Iced chocolate mochas can be delicious treats, but can often contain excess calories and fat. Instead, try mixing this healthy iced coffee recipe with protein powder for an energy boost as well as added protein and fiber! You’ll receive all three benefits in just one sip!
For lovers of mint and chocolate alike, here’s an iced coffee that packs both flavors into one drink! Start your day right or end it on an exciting note by sipping this refreshing beverage or even freezing into popsicles for an extra-refreshing treat!
