This summer I've noticed iced coffee products popping up in my local grocer's refrigerated section. I happened to come across a popular brand at Target and quickly put it back on the shelf after reading the ingredient label. With 23 g of sugar per serving, from sugar and corn syrup, I'll stick with making my dairy free, sugar free version.
I've enjoyed this healthy Dairy Free Mocha Coffee Cooler as a sweet treat after lunch. It definitely hits the spot. It also makes a fabulous breakfast-on-the-go with a scoop of protein powder and my favorite chocolate greens.
