Keto Spiced Hot Mocha

Keto Spiced Hot Mocha

This keto-friendly mocha is so easy and delicious. The spices add an extra Mexican kick that will keep you warm on rainy days. If you want to keep it simple, skip the spices and use coffee, coconut milk, cacao powder and a few drops of stevia. To transform it into a complete breakfast meal, add some MCT oil and collagen.
