Healthier version of chocolate milk

[freemotion]

From my journal:

Here is how I made the chocolate milk....I heated up a little water, stirred in a couple of spoonfuls of Hershey's baking cocoa, a tiny pinch of sea salt, and three squirts of stevia extract. I stirred, stirred, stirred, then added cold goat's milk, not shaking the bottle so I would get a little extra cream. I used a pint of milk, and added a little homemade vanilla extract. Mmmmmmm.......

Thanks for the recipe.

I have read many of your food journal entries, FM and the same question runs through my mind each time.
You mention that you enjoy warm chocolate goats milk most every morning.
Is that because you don't care for goats milk plain?
I had a small herd of 6 milking goats in the past and didn't care for it plain, liked the cheese, tho. Just wondered.

I used to only drink plain milk with something very sweet, and I no longer eat very sweet things, so the chocolate milk is a nice choice. Now I am thirsty for some again!

Out of curiosity, what type of goat is your milk from? Our goat's milk is from a Saanen and my kids say that it's rather sweet and will have it with a bit of homemade vanilla extract and freshly grated nutmeg, but won't drink it with raw cocoa powder and raw honey which is what I add to coconut milk or the jersey/guersney milk for their chocolate milk. They saw that the goat milk is too sweet as chocolate milk. We're planning to get goats next year so I've been researching which breed to get and have discovered how much sweetness and butterfat and protein content varies from breed to breed. Right now I'm thinking we'll get either LaManchas or Nigerian Dwarf goats. TIA!!
