Mid Day Snack

Vietnamese Cinnamon Iced Mocha Frap & Almond Frozen Cookies



Forget the blender go iced with this drink. I serve mine in a wine glass, hey it's less calories! The cookies are healthy and fun to make, paired with this luscious drink this is truly a mid day treat!

Mid Day Drink-
2 cups of Brewed coffee
2Tbsp of sugar or I use Sweetened Condensed Milk
Stir this in while coffee is hot- set aside


In a Saute pan heat on low till melted
1 Tbsp. Raw Honey
1/4 tsp. Vietnamese ground Cinnamon
1 oz more if you like of any dark Chocolate I used Lindt 70%


once melted add the coffee and whisk. Let it cool a little. I put ice in my wine glass and pour dink into. Top with whip cream and chocolate syrup! This recipe is enough for 2 drinks


Raw Cookies - No baking required!
1/2 cup of Almonds - Chop and pulse in food processor to get them small enough to roll cookies in later.
Food process: 1/2 cup Almond Butter (make sure some oil is incorporated in this)
1/4 cup raw honey or Agave
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Dash of Salt
Now freeze this for 30 min
Take out of freezer and roll into small balls. Roll the cookie into the ground Almonds. Freeze for 2 hours before serving. Yes serve cold.
These will keep for a month in the freezer in a sealed container.
Makes about 20 cookies
