Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes; A healthy and fun way to make chocolate milk!
So instead I decided to make these Chocolate Milk Ice Cubes. By heating the milk and cocoa powder everything gets combined together nicely and of course by freezing it you ensure a lovely cold glass of chocolate milk. It also means that you can batch make the ice cubes so that you have them on hand to pop into a glass of milk. Instant cold chocolate milk…yum!
Do you think your kids would enjoy the novelty of this chocolate milk?

Fab idea. My 5 year old is always asking for the shop bought ones which not only are normally really unhealthy but also really expensive so these will be great to have in the freezer when he next asks!

Awesome idea! Totally trying this for my little who’s been shunning milk lately. Can’t bring myself to buy store bought (so unhealthy!) and I love that you just need a couple of cubes of this to do the job. Thanks!
