While everyone else is going gah-gah for pumpkin spice lattes, I've always been one to patiently wait for peppermint mocha season. And it's finally here! So naturally I had to make my own nourishing version.
Y'all know my Bulletproof Superfood Coffee Creamer recipe is more than just a daily ritual for me. It's a time-saver and a game-changer and it makes me feel amazing; I hate going even a day without it. (And thousands of y'all have loved it too!) This recipe has all the same fat-blasting and energy-boosting power but with a holiday twist. Click here to read why I incorporated each of these ingredients and how it helps curb cravings and promote fat loss.
Ingredients
- 2 cans full fat coconut milk
- 8 scoops collagen peptides
- 1 tbsp himalayan pink salt ghee
- 3 tbsp ghee, original
- 2 tbsp MCT oil
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp maca powder
- 12 drops peppermint essential oil
Optional
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Pour coconut milk in a small pot and warm over low heat on stovetop. Fat and liquid are likely separated, so warm and stir to mix evenly.
- Add collagen peptides and stir until dissolved.
- Add ghee and MCT oil. Continue to melt and stir.
- Add cacao, cocoa, maca and peppermint. Stir.
- Pour contents into a blender or use immersion blender straight in the pot. Blend 2 minutes.
- Transport to storage bottle and shake. Allow it to cool on the counter while shaking periodically, then store in fridge.
Just like my Bulletproof Superfood Coffee Creamer, this is perfect for pouring into a hot cup of coffee in the morning and simply frothing up with the magic of a handheld milk frother (I've since upgraded to this one from Amazon).
It's like Christmas in a cup! Whip this recipe up and you'll be sippin on some healthy holiday cheer every morning.
xx, molls

I am not a pumpkin spice latte person either. I have been wanting to try bullet proof coffee but I am a little scared as it goes against my regular way of eating. #dilemmas
Oh girl don’t be scared! I was too but now I will never go back. It’s honestly changed my health and my life!
OMG – this sounds perfect. I love bullet proof coffee and this totally takes it to the next level!
Yes next level indeed! I hope you love it!
Love this! it’s so festive!
Gotta get in the holiday spirit!
Sounds so delicious!!
It’s so yummy! Let me know if you try it!
i just made me peppermint latte…so this creamer is on my list to make!
Oh yay I bet you’ll love this then!
That looks a-ma-zing. I love all things Bulletproof so I’m so in on this recipe!
Yes it’s like bulletproof x5! So yummy!
Okay, I am definitely on board with this!!! I’ve lost a lot of my appetite since my injury and this would be a great way to add in some more fats!
Yes this packs all the nutrients and fats in early in the day!
Yes! I am a huge fan of peppermint over pumpkin! These recipe looks so yummy!
Peppermint > pumpkin! 🙂
Thanks for the recipe!! I have been wanting to try a bulletproof creamer!!
You’re welcome, Kalee! I hope you love it! You’ll have to let me know what you think when you try it.
Ya know… I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I love peppermint mocha more than PSL too. I call it christmas in a cup! So much better for me! Love this healthier version.
Yay well I hope you love this one in particular, Julie 🙂
Mollie this sounds wonderful. Great for sweater weather!
Yes sweater weather perfection!
mollie, you use cacao and cocoa in this recipe… I only have cacao powder can I substitute or does the cocoa make a big difference?
Great question, Brooke! You can definitely use 4 tbsp of the cacao powder instead. I use both because they have different flavor – because the cocoa is alkalinized, it is less bitter. But the cacao powder has more antioxidants so you’ll get more nutrients that way. I would just taste test to see if it needs any sweetener.
What is the equivalent measurement for 8 scoops of collagen? Mine doesn’t have a scoop.
Sarah, it’s about 8 tbsp worth. Hope you enjoy!
i just made this recipe this weekend and had it in my coffee this morning and holy smokes mollie it is sooo good. it’s creamy and perfectly sweet and kept me full til lunch. christmas in a cup, indeed.
Oh wow I’m so glad you loved it, Jessica!
Mollie! You did it again! I’m a huge fan of your regular bulletproof creamer so I figured I’d give this holiday version a go. This is even better than I imagined it would be. So delicious!
Yay Nancy! I’m so glad you like it. Thanks for the rave review 🙂
Does this solidify in the refrigerator?
Hey Heather, thanks for your question. It will depend on which type of ingredients you use. If you use the full fat canned coconut milk with no added guar gums as separators, it will likely clump a little (as fats harden at cold temps). All I do is run my glass bottle under a little hot water, shake it up, and it’s easy to pour.
Mollie I finally got around to making this and it’s phenomenal! Yummm! Much better than the super sugary one at Starbucks
Yes Jackie! So much better than that naughty junk, right? 🙂 Glad you’re loving it. Hope it makes your Christmas season extra sweet.
Hi there, all is going perfectly here and ofcourse every one is sharing data,
that’s truly good, keep up writing.
