I’m a huge chocolate lover… I mean its just so good. I knew this mocha iced latte recipe would be good but it completely blew away my expectations. All the iced mocha’s I used to drink were completely filled with sugar and tons of stuff that I do not want to put into my body.

mocha iced latte ingredients
What makes this rich, chocolaty latte so healthy is that it is refined sugar free and the chocolate sauce is made with four super healthy simple ingredients. Did you know that cacao powder has 40x the antioxidants of blueberries? crazy right?? Cacao powder is a great source of iron, magnesium, calcium, and its a natural mood elevator! The chocolate sauce also makes enough for about 4 lattes so if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge and use it another day!
