My homemade chocolate milk recipe is better than any chocolate milk mix you'll find in a grocery store! This chocolate milk with cocoa powder is ready in under five minutes and there are tons of ways to customize it.
Place all the ingredients into a blender and mix. Taste test and adjust the sweetness if needed. Then pour it into your cup.You can also use an immersion blender or a whisk and mix the chocolate milk powder drink directly into your glass.
Storage Instructions
Fridge: keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or the milk's use-by date).Freezer: store in an airtight container or freezer-save ziplock back for up to 4 months.
Notes
Here are some suggestions to add extra flavor or customize it to your liking:
Espresso: A drizzle of coffee or a pinch of espresso powder (or instant coffee) will deepen the chocolate flavor of any chocolate milk drink.
Chocolate: I like classic homemade chocolate syrup or chocolate shavings.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
Butter: you can add a tablespoon of butter for extra healthy fats.
Top with marshmallows or whipped cream.
Sprinkle chili powder or cayenne powder for an extra kick.
Add a scoop of ice cream to turn it into a chocolate milkshake.
How to make this chocolate milk hot: Heat the milk up in a small saucepan before adding the cocoa powder. Alternatively, heat the milk in a microwave-safe bowl or cup, then add the cocoa and whisk well. Check the blog post for more tips and answers to top FAQs!
