Iced Dark Chocolate Vanilla Mocha with Nespresso

This iced dark chocolate vanilla mocha is the best way to start your morning. I love using the Napoli Pods from Nespresso for this easy recipe. You'll love how the dark chocolate adds so much depth to this drink without a ton of sweetness. It's the perfect drink to start your day!
