When I came across this recipe, it was love at first sight!!!! Walk into any coffee house and you will see on the menu this season Salted Caramel Mocha Frappes, hot chocolates, etc. Salted Caramel seems to be THE flavor these days. And yeah, it’s good!!! But these highly sweetened specialty coffee house drinks are nothing more than a lot of caffeine and empty calories. Here is a much better alternative AND I think tastes even BETTER!!! Now, I LOVE me some Starbucks, but when I first tried this version of Shakeology, like I said, I was in LOVE!
Salted Caramel Mocha Shakeology
1 scoop (or single serve packet) Chocolate Shakeology
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1/2 cup milk or Almond milk
1 tsp caramel extract (as this IS difficult to find, I have used the Starbucks or Torani caramel syrup BUT keep in mind that these will add sugar and calories, though if used sparingly, still not too bad of a treat!)
Dash sea salt
Ice (I like LOTS of ice!)
Combine in the blender and enjoy! My kids have been fighting me for this one! I’ve been making them a version without the coffee, just milk and water. They still love it!
Enjoy the season!
Ohhhhh I love this idea! And for those of us NOT using shakeology we could probably supplement with hot cocoa mix 🙂
