In honor of National Chocolate Milk Day, we’re sharing a few things that just taste better with chocolate milk! Whether it’s the main ingredient, a clever recipe swap or TruMoo on the side, all of these tasty treats feature TruMoo Chocolate Milk in some way. Let’s check them out!
7 Things That Just Taste Better With TruMoo Chocolate Milk
Pudding Pops: Swap out the regular milk for TruMoo Chocolate Milk when you’re making pudding pops for an added chocolate kick. Try experimenting! For example, vanilla and chocolate together, or banana pudding with chocolate milk. Once you’ve picked your flavor, pour it into some ice pop molds and freeze! Smoothies: Use TruMoo Chocolate milk in your fruit smoothies instead of white milk for a fun “chocolate-covered” flavor! It’s amazing with strawberries and raspberries!
Parfaits: Another fun way to get creative with TruMoo Chocolate Milk and pudding: make parfaits! Cut up pieces of pound cake (either regular or chocolate), add some fruit, some whipped cream and other yummy toppings. I am a huge fan of parfaits because they always look pretty yet don’t require a whole lot of skill to make. I’m not exactly a professional chef here!
Oatmeal: If you use milk in your oatmeal, try switching it up and using TruMoo Chocolate! Obviously, this doesn’t work with every flavor, but it’s perfect for spicing up plain oatmeal. Add a dash of cinnamon for a Mexican Hot Chocolate flavor! You can also throw in some walnuts or sliced almond slivers for extra crunch.
Coffee & Lattes: I love adding TruMoo Chocolate Milk to my coffee for a quick tasty treat in the morning. When I have a little more time, I REALLY love making TruMoo Chocolate Lattes! It’s so easy and a great way to make sure I get more calcium in my diet.
Cakes and cupcakes: If your chocolate cupcake recipe calls for milk, switch it up and use TruMoo Chocolate Milk instead to really punch up the flavor!
Pancakes: Want to take breakfast to whole new levels of yum for National Chocolate Milk Day? Whip up a batch of your favorite homemade pancakes, but use TruMoo Chocolate Milk in place of the regular milk AND toss in a handful of chocolate chips. Serve with a cold glass of TruMoo on the side.
It’s fun to get creative with recipes. Next time you find yourself looking at a dessert recipe that calls for white milk, think to yourself “would this just taste better with TruMoo Chocolate Milk?” If the answer is yes, go for it! If you ask me, I say that TruMoo Chocolate Milk is so nutritious and delicious that everyday should be National Chocolate Milk Day! In our house, it already is! As you can see from the pic above, it goes pretty fast around here! In fact, we polished off one and started on another before I even finished writing this! That’s how dedicated WE are to celebrating National Chocolate Milk Day!
We have made milk shakes with this stuff. I love it!
Oh man, I think making pudding pops with chocolate milk would be a great idea. True Moo would make them taste so chocolately!

Our family loves chocolate milk. TruMoo is delicious on its own and even better mixed in a shake or made into a dessert.
I have never thought to try TruMoo in my pancakes before. It is great in milkshakes. The orange flavor is delicious as well.
I had no idea that there was such a thing as chocolate milk day. My kids love to drink chocolate milk it’s their favorite to have with meals.
We love TruMoo chocolate milk. During the winter months, we heat it up and make a delicious hot chocolate 🙂
I definitely agree with this list! I might have to put some in my coffee tomorrow morning!
Okay, I could use that chocolate marshmallow latte right about now. These all sound delicious. I love TruMoo
That’s a good idea to use chocolate milk instead of white milk in recipes. It would taste awesome in a smoothie.
Ah! I wish we had TruMoo here in Canada. We don’t have it, but it looks so awesome and I am always seeing it online – we need this here!
I would change this from “7 Things” to “Everything”. Chocolate milk is delicious!
I’ve never even thought of substituting chocolate milk for white milk whenever cooking. What a genius idea!
Chocolate should ave it’s own national holiday! I think that we should all have a day off to celebrate all the ways to eat/drink it! I love all the ideas here.
Chocolate milk pancakes sound amazing! I love chocolate chips in pancakes, so this sounds amazing.
I have 3 boys. They drink chocolate milk like there will never be anymore. I never thought to use it in so many different ways.. partly because, it’s gone before i can even think about it!
I am going to pick up some TruMoo when I go to the store. I love chocolate milk.
I have looked for this in the stores and cannot find it! My kids would love it!
TruMoo is my daughter’s favorite milk chocolate drink. It tastes good with nutrients and minerals that kids need everyday.
I think I’d like to try it with pancakes. That does sound inviting and delicious.
i’ve never tried TruMoo.. my kids love chocolate milk! Taste delicious
Chocolate milk pancakes?! I think my girls would go crazy for those. I am curious as to how oatmeal would taste with chocolate milk instead of regular though. We have plain oatmeal so that actually would be great to do a test with.
We are celebrating Chocolate Milk day in my house today :)! TruMoo is my youngest favorite I love how creamy and yummy it is too 🙂
I love chocolate milk so much. It’s so refreshing after a workout too!
