"Chocolate Milk"

[WildIris 4]

I stumbled onto this one by accident. I've always had a weakness for chocolate milk. Not so much hot cocoa, just nice rich creamy chocolate milk. Hadn't had any in ages and ages, and figured I'd never get any again. Then I started drinking low-fat soy milk in my Protein Shakes and discovered that the unflavored, unsweetened soy makes for a REALLY rich-tasting Protein Drink, along with the sugar-free syrups that you can put in coffee and so forth. And, I discovered this flavor called Chocolate Macadamia Nut (the brand is Pasano, and it's sold by some place on the west side of Washington state, I think). I am SO not kidding, this combination of soy milk and sugar-free Syrup fools MY tastebuds into thinking it's good ol' chocolate milk, and an eight-ounce serving is 50 calories and 2 sugars/carbs. I can indulge my weakness to my heart's content now, and never feel a shred of guilt again in my life!

Better yet, just today, I found almond milk at Walmart that's unsweetened and unflavored, and it's only 35 calories for an 8-ounce serving, 1 gram of carb, and NO sugars at all. Not as much Protein as the soy milk, but since I generally am consuming it with my Protein shake, it's more or less irrelevant.

Ahem. I'm sure you can all tell that I'm wildly enthusiastic about all this, by now...

Anyway, hope someone else enjoys 'chocolate milk' as much as I do.

When I have a few extra carbs to play with, and need a little extra Protein, I pick up little jugs of Nesquik 100 calorie chocolate milk. 8 ounces, 8g Protein, 13carbs, 2g fat.

chocolate milk is my one pre-surgery obsession that I've allowed to stay because it usually fits in my daily limits, gives me some protein and satisfies any sweet cravings that might crop up. I've also read that it is a good post-workout food. Thank you Prevention Magazine for that little bit of rationalization.

Have you tried Hood Calorie/Carb countdown chocolate milk? I think that 8oz is 90 calories and 5 gr of carbs....

I use the regular 2% usually....sometimes the fat free (only 45 calories)....it is so good and creamy

Ifound unsweetened chocolate Almond Milk @ Safeway. It's pretty good just add some sugarfree flavored Syrup, Carmel was good with it. I add unflavored Protein powder and carmel flavoring it was good.
