This dish inspired by Costa Rican spices seems exotic, but it uses spices and ingredients you already have around the house: coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. You'll wonder why you've been relegating these flavorings to dessert!

My take on Emerald's popular almond flavor.

An orange juice and cocoa infused coffee, lightly sweetened, with a splash of milk for smoothness. Very low calorie/carbs and great for an early evening cup of java.

This is a great treat for a cold day or to wind down in the evening or as a great drink in the morning instead of coffee?? The cinnamon really complements the Chocolate Almond Milk. Please rate this recipe, I am curious to know if you like as much as I do.

P.S. Land O Lakes Whipped Heavy Extra Creamy that you can buy at Costco has sugar listed in the ingredients but isn't enough to show up under the Carbohydrate/Sugars in the Nutrition Facts. I don't have anymore than the 2 Tbsp but if you do I would count it as 1 sugar. It's good without the Whipped Cream too!! MMmmm Enjoy! Tammy :)
