What I Love About This Keto Chocolate Milk Recipe
Well, first off, it’s sippable low carb chocolate! And then…

- Tastes amazing in everything!
- No carbs, sugar, or preservatives here. Just the good stuff.
Recipe Notes
As I mentioned, there’s not much to this keto chocolate milk recipe! Here’s what you should know before diving in:
Ingredient Notes
Milk – There are a whole lotta carbs in cow’s milk (due to milk’s naturally occurring sugars called lactose)Â so opt for whatever low carb milk you prefer, such as coconut milk or almond milk.
You can add a touch of heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk, but using only these would make your keto chocolate milk SUPER rich drink and (in my opinion) hard to drink.

Cocoa powder – I much prefer dutch process cocoa powder as it’s got a smoother, more mellow and less acidic taste.
Sweetener –Â I switch between 2 keto sweeteners: allulose and erythritol. For cold recipes (recipes that aren’t being baked, such as frosting, ice cream, and drinks), I much prefer allulose, as erythritol has a tendency to recrystallize and create a gritty texture.
Opt for allulose for the best texture results, but erythritol will do if you don’t mind!
Tools To Make
Just a blender! Cocoa powder is hard to incorporate with liquids, and using a blender is the best tool for the job. If you don’t have a blender, I suggest heating the milk and cocoa powder over the stovetop, and whisking until they’re well incorporated.
Serving Recommendations
This keto chocolate milk tastes delicious added to all sorts of drinks (like low carb smoothies), and cocktails (like this low carb martini), but it’s also great on its own, with a drizzle of sugar free chocolate syrup and low carb cookies dipped in it!
Recipe Variations
There are so many ways to get creative with chocolate milk, including:
- Swap cocoa powder with strawberry powder for strawberry milk. Sub in any low carb fruits you prefer instead of strawberry powder.
- Add some spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or even pumpkin pie spice (which would go great in my sugar free pumpkin spice latte!)
- Turn this into a low carb protein shake with a scoop of low carb protein powder. If your protein powder is sweetened, be sure to skip the sweetener, and if it’s chocolate, skip the cocoa powder.
- Make chocolate milk ice cubes by freezing an ice cube tray full of this keto chocolate milk. These are great when added to ice coffee.
- Turn this into a low carb milkshake by blending the frozen chocolate milk ice cubes and topping it with sugar free whipped cream.

Lindsey's Tips
- Chocolate. I love Lily's chocolate chips for this (they make dark, semi-sweet, and milk) but you can always make your own low carb chocolate by following my recipe!
- Cocoa Powder. I much prefer dutch process cocoa powder in sweets, as it’s significantly less bitter than regular!
- Milk. I swap between unsweetened light almond or coconut milk.
- Allulose/Sweetener. Erythritol will work as well but will have a grainer texture

This was THE BEST chocolate milk I’ve ever tasted. I used 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1 3/4 cup of almond milk and it was delicious. I mixed in some expressions powder to bring out the chocolate. When I am desperate for a chocolate fix, this will be my go to dessert.
