Shaken Iced Mocha

By Published in Drinks

My normal weeknight ritual if Mr. Maebell isn’t home is to come home, let the dogs outside, change clothes, fill up gigantic bowls of cold water for the boys and make a nice ice cold drink for me and we spend an hour outside.

After spending an entire day at work staring at a computer screen, I do not want to look at my phone, a computer, or  a TV. It is my time to unwind and unplug. Most of the time I walk around and play fetch for an hour straight with the little guy. But sometimes I just sit in the shade and read a magazine or sit there with my eyes closed. There is something to be said for pausing for a few minutes during the day, breathing in fresh air, and letting the sun shine on your face.

There is also something to be said for drinking big glasses of iced coffee mixed with dark chocolate. There are lots and lots of things to be said about that, actually.

I love a good iced coffee, in pretty much any flavor or variety but my favorite at home version is insanely easy. It just requires iced coffee concentrate, fat free half and half, dark chocolate syrup, ice, and  mason jar.

Here is how we do it!

Fill your mason jar up with ice and pour in about 1/2 cup- 3/4 cup coffee. Then add in your half and half. You can also use milk here, but I like to live on the wild side.

Now, you just pour in about 2 tablespoons of syrup, you can totally adjust this to your liking.

    I am totally with you, Annie! I sit in front of a computer all day too, so the last thing I want to do is to come home and do the same thing! This looks like the perfect iced mocha to help relax after a long day. And I love how easy this is too...just shake and go! Definitely trying this out!

    I like your ritual! Yes- definitely important to have some outside non-screen time. It's too much to be so wired all the time! Love this shaken iced mocha- I could use one of these right about now!

    It is definitely good to take some time away from the computer. I am trying to make more of an effort to do this at the moment. But still keep on top of everything too, and make time to read blogs of course :) I love homemade iced coffee drinks. You can't beat them!

    You are not kidding about unwinding after staring at a computer all day. Love that you sometimes just enjoy the silence and outdoors with your eyes closed! So relaxing, especially with this yummy iced mocha. I love iced coffee and it's so easy to make your own!

    I feel the same way when I get home, I usually just sit outside with my dogs for about half an hour. It's nice to relax after staring at a computer all day long. I love iced coffee and how simple this recipe is too! I could definitely unwind with one of these.

    This looks like the perfect way to unwind! Much better than hitting myself over the head with a Nerf ball until calm sets in. Seriously, this is a great drink!

    I'm with you, there is a lot to be said about a few minutes of peace and disconnect. I've been making it a point to spend time with my daughter after a long day of camp and completely disconnecting from ay social media. We've been spending evenings at the pool and I am bringing this iced coffee with me tomorrow. Love it.

    That is so true, there is really something to be said about just taking a few minutes to close your eyes and relax. I work at a desk and computer all day too and when I get home, all I want to do is sit outside and enjoy the day. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I think I could go for a big glass of this iced mocha! I love my chocolate, and this looks like the perfect end to the day!

    I'm not a huge fan of hot coffee but I LOVE iced coffee - especially flavored ice coffee! This looks so delicious - will be trying this this weekend while I spend the morning in the backyard gardening, watching my dog chase those rascally squirrels! Thanks!

      You know I have always been a major coffee drinker, but lately hot coffee just isn't doing it for me! All I want is cold! I hope you enjoy this!

    Iced coffee is totally my favorite sipper in the summertime. It's almost like a coffee-flavored dessert in liquid form! You have NO idea how badly I am craving a huge-ish glassful of this gorgeous mocha! Pinned. :)
