On the 9th day of Fitmas, Coach Wendy gave to me:

• 9 triceps dippers
• 8 squats a’ squating
• 7 shoulder presses
• 6 walking lunges
• 5 gold star jumps
• 4 killer pushups
• 30 second wall sit
• 2 awesome push ups
• and a 1 minute holiday plank

I used to get so excited when I would see the Limited Edition Holiday Coffee Creamers hit the stores this time of the year!  Who’s with me???

Then I flipped over one of the containers and read the back- YIKES!

I actually drink my coffee black or with a little bit of cinnamon or a few drops of liquid Stevia, but around the holidays I really wanted to enjoy a little treat so I use this homemade creamer recipe now!

Homemade Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer:

• 1 can full-fat coconut milk
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
• ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon peppermint extract

Place all the ingredients in your blender and pulse a few times.  Store in glass container in the refrigerator.

This is definitely a treat.  It may not be considered healthy by some standards, but it is better than this ingredient list:

Water, sugar, coconut oil, sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural and artificial flavors, dipotassium phosphate, mono-and diglycerides, salucrose

Sounds good, huh????

Enjoy!
