Ingredients

CHOCOLATE MILK:

• Almond milk. Store-bought or homemade (You can make your own Almond milk using this recipe)
• Organic cocoa powder. Unsweetened works best, my favorites are Ghirardelli and Viva Naturals

What Does Chocolate Almond Milk Taste Like?

This chocolate almond milk is everything I was dreaming of, it's:

• Super chocolaty
• Slightly nutty from the almonds
• Thick + creamy
• The perfect level of sweetness without being too sweet

Best Ways To Enjoy Chocolate Almond Milk

While enjoying it fresh after blending is the obvious choice, I personally prefer mine chilled. Sometimes I add a few ice cubes afterward, but if the milk was already in the fridge, it's cold enough as is. However, sipping it straight isn't the only option.

Here are some fun ways to use it:

• Add this plant-based milk to all your favorite drinks like coffee + smoothies.
• Pour on top of your favorite breakfast goodies like cereal or granola
• Sub our regular milk for chocolate milk in pancake or waffle batter!
• Try adding it to puddings or cake batters for a chocolate twist.
• Unsurprisingly this milk is perfect in all types of oatmeal try it in overnight oats!

Tips For The Best Chocolate Almond Milk

Here are some tips to make the best + creamiest vegan chocolate milk:

• Use pure unsweetened cocoa powder--- It's better to be in control of your sweetness.
• Sweetness is totally up to you! Whether it's maple syrup, honey, or dates, pick your favorite natural sweetener. Just tweak it until it's perfect for your taste buds!
• Blend everything thoroughly. About 1-2 minutes to achieve an extra smooth milk.

Can I Use Another Milk For Almond Chocolate Milk?

Absolutely, you can use any milk you like to make this delicious chocolate milk. While almond milk is great, I know many are allergic to nuts or just not fans. Opt for your favorite store-bought or homemade vegan dairy-free milk, or regular milk if you prefer! Here are some simple recipes to make your own milk that's cheaper and super easy!

• Quinoa Milk
• Coconut Milk
• Easy Homemade Creamy Cashew Milk

Homemade vs. Store-bought Chocolate Milk

This simple ingredient vegan chocolate milk recipe is definitely a staple in my fridge (My kid + husband LOVE it)

I have to admit I was a little late to the homemade milk train, opting for my favorite go-to brands like Califia Farms and So Delicious instead. They're amazing, so why make my own, right? Haha. Whelp. I've since given in to the trend, and I must say that I'm glad I did. There are a lot of great reasons to opt for homemade chocolate milk.

Can I Warm Up Chocolate Oat Milk?

Absolutely! You can heat it up just like regular milk. It's perfect for making warm and comforting beverages like hot chocolate or adding a delightful touch to your morning coffee. Just be sure to heat it gently over medium heat and stir occasionally to prevent scorching
