Hazelnut Soy Mocha using the Ninja Coffe Bar

Hazelnut Soy Mocha

A couple months ago we bought this Ninja Coffee Bar and I’ve been playing barista again! I actually miss working in coffee shops … but I don’t miss the pay and long hours!

Though it’s really not a true espresso machine at all , it makes decent coffee for the price . It is very user-friendly and easy to use. Ours also came with a recipe book which is neat! I haven’t tried any of them yet but I will be trying out some of the iced coffee drinks here soon.

I wanted to share one of the drinks I’ve been making myself lately as I think it is just about perfect ! I use Dove hot chocolate mix for the mocha but I’m sure you can use any other brand. I’ve tried it with both soy milk and almond milk and personally prefer it with the soy. I also tried the Torani Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup and I do prefer the regular sugar-filled stuff but I’m trying to not have so much sugar in the AMs lately.

hazelnut soy mocha

You will need :

  1. Coffee grounds of your choice (I like Bustelo for this recipe)
  2. Dove hot chocolate powder
  3. Hazelnut syrup
  4. Soy milk

Directions :

I usually use the “specialty ” (4 oz) setting for the mocha but you can use the cafe forte setting (8oz), you just need less milk.

 

 

So for either one of those settings I use two large scoops of coffee. (The coffee bar comes with this handy scoop and I love that it sticks to the side of the machine so I won’t ever lose it !)

 

 

 

Then while that is brewing I take About 1/2 C of soy milk and heat that up in the microwave. Using a glass measuring cup is the easiest for this step !  I hit the “beverage” button on my microwave and it heats it to the perfect temp! But I’m guessing 30-45 seconds would do it if you don’t have that setting on your microwave. Or if you don’t have a microwave (we didn’t for years) you can just heat that up in a pot on your stove. Be careful not to burn it though !

 

 

Please don’t judge my dirty microwave ! haha

 

 

When the coffee is done brewing I take 2 Tbs of the chocolate powder and mix that in to the coffee.  You can most definitely add more but I don’t like mine too sweet. Then I add half a shot glass of the hazelnut syrup and swirl it around.

 

 

 

At this time the milk will be done heating in the microwave and I froth it up just a bit using the frother on the side of the coffee maker. This is very easy to do … you basically just stick the mug with the milk up to the frother and while holding the button you move it up and down. I hope that makes sense !

I pour the frothy soy milk on top and voila !

It is sooo good and those chilly mornings we are still having here in Colorado make this drink so perfect and cozy.

And there you have it ! A creamy, nutty chocolatey hot drink that you can make every day ! Enjoy!

    That looks delicious! I’m a coffee drinker and am always looking for new ideas for coffee drinks. The only draw back for me not making this right now, is that I don’t own a ninja coffee bar. 🙁

    This sounds so good! I’m not a fan of creamers, even nondairy, but even with that omission it sounds great

I have grown to really love Winter, and get excite I have grown to really love Winter, and get excited with each snow fall. But I am already dreaming of being barefoot in the grass and foraging for herbs in the forest. There's nothing better than a late Spring breeze blowing through an open window and watching the forest explode with color and life. We still have a few more months before I can enjoy those things, so until then, I'll try to savor the cozy days of hot tea, cookies, crunchy snowy walks, and candle light. 
Are you itching for Spring already or happy with the snow?

We lost power for most of the day yesterday becaus We lost power for most of the day yesterday because of a windstorm. It's kind of like our snow day when this happens, so we spent the day making a fort in the living room, reading books and playing games. It was the perfect cozy day to bring out our latest @literatikids box. This month's box was by far Liam's favorite so far. (I'll show you what we got in my stories today) 
Our favorite monthly surprise, @literatikids has been sending us some really amazing and beautiful books to add to our little library. Head to the link in my bio if you are interested in 25% off your first box! Signing up is super easy. You choose which club your kiddo would fall into (books are chosen by age and reading level) then the 5 hand-selected books arrive at your door! You get a week to try out the books, then send what you don't want back for free. So far we have loved every book we have received! 📚 
When the power came back on last night, Liam and I were actually bummed😆 I love having a tech-free day and he loves building forts and using candles for light. He also loves when I cook a meal with our camp stove at home. It was nice to have running water again, though. That I definitely missed!

Have you ever put together a book basket? I use t Have you ever put together a book basket? 
I use to do these a lot when my son was a toddler and I decided to  make one today for #mtnwildstorytime to see how my 8 year old would like it. I was very surprised that he really loved it!! Even though everything in this basket are items we already own, it all seemed new and novel to him presented in a basket. Easiest story time ever! You can make these book baskets with any picture book, and I already have about a dozen ideas to share with you! Gather up things around your house that fit the theme or setting of the book. This could be a snack mentioned in the book, toys of the characters, coloring pages, seasonal items.... 
I gathered up some bear and wolf stuffed animals, wood toys, plastic toy animals, and paper masks. 
While we read through Bear and Wolf by Daniel Salmieri, my kiddo played with the bear and wolf toys and pulled out his rock collection and toy trees and set up a little forest scene. This story takes place during the Winter, so he took some white felt and laid that on the ground for snow. Then he decided he wanted to read through his wolf facts book (wolves are his favorite animal) and we watched some educational videos online about bears and wolves.  It was a long story time but the best one we have had in awhile. 
Happy reading ! 📚

Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD tincture duo! [#gifted] 
I need all the harmony I can get right now 🙏 
The energy enhancement tincture is peppermint and tastes real good in my morning coffee 😁 The sleep secured tincture is lemon flavored and perfect in a hot cup of chamomile at the end of a long day. The harmony blend doesn't have a flavor so can be added really to anything.  You can put a dropperful right under your tongue but I prefer adding it to beverages, myself.

I'm curious, do you use CBD daily, occasionally, or never ? (Topical or tinctures)
