Hey guys! Man, I need some help. I need to find a good replacement drink for my chocolate milk. Preferably a milk like drink or iced mocha coffee is the next best.

    Why?

    Maybe make chocolate milk with protein powder.

    Milk, sugar free chocolate mix, or cacao and sweetener, or choc protein powder

    What don't you like about the chocolate milk?

    When I had soy milk it tasted like chocolate milk possibly try that and see what it tastes like to you

    If you tell us why you need to replace it (allergies, intolerance, too high calorie to fit your budget, etc.), it'll be easier for us to give you recommendations.

    Mix the powder with some chocolate whey or casein, based on when you take it.

    Curious too why you need a replacement?

    8oz chocolate milk, a scoop of whey isolate, and 8oz of coffee tastes surprisingly like a mocha. Refrigerate it overnight for the cold version.

    Alpro soya chocolate or almond silk chocolate are both great substitutes.

    Oooooh ... that sounds good - or mix it with a chocolate flavour whey isolate instead (or a cocoa powder and vanilla flavour whey isolate) ...

    Chocolate milk is really good post training. I make my own with milk, cocoa, cinnamon and honey to avoid all sorts of additives...

    A couple have mentioned making their own - what cocoa powder do you use? And milk? Do you use Coconut milk like Ladipoet, soy, almond, or ... ? And adding cinnamon sounds like a nice little kick to it. :)

    Hershey's syrup with Silk Cashew Milk or other alternative "milk"

    I love to pour half an inch of Skim Plus milk in a tall glass, put in a decent amount of Hershey's chocolate syrup, fill the rest of the glass with club soda, and stir. Delicious!

    (Not sure if your issue is the milk, chocolate, calories...)

    Ripple Foods just came out with a Chocolate Pea Protein Milk - it's not too bad.

    Depends on why you want to replace it, but I'm currently obsessed with unsweetened brewing chocolate (you make it like coffee -- it tastes like chocolate or chocolate with spices, but is largely calorie-free and has no sweetness/sugar). I sometimes drink it hot and sometimes chill it. (My vice is coffee, and replacing coffee with this stuff is helping me cut down on caffeine.)

    Would you please provide a link to your brewing chocolate?

    Here's one for you for herbal coffee alternatives: http://teeccino.com

    Chocolate raspberry is my favorite. Amaretto is quite good as well. I see they have replaced Maya Chocolate with Maya Chai and will have to give that a try. Some flavors are cheaper on Amazon and for those who have a membership with Frontier, the best prices are there. Alas, chocolate raspberry is only available on teeccino.com.

    GottaBurnEm found a different one she liked, so I know there are various sources.

    I'm from South Africa so we have different brands here. Cocoa is just any cocoa powder and I use normal pasteurised cow milk, full cream (we have that, 2% or fat free as options in our cow milk range). I want to try it with coconut milk though.

    @RDahling ....you can pretty much use any kind of coconut milk (or nut milk, soy milk, dairy milk, etc.) and any kind of coca powder. I like the El Mexicano brand of coconut milk and I use Hershey's cocoa powder. But I usually make it into "Mexican Hot Chocolate" by adding some ground cinnamon and vanilla flavored liquid stevia and a little bit of xanthan or guar gum to thicken it up a bit. Works well hot or cold and is veeeeeeeeeeery tasty!!

    I use something called Crio Bru that I found at Wegmans. I've only used the "Maya" flavor. It's just coarsely ground cacao beans, and I think all the flavors they were selling at the time were all just cacao, with variations in sourcing and roasting, but it looks from the website they make a pumpkin spice and a peppermint flavor as well.

    I mostly just add a bit of the cacao beans to my coffee when I'm making cold brew or french press. If I want a nearly sugar-free hot chocolate drink, I generally just use (baking) cocoa powder, cinnamon, ground chilis, maybe almond extract or ground almonds, and a very small amount of sugar and/or splenda with hot milk.
