This has to be the healthiest peppermint mocha you'll ever find. Not only is it sweetened with dates only, but this drink is also blended with cashews for a frothy milk-free finish. The cashews make it perfectly creamy without the milk, plus they add a good dose of healthy fats. Add some unsweetened cocoa powder and a drop of peppermint extract and you've got yourself a delicious healthy holiday dink.
