Remember that movie Zoolander with Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell? (If you don’t, or never saw it, don’t tell me… it’s quite possibly one of the best movies ever made.) If you do, I know the words “Orange Mocha Frappuccino” will instantly bring a smile to your face! While I too would love to dance around with my friends drinking a delicious fruity and chocolaty beverage, my blood sugars would not like that too much. I’ve always wanted to try one, but the blood sugar spike just isn’t worth it. Sorry, Starbucks.
BUT when Kohana Coffee announced they were having a recipe contest and the winner got $1000, my wheels started spinning… and they even sent me a free bottle of their cold brew to get creative with! And so, I give you the most delicious and decadent breakfast, dessert, snack (or whatever else you want to call it), I think I’ve ever created. Like I literally can’t control myself. You have to go make this Orange Mocha Chia Pudding like now!
