Chocolate Coffee Drink! (No sugar, caffeine, low fat -- has protein!)

I just love those Starbucks mixed coffee drinks, but they're full of sugar, fat and additives like flavorings. But I wanted a healthy version. This is really tasty, and all of the ingredients are healthy things you should be eating anyway! :)

Make this:

*Decaf coffee
*Almond milk (I used homemade)
*Cocoa (I like a lot, so 2 tablespoons)
*Protein powder (yes, the regular kind is full of sugar/flavorings, so I used organic grass-fed whey protein without any sugar or other additives)
*Water
*Stevia

Just throw together in a blender or Magic Bullet, and it's chocolately, sweet, and delicious! 

I avoid caffeine because I've noticed I have more energy without it, and it's better for your nervous system. If you have anxiety, it might be from coffee or other kinds of caffeine, which give you highs and lows during the day, and can make you feel anxious.

Cocoa is super healthy for you. 

And this has both almond milk and protein powder, so you're getting a ton of protein, which you'll need if you're working out (and following a very healthy diet, without a lot of cheeseburgers). 

Enjoy your chocolate coffee drink, with no guilt! :)
