Healthy Cafe Mocha Drink

Love those frothy iced coffee drinks?
Coffee has it's pluses, new studies report that drinking 3-5 cups per day can deter Alzheimers,  and help with colon, breast and liver cancer as well as other diseases...the consensus is that coffee's pro's now outweigh the cons.  http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/coffee-new-health-food      
 
Still it would be unwise to completely ignore the cons...so instead of spending $3-5 for a coffee drink that will ultimately dehydrate your internal organs, age your skin and leave your teeth discolored, why not whip up a healthier solution that will boost your energy naturally from whole foods, improve your immune system and help rejuvenate your skin?

This delicious, healthy, affordable alternative is easily whipped up at home.  It's great as a summer cooler, to take the edge off hunger, late night snack, or as an 'on the go' breakfast or pre/post fitness drink.
