It’s surprisingly easy to make a mocha latte recipe at home and you don’t need a fancy machine or equipment either. This healthy mocha latte recipe is a delicious guilt-free treat with only 24 calories per serving and vegan ingredients.
Many of us get in the habit of stopping at the coffee shop to indulge in a tasty latte or other tasty drink. But those lattes can be expensive and usually contain a lot of sugar or less-healthy ingredients like corn syrup.
Does that mean you have to will yourself to stop and deny yourself that delicious treat? Not at all!
You can make a healthy homemade mocha latte at home that’s far cheaper than the coffee shop and much healthier too. Plus you can whip a latte up any time you want in just 2-3 minutes!
I’ll show you how to make a healthy mocha latte with a few simple healthy ingredients right at home.
Mocha Latte Ingredients
First, let’s look at the ingredients.
To make this homemade healthy mocha latte recipe, you’ll need:
- your favorite brewed hot coffee
- almond milk, coconut milk, or your preferred milk
- For the Love of Chocolate cocoa mix or your favorite healthy cocoa.
- liquid stevia, optional (if you prefer a slightly sweeter mocha latte)
I love and highly recommend For the Love of Chocolate cocoa mix. It’s a rich, creamy cocoa and completely guilt-free with no sugar (it uses a perfect blend of erythritol and stevia as healthier sweeteners) and organic cocoa.
It was created by an herbalist and chocolate connoisseur. I use Carolyn’s cocoa almost daily myself and highly recommend it. It’s the perfect cocoa mix for this homemade mocha latte!
You can buy it here: In Joy Now Chocolate Cocoa
There’s also a Peppermint cocoa and an Orange flavored cocoa.
This mocha latte is dairy-free, vegan, and of course naturally gluten-free too.
Mocha Latte “Booster” Ideas:
Your healthy mocha latte can be even more than just a yummy, guilt-free treat. You can add even more benefits with a couple of supplements if you want.
Here are two supplements I regularly use and recommend:
- Chaga mushroom powder
– Chaga can help promote concentration, is an adaptogen (meaning it can help promote relaxation and stress relief) and it’s great for supporting the immune system. Add 1/2 teaspoon to your mocha latte recipe for a flavorless way to add additional benefit - Collagen – excellent for your skin and joints, collagen may also help you feel full for longer – Plus collagen can make your latte even creamier! Add 1/2 teaspoon or the recommended amount on the label

How to Make a Homemade Mocha Latte
Your coffee should already be brewed and ready to go. If not, brew yourself a cup or two now.
This mocha latte recipe doesn’t require a fancy latte machine.
To make your homemade mocha latte, all you need to do is add all your ingredients (and supplements if you choose) to a blender.
Blend until frothy, then pour into a mug and reheat in your microwave or into a saucepan to heat until it’s just beginning to steam or reaches your desired temperature. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy!
One batch of this vegan mocha latte makes 2 servings. Each serving contains approximately 24 calories or 49 calories if you enjoy the whole batch.
I hope you enjoy this healthy homemade mocha latte recipe as much as I do. I came up with this recipe last fall and I make this often! You can’t beat quick, easy, healthy, and delicious!
