Inside our Cacao Beauty Blend
The mocha flavor in this Iced Mocha Latte comes from our Cacao Beauty Blend which is made with organic cacao powder and the best in-class plant botanicals. These plant-based wonders help your body produce more of its own collagen, enhancing your skin's elasticity, vibrance, and overall health! Each ingredient is handpicked for its potency and effectiveness, and they’re 100% plant-based and herbalist-approved. Here are a few of our favorite plant-based ingredient found inside our blends:
Organic Tremella Mushroom Extract: Tremella contains polysaccharides, which are carbohydrate chains. Polysaccharides have been shown to promote skin collagen synthesis, which in turn can help boost skin elasticity and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Tremella mushroom also contains amino acids, which are crucial for the production of collagen.
Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to attract and lock in moisture in the tissues & it can hold an incredible 1,000 times its weight in water! It has also shown to fight skin aging, helping to minimize fine lines and wrinkles while boosting elasticity.
Gotu Kola: Gotu kola is great for calming inflammation, encouraging the production of collagen, acting as an antioxidant, and improving skin hydration
How To Make A Skin-Glow Iced Mocha Latte
This latte is actually pretty simple, and only takes 4 ingredients! Recipes like this are always our favorite to share because they’re easy to make, and most people have each ingredient already available to them in their fridge or pantry.
Plant-Based Milk: The base of this latte is made with vegan milk! There are plenty of dairy-free alternatives like almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, and more. For this recipe, we used almond milk, but feel free to choose whichever milk you vibe with the most!
Espresso: What would a latte be without a shot of espresso?? Again, there are soooo many different espresso pods you can get out there, but since this is a chocolate themed latte, we decided to go all in and use a chocolate flavored espresso pod.
Cacao Beauty Blend: As we mentioned earlier, the chocolatey goodness in our Iced Mocha Latte comes from our Cacao Beauty Blend, so make sure you have this specific ingredient ready to go as its also the secret to turning your latte into a skin-loving treat 😉Our blend works great in lattes like this because it will dissolve perfectly into your espresso shot with the help of our Whisk.
Chocolate sauce: For an even more prominent chocolate flavor, you can also add in some chocolate sauce to layer along the outside of your glass and as a saucy garnish on top. This step is completely optional, but we know some of our die-hard chocolate lovers out there will take full advantage of this ingredient!
Frothed Milk: If you really want to get fancy with your latte and go the extra mile, you can also steam and froth some milk to add onto your drink as well. It just adds an extra touch that makes the latte truly feel complete.
There you have it. An Iced Mocha Latte that supports your own collagen and will have your skin glowing from the inside out. If you liked this recipe, check some of our other drink creations below!
