    Vegan Caffé Mocha

    Caffé Mocha - ilovevegan.com

    Every day is a good day for coffee, but weekends are an opportunity to take your morning cup a step further. Instead of stumbling to your coffee pot set to "auto brew" in a sleepy stupor, prepare yourself something decadent and relish the morning ahead.

    Since picking up a Bialetti Moka Express for the sweet price of $14, I've been hitting up the "espresso" drinks for an enhanced caffeine kick. The Moka pot doesn't technically make espresso, but as far as my unrefined coffee palate goes, it does. 

    It started with the Oatmeal Latté I developed for Nature's Path. Then I moved to regular lattés (my current obsession), and then over to the Caffé Mocha. Decadent, velvety hot chocolate + a hefty jolt of caffeine? Sign me up!

    If you're not a coffee fan, just exclude the espresso for a BOMB hot chocolate. A combo of unsweetened soy milk, plenty of dark chocolate, a Medjool date, a touch of pure vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt, all whirled together in a blender, make for a ridiculously creamy beverage. Stir in the espresso and you're on your way to having a damn good morning.

    Whether you go with the full mocha or just hot chocolate, this hot beverage is totally coffee shop worthy, but you don't need to pay extra for soy milk. Happy Sunday!

    It's day 6 of VeganMofo! The challenge is to talk about vegan food, as much as possible, for the entire month of November. I'm shooting for 5 days a week. For the rest of the month, the posting schedule will (hopefully!) be Sunday-Thursday. JSYK: I'm not really following the 2016 Vegan Mofo Themes and Prompts, but I am using them as inspiration when needed!

      Oh I love the thought of using chopped dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder, must give that a try!
      Also, I love the mug in the photos. Where is it from?

        Thanks Alex! Sadly, I'm not sure about the mug 🙁 it was a wedding gift.

      I think you have just turned the science of creating a devine caffe mocha into an art-form, Brittany.
      This beverage will certainly prime me up for my morning run ---might even be a bit faster than usual:)
