After seeing this Healthy Hot Cocoa recipe, I was inspired to concoct a Healthy Homemade Mocha recipe that was dairy-free. The end result was yummy. It’s not exactly the same as a traditional mocha, but it’s still good–and pretty good for you, too!
Healthy Dairy-Free Homemade Mocha
- 3 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup honey (if you want it to taste a little more authentic, I’d suggest using raw sugar)
- 1 cup coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Coconut whipped cream
- Chocolate chips for garnish, if desired
Whisk together milk, cocoa powder, sweetener, and coffee in a medium pot and heat on a stove until hot. Add in vanilla. Pour into mugs and top with Coconut Whipped Cream. Garnish with chocolate chips.

This sounds really good! I love the ingredients in it, too! Huge fan of almond milk and honey 😉 –and coffee, too. Oh, and the chocolate chips. :0)

This looks great – I make my own cheap version at home most of the time to. I just heat milk and add a spoon of instant coffee and a squirt of
Nesquik.
It turns out pretty good for a fake alternative.

I love your posts, Crystal! We have dairy, nut and egg allergies in our house and rice milk has saved my life. I love almond milk, but unfortunately, that darn nut allergy gets in the way! Rice milk tastes much like skim milk, so the family never notices it when I use it during cooking. I’m so grateful for all the options we have now-a-days! And I’ve really enjoyed your dairy free posts!

Sounds delicious! How many servings does this make?
