When I started eating real food, chocolate milk was one food I sometimes really missed. I didn’t have it often, but when I wanted it, I wanted it! Recently I tried mixing up my own and it was great! Problem solved. 
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. sucanat
1 tbsp. raw cacao
Directions:
Mix ingredients together in a glass jar. Store until needed. To prepare, add to 8 – 12 oz. of raw milk (depending on how chocolatey you like it!).
Of course this recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. so you can store quite a bit of it. You could also try palm sugar or coconut sugar or maple sugar if you wanted. I happened to have sucanat and I like the flavor it gives.
Do you like chocolate milk? How do you make yours?
I do enjoy chocolate milk. This post is timely–my husband was just telling me last night that one of his work-out/health sources recently reviewed the best post-work-out drinks (in terms of refueling/fat/protein/little bit of sugar) and found chocolate milk to be the best! lol
I just came across your website and LOVE it! My girls love chocolate milk, so I also developed a recipe for a great morning chocolate smoothie. Although it's not exact, it can easily be modified to taste.
For 2 kids:.
1 1/2 cups raw milk
3 farmfresh egg yolks (no whites/never use grocery store eggs)
1 or 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
1 or 2 tablespoons raw honey
squirt of Barlean's flax oil (optional)
6 or more ice cubes
Put all ingredients in a blender (vitamix preferred) and blend on high for 30 seconds. Great, quick breakfast, especially if you have a hard time getting kids to eat before school.
How do you get the cocoa to mix in? It keeps clumping at the top of my milk each time I try to make it.
Arual,
I have that problem too. I just keep stirring and stirring and keep my spoon in the cup so I can do a quick stir before sipping if it's been a few minutes. A bit annoying, I know. You could try running it through the blender too though, that might help.
I should haver mentioned in the recipe that I put all of the ingredients in a blender on high for about 15 seconds. This is much easier and works better than stirring. I love the cacao powder from Wilderness Family Naturals (www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com). I have a Vitamix, but I think any blender will do the job.
I also use the caco in hot cocoa for the girls, but I warm the milk on the stove first, then whisk in the cacao powder and raw honey.
I hope this helps!
I have discovered that if you mix the sugar and cocao with a bit of water first it really helps it blend into the milk. I always do that when I make hot cocoa. I often make my son and I banana chocolate shakes with milk cocao banana and egg yolks if I have them and I usually use stevia extract as long as my DH isn’t sharing with us cause he still hasnt gotten past the aftertaste haha.
