I’ve created a chocolate “milk” monster!  Emma will gladly drink a glass of plain rice milk, but she looovves chocolate “milk.”  I spotted this at Whole Foods today and decided to give it a try.  While I adore flax seeds in just about anything (smoothies, baked goods, pancakes & waffles), Emma is a little more picky.  Anyway, I liked that this hemp milk has Omega 3 & 6 in it, as well as calcium and vitamins and such.

I’ve never had hemp milk before and was kinda excited to try it.  I gave it a little taste test before I gave Emma her cup and thought it was okay.  It’s not disgusting, but there is something a little strange about it that I just can’t quite pinpoint.  The milk itself is not super sweet and the chocolate flavor is pretty subtle.  And as the package says, it is really creamy and thick.  I bet it would make a delicious shake or smoothie.

So how does the kiddo like it?  Do you even need to ask!  She loves it, of course.  Since we do eat tofu and edamame pretty regularly, I like to limit the amount of other soy products we include in our diet, including soy milk.  As far as chocolate “milk” goes, I think we’ve found a winner.  For all other “milk,” we’ll stick with rice.
