I’ve never been able to give up my sweet tooth in all my years of low carbing. When I was pregnant I craved chocolate milk – well at least I *think* I it was a pregnancy craving, but it may just have been a reaction to stopping low carbing, and that was the first thing that I wanted a LOT of. Yes, even before bread, pasta, and candy!
I don’t often make chocolate milk because it is so difficult from a low carb point of view. But it occurred to me that if I made up a big batch of it, I might be way more likely to drink some. My recipe for the powder is simple: just two ingredients!
Add ½ cup of low carb sweetener (eg granular Swerve or xylitol) and ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to a small screw-top jar. Shake the jar until fully mixed and it is ready to go!
Mix 2 teaspoons of the powder with 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. 2 teaspoons of this chocolate milk mix contains just 1g net carbs. A cup of the almond milk doesn’t contain any carbs – so this makes for a pretty low carb drink!
Two ways to make it: Shake it up or blend it. To shake, add everything to a cup or bottle with a lid, shake until mixed. To blend, add ingredients to a cup and use a stick immersion blender to mix it together. This is my favorite method!
As you can see I made a cute label for my chocolate mix jar – just to make sure no-one else in my house got their hands on it!

March 5, 2017 at 9:53 amDo you know if it would it be the same amount of Truvia? That’s the only sweetener I use and actually like. Thanks!
Georgina says
March 6, 2017 at 4:59 pmYes I’m sure it would work fine. I think Truvia contains fewer carbs than Swerve, too – but check that before you make it!
Brianne says
March 11, 2017 at 10:20 amThanks! It is absolutely delicious! My boyfriend doesn’t like the vanilla almond milk, so I have unsweetened original and it’s absolutely delicious with this mix. 🙂 Truvia has 0 net carbs and is the closest thing to regular sugar to me, I love it!
Another thing you could add to make it even better is non dairy powder creamer. My mom mentioned that the other day. I would have never thought of it! I haven’t tried it with the creamer yet though.

January 3, 2019 at 10:38 pmI had pyure organic stevia would that work or the swerve both kinds the confectiors and grandulated one and I have stevia also. So would it be the same for them?trisa
Georgina says
January 3, 2019 at 10:50 pmXylitol is equal sweetness in volume to sugar, so granulated Swerve would be a great alternative!

January 22, 2019 at 9:28 amI’ve been making a similar mixture using sucralose instead of xylitol, but it froths up big-time when I shake it up with milk to mix it — rather unpleasant. Is that also a problem with the xylitol version? And/or does anyone know of some benign anti-frothing agent that might be added to the mix?
Georgina says
January 23, 2019 at 11:10 amYou can see from my photos that there is a little froth from using the immersion blender – but not a crazy amount! No idea about an anti-frothing agent I’m afraid!

April 15, 2019 at 7:57 pmI am allergic to almonds and 2% has 12 carbs. Any other suggestions?
