Easy 2-Ingredient Iced Mocha (Dairy Free)

July 28, 2015 by Hillary 10 Comments

True story: mochas were the gateway to my coffee addiction. In my early teen days, a mocha mid-afternoon with a chewy cookie (hello sugar overload!) was not uncommon. Eventually, mochas turned into lattes, and later lattes into coffee with a splash of milk, and now I can just drink the stuff black — cold brewed.

While I can’t remember the last time I ordered a mocha from my local barista, the flavor melody of chocolate and coffee will never go out of style. Let’s just put it out there: coffee ice cream with chocolate chunks, my favorite. Dark chocolate with crunchy coffee bean pieces, give me a piece please.

That said, now that the temperatures are hitting triple digits again this week, a hot, rich, dairy-ladden mocha is not in my immediate future. Cool coffee + chilly chocolate “ice cubes”, now that’s how you can satisfy a mocha craving mid-summer.

To make an easy as breeze, two-ingredient iced mocha: 1) freeze Chocolate Almond Breeze in an ice tray; 2) fill a glass 3/4 full with frozen chocolate ice cubes; 3) pour refrigerated coffee (the darker the better, in my opinion) over ice & enjoy!

Cheers to summer and chilled, caffeinated, chocolate-y cups of coffee.

    Frozen chocolate ice cubes?! Ummm YES PLEASE. They are so cute and look so yummy. Also, are they in the shape of coffee beans? That’s amazing.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
