Peppermint Cream ~ A Non-Guilty Pleasure in Coffee, Hot Cocoa, and Crio Bru

Peppermint Cream on Crio Bru

Yum

I super love this pick-me up and treat in the afternoons while I’m working at the computer. If you haven’t tried the Peppermint Cream recipe I shared at Christmas time, you really must take a few minutes to whip some up (literally). It has zero sugar, is all real, and it tastes delicious in hot drinks.

My favorite use for Peppermint Cream is in and on a hot mug of Crio Bru. What is Crio Bru, you ask? It is ground cocoa beans, which you brew just like coffee. Yup, straight chocolate, no sugar. Sounds bitter? Actually, it really is delicious all on its own without sugar. (You can also doctor it up with maple syrup and milk and make it into the most delicious hot chocolate you’ve ever had.)  I love it all by itself – but topped with this Peppermint Cream? Well, it is amazing. Rich, hot, creamy, and all real. Delicious!

I order Crio Bru from Amazon, iHerb, or Azure Standard. It’s a little pricey, so I definitely consider it a treat. But it’s a no-sugar treat that warms me from the inside out. Love it!

Have you tried Crio Bru? And more importantly, have you tried Peppermint Cream?  Yum, yum, yum, and then some.

Gratituesday: Hot Drinks

I feel like this is a silly thing to be grateful for, but hey, it’s the little things, right?

I am typically cold from September until May. Slippers, long johns, wool socks, and sweaters are my best friends during these months. Beyond those, I love my hot drinks. Hot tea, Hot Cocoa, and Crio Bru really hit the spot, and yes, it even appears that I can now add coffee to that list. (Who starts liking coffee at the age of 40? This girl, apparently.)

What I really love about hot drinks is that now I associate them with my Bible reading time. There is something so comforting about enjoying my favorite mug filled with a warm drink while I spend time in the Word each morning. Then later in the day, even if I’m not able to sit down again to read, fixing a hot drink triggers memories of Truths I read earlier in the day and reminds me to keep my focus on the One I’m learning to completely surrender my life to.

Yep, sometimes I also share my Bible time with a Lego army.

So hot drinks remind me of Jesus? Well no wonder I am so grateful for them. :)  Are you a fan of hot drinks?
