Kids and adults find this dairy-free chocolate milk delicious. Most people like to drink it in the morning, but when you're craving something sweet at night this is the perfect snack.
It's great anytime of the day, but for nighttime purposes you'll find the cacao relaxes you.
I like to sweeten mine with banana, which is a rich sources of tryptophan, which converts to serotonin and melatonin, the brain’s key calming hormones that promote healthy sleep.
You can use just use dates, honey or berries to sweeten it. Whatever you prefer!
I also like using goji berries to sweeten it, similar to this one.
This is so much better for you than any of the chocolate milk you'll find at the grocery. Whip this up instead of reaching for the processed sweets! Your body will thank you!
This is my favorite recipe for making homemade nut milk.

You don't mention ice in the ingredient list. What is the number of cubes you use to keep it from becoming a smoothie?
It's whatever consistency you like. I'd say start with 1/2 cup and see what you think.
