My Special Non-dairy Mocha Recipe

Due to popular demand from clients and friends — and because I teased you in this this earlier post, here’s my favorite recipe for non-dairy mocha. I make this stuff a pitcher at a time and store in the ‘fridge in this easy-to-clean wide-mouth Nalgene water bottle.

It’ll keep for up to 2 weeks, allowing you to have a rich, creamy, chocolaty, coffee treat — without dairy — any time you like (and, with your own chosen level of caffeine.) It gets creamier and tastier as the week goes by.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw organic cashews, soak in water for 24–72 hours in the refrigerator.
• 6 tbsp organic cacao powder
• 6 capfuls (from the bottle) of organic vanilla
• 6 tsp of instant coffee. (I use half Folger’s decaf and half instant espresso)
• 4 cups of filtered water

Put it all in a Blendtech or comparable device. I use this one. Process on “whole juice”, and you’ll get ~ 5.5 cups of dark, rich, non-dairy mocha.

After it sits in the fridge, shake well before pouring and stir often while drinking. I like this as much as any commercial version, and it’s way less sugar & fat, plus nutritious. Part of my breakfast most mornings.

I hope you like the above. If you have a similar recipe you like and want to share, please do that below. If you have any questions or other comments, please leave them and I’ll make sure to respond.
