Only if it's hot. To make cool (not cold) cocoa milk add just enough hot water to turn it into a thick chocolate syrup, then add cold milk. It won't be sweet at all so I recommend adding stevia or LoHan. That makes it taste great.

Yes, it does. I blend it everyday with a Greek yogurt and kefir. I do it just with a spoon and small circles. I tried it in a blender and it liquifies the yogurt too much. If you mix it in a blender it will be done in seconds. I use Vitamix. Hope you are using raw milk ( just teasing...I don't touch conventional processed milk). It will make an excellent and mainly nutritious chocolate milk.

A great alternative to chocolate milk is blend:1 cup water or almond milk (more or less depending on how thick you want it)2 tbsp. cacao powdersmall handful almonds1 1/2-2 bananas1/2-1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)This is very good and tastes even better than chocolate milk!

I can only speak for mixing it in a blender. This is unsweetened, so if it was added to milk you would need a sweetener. I have been trying to curb my sugar intake so I add a Tbsp of this to 3/4 c almond milk, (rice, coconut or almond/coconut milk works too) plus 1/2 banana (for sweetener) and blend with cup of ice. Its like a chocolate smoothie. Great for kids too without the added calories. Just recently started trying this recipe with the Navitas Natural pomegranate powder in place of the Cacoa. Yum! Good luck

This does not blend well in milk. I would order the cacao liquor/paste product (made by the same company).

Perhaps with a blender. But for all general purposes, a spoon and a cold glass of milk will get you nowhere. What i would suggest is making a syrup out of it, add what sugar you want (if any) and go from there. A bit more involved, not sure if you want to take it that far, but worth it.

Navitas raw cacao powder blends well with all milks, skim, 2% and whole milk. Nutritionally and taste-wise for the kids, I would suggestskim milk and a little truvia to sweeten the stronger tasting Navitas cacao and acclimate their taste buds to the healthier chocolate milk.

Correction: If you add milk it will be sweet enough. If you use water instead, you'll need a sweenener. Sorry

I am aware of any recipe other than what is on the package. However, I did use substitutes for yogurt, like coconut milk and plain water. I will try using pumpkin, you can't go wrong because the chocolate flavor dominates. The texture may vary but it is still delicious.

It's very sweet to me and very vanilla. Havent tried the chocolate. I haven't found it to be clumpy buy I use my vitAmix. Can't cut the vanilla even with fruit and almond/coconut milk. But I will use it.

Depends. I have gluten and corn allergies so everything tastes good to me that has flavor at all. My husband and oldest daughter don't like the taste, but my 3 year old likes it and has been drinking the Amazing Kids Chocolate Meal shake since since she was 1. It isn't fine and doesn't dissolve like other meal shakes but I find it addictive (best in a blender). The best way to mix it is with almond milk. Regular milk is too thick and water is too thin. If you are already used to ultra organic and healthy tasting shakes then you will love it. However, if you are used to slim fast or carnation instant breakfast type shakes you probably won't like it. I hope that helps. Depends. I have gluten and corn allergies so everything tastes good to me that has flavor at all.

Has anyone tried using soy milk in any of the recipes? Do you think it will turn out runny like the lactose milk? What do you think about using soy creamer?

For me it's ok when mixed with most other things. I like Chocolate Whey and maybe some skim milk to taste. I've also mixed it with Cytomax. Personal taste, just mix it with something you like and it's fine. I'm on my third large container and don't notice the taste any more. It's a lot better than trying to eat the large amount of veggies you are supposed to eat every day.

My 2 year old son drinks this. It is more easily digestible than cows milk, and my son loves it. I honestly think it's all around better than cows milk!

We like the vanilla and chocolate, and it helps if you like skim or almond milk instead of water. We have also added bananas, strawberries, yogurt, frozen yogurt and ice. I bought the blender (GNC) and it mixes up well.Hope that info helped you out. Trial and error. Good Luck

I've tried it with whole milk and water. Both are good but the one with milk is the winner with my children!!!

The chocolate is rich. I mix it 4 to 1 but that's just me! If I was to get chocolate milk I would mix it too

I have added it to my yogurt smoothies with success. I am super lactose intolerant and can not seem to tolerate any dairy unless it has been treated first. I stirred in about 10 drop (a large container size) and waited a couple days before using it. I had to stir it a few times a day too because it is a lot thicker than say milk or cream.

I never use the chocolate only vanilla I use water or orange juice. Once I used it with milk it did not go to well with me. Hope this help.

I think It's easy to mix. I don't have problems. I mix with a few of water. But you can mix with milk also. To be sure that my seven years daughter drinks everything I use just few water.

I have before, but found it wasn't as filling as milk. I actually use almond milk- which makes it a thicker consistency without using ice in a blender like they suggest.

Chocolate peanut butter is like drinking a *Reeses cup shake. Seriously, amazing (and thats mixed with water! I havn't tried with milk yet.) I've also heard good things about strawberry. Regardless of the flavor you choose, make sure it's extremely cold when you drink it. That always helps.

I am using the chocolate and I mix it with regular flavor almond milk. I have mixed it with skim milk also but think the almond milk is healthier and also enhances the flavor. Good luck. I also have used the Yoli chocolate and find it even better tasting.

My son LOVES the chocolate. I sometimes add plain milk to make it go a little further.
