MINTED MOCHA SMOOTHIE
2 tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cups of strong brewed coffee, preferably expresso or Cuban coffee
few drops of mint flavoring
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
Mix the cocoa powder and sugar in a saucepan. Stir in enough coffee to
make a paste, then add the rest of the coffee. Heat just to boiling, stirring
frequently. Cool slightly, add peppermint extract, then pour into ice
cube trays or a shallow dish or pan. Freeze until almost solid. Place frozen
coffee mixture into a blender or food processor. Add milk and process
until smooth. For a decadent touch, top with some reduced calorie whipped
topping and and sprig of fresh mint, slightly crushed to release the aroma.
