Frequently Asked Questions
Is this drinking chocolate safe for my child to drink regularly without added sugar?
Yes. It contains no added sugar and is sweetened with monk fruit and erythritol, so it is safe for regular use as part of a family breakfast or lunchbox routine.
Will my picky kid actually like the taste of this sugar-free cocoa mix?
Yes. Reviewers consistently say it tastes as good as or better than Nestle Quick, so most kids who already love chocolate milk will enjoy it just as much.
Can I send this in a lunchbox as a cold chocolate milk my kid can shake up at school?
Yes. It mixes easily with cold almond or dairy milk and can be pre-shaken in a thermos or bottle for a lunchbox treat that holds up well until lunchtime.
Is this cocoa mix safe for a child with gluten intolerance or celiac disease?
Yes. It is gluten-free and contains no wheat-based ingredients, making it safe for children with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
Does this mix dissolve easily in cold milk so my kids don't end up with clumps?
Yes. The powder is finely milled and dissolves completely in cold milk with a quick shake or stir, so children get a smooth, lump-free chocolate milk.
Can my whole family share this single product, including my diabetic spouse and my kids?
Yes. It is designed as a shared household staple: kid-approved in taste, diabetic-friendly with 1g net carb, and free from added sugar so the whole family can enjoy the same mix.
Is this a good option for a school-safe afternoon treat that won't cause a sugar crash?
Yes. With zero glycemic impact and no added sugar, it avoids the typical sugar crash kids get from regular hot cocoa mixes, making it ideal after school or before homework.
How does this compare to Nesquik or regular chocolate syrup for my kids?
Unlike Nesquik and most chocolate syrups, which are loaded with added sugar, Lakanto Drinking Chocolate has only 1g net carb per serving and is sweetened with monk fruit, so it satisfies the chocolate craving without the sugar.
Can I use this for weekend pancakes, baking, or mug cakes with my kids?
Yes. It works well as a low-carb baking ingredient in keto mug cakes, brownies, and pancake recipes, so you can involve kids in weekend baking without adding sugar.
Will my child still feel full and satisfied after a cup of this sugar-free cocoa?
Yes. The Dutch cocoa delivers a rich, strong chocolate taste, and when mixed with milk or a milk alternative, it provides a satisfying, creamy drink that holds children over between meals.
Is the packaging safe and easy for an adult to store away from kids?
Yes. The resealable pouch is simple to open for an adult and can be sealed and stored in a pantry or cabinet out of children's reach between uses.
Will my child with a sensitive stomach react poorly to the probiotics in this mix?
Most children tolerate it well, but if your child has a sensitive stomach, start with half a serving to assess tolerance before increasing to a full scoop.
Is this drinking chocolate a better afternoon drink than juice or soda for my kids?
Yes. It offers the chocolate flavor kids crave with only 1g net carb and no added sugar, making it a far better alternative to juice, soda, or sugary chocolate drinks.
How do I prepare a hot cup of Lakanto Drinking Chocolate?
Add one scoop of the powder to 8 ounces of hot milk or your favorite plant-based milk, then stir until fully dissolved. It mixes completely with no clumps, and you can adjust the sweetness or thickness by adding more or less liquid to taste.
Can I make a cold chocolate milk version for an afternoon treat?
Yes. Add one scoop to a glass of cold almond, dairy, oat, or coconut milk and shake or stir briskly. For a blended version, combine one scoop, ice, and milk in a blender for a smooth, frosty chocolate milk.
How do I use this in low-carb baking and recipes?
Fold one to two scoops into keto mug cake, brownie, or protein shake recipes as a direct replacement for sweetened cocoa powder. It works well in any recipe that calls for chocolate flavor without added sugar.
Does it work with non-dairy milks like almond, oat, and coconut milk?
Yes. It dissolves well in almond, oat, coconut, and other plant-based milks, both hot and cold, making it a versatile option for dairy-free households.
Can I use this with a Keurig or single-serve coffee machine?
Yes. Many customers prepare it by adding a scoop to a Keurig-filled mug of hot water or by mixing it directly with brewed coffee to make a low-carb mocha.
What comes in the pouch when I order it, and do I need anything else to prepare it?
Each order includes a 10 oz resealable pouch of Lakanto Sugar Free Drinking Chocolate, which contains 26 servings. To prepare it, you only need a mug, a spoon, and your choice of milk or water; no additional ingredients or equipment are required.
Is this product safe for long-term daily use?
Yes. It is made with non-GMO monk fruit sweetener, Dutch cocoa, and shelf-stable probiotics, with no added sugar, and is suitable for daily long-term use as part of a low-carb, keto, vegan, or diabetic-friendly lifestyle.
Will the monk fruit sweetener cause digestive discomfort with regular use?
Most people tolerate it well. Erythritol and monk fruit are generally easier on the digestive system than other sugar alcohols, but if you have a sensitive stomach, start with half a serving and increase gradually.
What is the difference between drinking chocolate and regular hot cocoa mix?
Drinking chocolate is typically made with real cocoa or couverture and delivers a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, while regular hot cocoa mixes are often lighter and rely heavily on added sugar. Lakanto's version is a true drinking chocolate sweetened with monk fruit, giving you the rich taste without the sugar load of standard cocoa mixes.
