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!
How to Make Homemade Low Carb Chocolate Milk Mix
Add ½ cup of low carb sweetener (eg Lakanto or granular Swerve) and ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to a small screw-top or mason jar. Shake the jar until fully mixed and it is ready to go!
To make up the chocolate milk, mix two teaspoons of the powder with one cup of unsweetened almond milk. 2 teaspoons of this chocolate milk mix contains just 1g net carb. 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 the result is smoother and better mixed.
As you can see I made a cute label for my chocolate mix jar - just to make sure no-one else in my house gets their hands on it!

Yum! I'm go see if I can fool my kids with this. It tastes great to me. Thank you!
Georgina says
You're welcome Andrea!
Brianne says
Do 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
Yes 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
Thanks! 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.
Georgina says
Fantastic!

I 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
Xylitol is equal sweetness in volume to sugar, so granulated Swerve would be a great alternative!
trisa says
thanks
Bob Morse says
I'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
You 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!
MaLena says
I am allergic to almonds and 2% has 12 carbs. Any other suggestions?
Georgina says
Cashew milk or coconut milk? Just make sure that you look for unsweetened versions.

Hi Georgina. I love this chocolate drink - so simple and easy to make. But I have a question. I use Erythritol sugar and cocoa but I find that 2 teaspoons doesn't make 24 servings. I use a proper tsp measure so not sure where things are going wrong. I have made up two lots of mixture and I think it will eventually make about 30 servings not 48. Not worried by this but wondered if you have any suggestions - ie perhaps not using proper measures etc. It won't however stop me drinking it!
Thank you. Kate
Georgina says
That is very strange. As it happens I ran out of my mix recently and had been planning to make some more. I shall report back!
