks. You can see some links to my latest concoctions a little further down in the post. My most recent “Velvety” creation (I chose the prefix “Velvety” for my Bulletproof-style drinks to avoid copyright issues…and it’s an apt description!) was a delicious hot chocolate that was already receiving rave reviews the day I posted it. In keeping with the flavors of Christmas, here’s a hot peppermint drink to join it!
This hot drink is not meant to be an all-day sipper but rather paired with a meal or snack. Once in awhile you could actually use it on its own for breakfast or a snack (I’d add a little extra protein powder), but don’t forget your “real food”. 😉
By the way, if you need a Christmas gift idea for yourself, might I suggest a Vitamix blender? Our Ninja gave up the ghost a few months ago so we bought a refurbished Vitamix, and it’s working great! It’s so nice to have a fully-functioning blender again, and the Vitamix does blend smoother than the Ninja did even when it was new.
Just in case you’re wondering about the flecks of peppermint in my drink, I bought some xylitol-sweetened peppermints from this site, and I’ve been having fun using them in recipes! It’s so nice to know that they’re sweetened with an acceptable sweetener.
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES
*Use carton (not canned) coconut milk for a nut free version. (Most people with nut allergies can have coconut products, but check with your doctor first.)
Be careful when blending hot liquids as they may cause pressure to build up in your blender. Vent the blender as needed. An immersion blender can be a good option as well.
