Whenever we are out and about running errands, I’ll often swing by a coffee shop to grab my staple – a piping hot black Americano. I absolutely love my coffee, but I get so sad when it’s freezing out (sub-zero temps are often the norm up here in the winter) and the girls can’t enjoy something warm to drink and wrap their little cold hands around, too. Coffee shops don’t normally cater to gluten-free, {cow’s milk} dairy-free and soy-free patrons. I created this Hot Chocolate Mix with Powdered Goat Milk, so when we are out running around, I can make my girl’s a cup of hot chocolate anywhere; I keep some of it in my purse. I only need a cup, hot water, and a stirring stick to make it, which all coffee shops are happy to provide (with or without a small fee). 😉
This mix would also be a lovely Christmas gift for the cow’s milk dairy-free individual in your life. Can you believe there’s only 8 more Fridays left until Christmas?! Crazy! Have you already started your Christmas shopping?
All my love,
Megan
Goat's milk isn't for everyone. If you don't enjoy goat's milk, you will not like this mix. For an even richer cup of hot chocolate, combine this mix with your favorite dairy-free milk, instead of water.

Thank you! We are going to attempt to make hot chocolate bombs for Valentine’s Day. I have the powered goats milk (he is allergic to cows milk and enjoys goats) and I purchased a safe hot coco powered mix (Swiss Miss). Do you have any tips for putting the goat’s milk over a safe chocolate (enjoy life) bomb? Thanks again!

Hi Bridget, You're very welcome, but I'm not sure I'm understanding your question? While I'm familiar with what hot chocolate bombs are, I've never had one or made them.

I used your recipe added to heated almond milk. I only added about 2 tablespoons. I thought it tasted like regular hot cocoa! Thank you!

My teen daughter gives this recipe 2 thumbs up and says it tastes “more real” than store bought mixes. She’s a goat milk girl all the way and gets severe acne and bloating when she “cheats” with cow products and don’t even consider giving her store bought milk! She was so happy that I found a way to allow her to enjoy a favorite treat with her siblings without regrets later. Thank you SO much from an Alaska girl in the Pacific NW! I look forward to exploring your site and other recipes!

Do you know what the shelf life of this would be?

Well, I've had mine in my cupboard for nearly a year and I'd still use it.... I think it would depend on when the powdered goat milk expired.

Hmm... I love goats milk, but I've never had it powdered.
