ChocoMilk

Whenever my sister sees ChocoMilk, she texts me about how much the little boy looks like my husband. And while the dark hair, brown eyes, round head, and goofy smile are a dead-on cartoon match, what's inside is even more enjoyable.

Basically Mexican Nesquik, ChocoMilk (pronounced choco-mil) is the favorite brand of powdered chocolate mix south of the border. While chocolate milk is delicious anyway you mix it, here, it's almost always done smoothie style, with ice and in a blender, which makes for an extra frothy, cold and refreshing drink.

Though awesome just plain, I've been told bananas and nutella are also popular mix-ins.

Ingredients
2 heaping Tbsp. ChocoMilk (or any powdered chocolate drink)
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 ice cubes
1/2 Tbsp. sugar

Directions

1 - Put milk, ice, ChocoMilk, and sugar into the blender.

2 - Blend on high speed about 2 minutes, until you no longer hear ice chunking in the blades.

3 - Serve immediately.
