The DIY Question

Ok. I've read the reviews, I've sampled the chocolate milk. I have a solid understanding of what good chocolate milk is. Now — how do I make it? I grow my own almonds and make my own almond milk. What ingredients do I need to make the ultimate version at home?

Ingredients (On Standby)

In order to make the best chocolate milk, you need quality ingredients. These are the staples you should have on hand before preparation. Some are optional but add serious flair.

• Cocoa powder
• Dark chocolate powder
• Mint leaves (dried or fresh — NOT extract)
• Vanilla (bark is better, but extract is easier to find and less expensive)
• Sea salt
• Honey
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg (freshly grated, for garnish)
• Milk or alternative milk — I recommend unsweetened vanilla almond milk as a neutral base

The Post-Workout Smoothie

If you're using chocolate milk as a recovery drink, here's the recipe I actually use:

• 2 cups unsweetened chocolate almond milk (5–10g protein)
• Pea protein powder, 1–2 scoops
• ½ cup frozen fruit (cherries or blueberries work best)
• A couple mint leaves
• 1 tbsp hemp seeds

Blend until homogeneous. The mint and hemp seeds are optional but recommended. For a simpler shake, skip the frozen fruit.
