This recipe for guilt free ice mocha is exactly the drink you should drink to start the day on your right foot, or to get a boost of energy in the afternoon. It's made from espresso, coconut milk, magical chia seeds, high-quality cocoa powder and sweet medjool dates – it’s not only crazy healthy, but it will also make you feel like you sinned with a super corrupt drink.

If you followed my stories on Instagram, or read the newletters that I sent over the last month {not signed up?! Click here to join! 🙂 }, you probably know that during June I did a 21-day detox.

As I promised, I'm just finishing a very detailed post about the process that explains:

>> What exactly is this detox and why did I do it? {and how I got Daniel in on it, too! 😉 }.

>> What are you allowed and what aren’t you allowed to eat and drink during the detox period.

>> And also tips to help you succeed the detox if you either want a healthy restart for your body, or just to lose some weight 🙂

The full post about the detox will be up in a few days, but until then I decided to share with you one of my favorite recipes from the process. In fact, there were a few good recipes on the menu that I plan to adopt to my daily diet, but this recipe for ice mocha is the best proof that healthy food can be as tasty and corrupt as the fatty, sugar-packed versions of the very same drink.

In order to prepare the ice mocha at home, or to prepare smoothies with lots of ice, I highly recommend getting a good blender like the one I recently bought from the company ‘Ninja’. Although it’s a bit more expensive than other blenders that can be found on the market, but it knows how to do the job properly so in my opinion it’s really worth the investment 🙂
