Chocolate Milk Powder

When I think of chocolate milk powder, I think of Nesquik, the most popular and well-known chocolate powder. But, have you ever looked at the ingredients on the container? There are a few additives that are listed that I could do without.

Homemade Chocolate Milk Powder has just as much (if not better) flavor and is made with only three ingredients! If you are also a fan of white chocolate, I have a white hot chocolate mix you have to try!

How to Make Chocolate Milk Powder

This has to be one of the easiest things to make. All you do is combine the three ingredients-the sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. You can blend them in a food processor or shake them in a container that has a lid (of course). Store the powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

There are a couple of ways you can do this:

• Start by pouring a cup of milk and putting it in the freezer for 5 minutes. Mix 1-2 tablespoons of the powder with a couple of tablespoons of warm water. Mixing with a little warm water first keeps the cocoa pieces from floating to the top and not mixing in. I use 1-2 tablespoons of powder per eight-ounce glass of milk.
• Another way to make chocolate milk is to use a blender. (Highly recommend this method!) For every one cup of milk, I used two tablespoons of the chocolate powder. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, and if you want a nice cold glass of milk, add an ice cube to the blender.

Hot Chocolate

If you are craving hot chocolate, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate milk powder to a cup of heated milk.

Is Chocolate Milk Good for You?

This is a loaded question, but yes! Kinda. Chocolate milk has the same benefits of unsweetened milk, including calcium, vitamin D, and potassium (just to name a few). However, the added sugar is what makes chocolate milk more of a dessert to have once in a while than a drink to have every day. It contains up to two times the sugar of unsweetened cow’s milk.

A study came out recently saying that, “Both chocolate milk and the typical sports drink have carbohydrates to replenish the body. Both combine electrolytes and fluid for rehydration. But the typical sports drink lacks protein to rebuild muscles. Milk naturally contains two types of high-quality protein: whey and casein.”

Is Chocolate Milk Healthy for Kids?

Just like adults, children should drink chocolate milk in moderation. One glass of chocolate milk is more than half the recommended daily sugar intake for kids. So, it’s a great treat, just like going out for ice cream, but a treat that kids and adults should enjoy once in a while.

When you go to buy cocoa for this recipe, choose high-quality cocoa for best results. This will cost a bit more because better cocoa means better beans. Look on theto see that what you are buying is 100 percent cocoa, and then check the nutrition label. The best cocoa will have 1 gram of fat per 5-6 gram serving.

Dutch-process cocoa has a different flavor, but you could try it in this recipe. It’s all about your preference. Dutch-process cocoa will be labeled with something like, ‘processed with alkali’ and will have a less bitter taste. It is also darker, but that doesn’t always mean more flavor. Again, it’s all about preference, but again, choose high-quality cocoa either way.

Can You Double This Recipe?

Absolutely! You can make as much or as little as you would like. Just make sure you store it in an airtight container in a cool dry place and label it with the date made. I often make a quadruple batch, put it in a large mason jar, then add a tablespoon right inside the jar.

How Long Does Milk Powder Last?

This recipe will stay fresh for about 2 years. Yup, you read that right! Granulated sugar lasts about 2 years when stored properly and cocoa powder typically lasts about 3 years.
