I don’t know about you, but I grew up drinking chocolate milk. It was almost a treat that my parents would give me. There is something very comforting about chocolate milk.
it was something I used to get as an adult to have a reminder of my childhood.
However, when I became vegan, obviously, the main ingredient is dairy milk, so I was unable to keep buying it, or even making it.
But, I didn’t have to think hard about how I can make it vegan. The method is very straightforward, you need 2 main ingredients really:
- Milk
- Chocolate
And potentially a few more, but essentially, these are the 2 main ingredients.
