Make food storage a special TREAT for your kids! (Yes, you read that correctly!!) Powdered milk makes EXCELLENT chocolate milk or milkshakes using NO ice cream and there is no hint of the powdered milk! Finally, a healthy-ER approach to milk shakes and chocolate milk that will save you money and help you rotate your powdered milk! Thanks to Michelle who told me about this tip from http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/magicmilkshakes.htm. It is so good!!
Chocolate Milk made with Powdered Milk:
I use Nesquik mix. It has less sugar than other leading brands and adds in more calcium. If you are already drinking powdered milk and have some chilled in the fridge, then just follow the directions on the package for mixing it with milk. If you aren’t drinking powdered milk, you’ll want to mix this in a juice pitcher since it needs to be chilled and you’ll want to give it a quick mix before you serve it.
One Quart Measurements (Most juice pitchers are one quart)
One Quart Water
3/4 C. Dry Powdered Milk
1/2 C. Nesquik (other chocolate flavorings may be different-to figure out how much you’ll need, remember there are 32 ounces in a quart which means there are 4 eight ounce cups in a quart. Most directions will tell you how much to add based on one 8 ounce glass, so multiply that amount by 4 for the total amount you’ll need of your chocolate flavoring)
Mix dry ingredients together (this makes it dissolve much easier and faster) and mix into water. Let chill for 4-6 hours.
Chocolate Milk Shake with NO ice cream:-makes two 8-ounce cups
This one I know is hard to believe but it SO delicious! I don’t think I’ll ever make the kind with ice cream again!
1/2 C. Water
3/4 C. Dry Powdered Milk
1/3 C. Chocolate Powder
2 C. Ice
Layer ingredients in your blender as listed and blend until smooth. Serve immediately! Spruce it up with half of a banana for fun!
If you want a great variation, that tastes like it is a Jamba Juice “Peanut Butter Moo’d” then add one banana cut into 1 inch slices and 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter. The peanut butter and banana make it even smoother and add such a great complimentary taste.
Well just writing about this has made me crave another one…so…yeah…I’m going to go make myself one. ENJOY!!

Crystal, I am LOVING your blog…
Money got tight, & I asked my friends for Food Storage recipes (I have it, but don't know how to use it :o) since I couldn't buy food for a while.
Someone mentioned your blog, & I have been reading it for 3 days solid…
My hubby came home & said "What is this Magic stuff in the fridge" he came it to talk & I happened to still be on that page on your blog & he said "Oh, wow, you even copied her label… 🙂 "
*** Is it hard to make yogurt, &/or sour cream or cream cheese with powdered milk?***

I have a question about the kind of powered milk you use. I notice you use a lot of Morning Moo’s brand products and I am wondering if the milk alternative will work the same? Keep blogging cause I love reading it! Thanks, Monica
P.S. I live in Utah also, Can I ask where you are at??

I came down to get your pizza pocket recipe and saw this new post of Chocolate Milk Skake. E. and I had it for lunch. Yummo!!! I used the food storage chocolate cocoa mix. It was great. I can’t wait to make some for my husband. It would be a great treat to have the neighbors over for, or for FHE!!! Thanks for sharing. Oh and by the way, the pizza pockets turned out much better than I thought. I doubled my batch and made 12 pizzas, so I can freeze a lot of them. My husband will be glad to have something new for lunch.

We make these often, so much so that I printed off the recipes for chocolate and vanilla shakes for my ds to make on his own.

Lis,
It isn’t too hard to make your own yogurt and sour cream substitute out of powdered milk. If you email me, I can email you some great instructions that were given to me. Thanks!

Monica,
I do not use the milk alternative from Morning Moos. If you use the morning moos in this milk shake, my guess would be that you don’t need to add the oil or the squirt of non-stick spray since it has shortening in it already (the main reason why I don’t use it). If you want more information on the differences between powdered milk and the milk alternative go here: http://everydayfoodstorage.blogspot.com/2008/05/faqs-about-milk.html. Thanks!

Oh…Monica…I forgot to answer your question. I didn’t spray it with the spray (I forgot actually) and I liked the texture just fine. And I live in Utah County. Thanks for visiting!

thanks for all the fun ideas! On the chocolate milk shake, when you say “chocolate powder”, are you referring again to Nesquik, or can you use regular cocoa? I'm assuming regular baking cocoa is not what you intended. Someone else mentioned “food storage chocolate cocoa mix”, so I'm wondering what that is also. thanks
Nesquik
