DIY Starbucks Chile Mocha

Instead of the usual cappuccino that you buy from Starbucks, why don’t you try Chile Mocha? It also tastes great, but it contains more nutrients that are perfect for your health. If you are not the type who spends a lot of money on drinks, you can just buy the ingredients and prepare Chile Mocha at home.

How to make it: You will need organic cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, cinnamon, chili powder and a pinch of cayenne. These ingredients can be easily mixed. You may also add organic coffee if you want and 6 ounces of non-dairy milk. However, the cocoa with a little bit of spice alone is more than enough for you to enjoy this drink.

It is rich, creamy and a bit spicy. There’s this little kick on this drink that will make you fall in love with it.

DIY Starbucks Green Tea Latte

Another great option at Starbucks is the Green Tea Latte. It has also become more popular as people become aware of the benefits they get from drinking green tea.

How to make it: To prepare this drink at home, you simply need to buy 1-2 packages of organic matcha green tea powder. As long as it is quality matcha, it is good enough. You have to add 1 teaspoon of hot water on the matcha just to let it melt. This prevents having lumps on the drink.

The result is a perfect smooth blend. In a separate saucepan, add non-dairy milk and sweetener of choice. Heat the milk up until the bubbles begins to appear. Don’t bring it to a complete boil. Turn it off and mix it with your green tea blend. Not only is this drink healthy, it also has an amazing taste.

DIY Jamba Juice Great Greens

This is why you need to add slices of bananas, peaches and ¼ cup of organic apple juice and organic strawberry juice. These mixed fruits create a balance that makes the drink taste better. Place all of them in the blender until a smooth consistency is reached.
