My Recipe for Starbucks Skinny Peppermint Mocha

It’s a hot, minty, chocolate, coffee treat…Starbucks makes their dreamy, skinny holiday drink with espresso, steamed nonfat milk, sugar-free mocha sauce and sugar-free peppermint syrup. My home version is simple to make since I’m using strong brewed coffee, unsweetened cocoa, Splenda and peppermint extract. Each (12oz) drink has 90 calories, 1 gram of fat and 2 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.

  1. Brew coffee stronger than usual. In a small pot, add milk, cocoa, Splenda and peppermint extract. Over medium high heat, mix until cocoa is dissolved and mixture is hot.
  2. Transfer to a blender and process for about 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry. Just whisk the mixture in the pot continuously with a wire whisk until foamy. Pour brewed coffee into a large cup and pour hot milk mixture over coffee. Stir to blend.
  3. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
