Dairy-Free Chocolate Milk

In our humble opinion, those little cartons of chocolate milk at lunch time were one of *the best* things about elementary school. As a kid, that was 8-12oz of pure bliss that took any soggy, ambiguous cafeteria meal to the next level. As an adult, it sounds more like a blood sugar "crash and burn" waiting to happen. 

Well, good news—it’s time for chocolate milk to grow up, and all it takes is a little JOI. Our chocolate milk made with JOI 100% almond or cashew nutbase and unsweetened cocoa powder is vegan, refined sugar free, completely customizable, and guaranteed to drum up guilt-free childhood nostalgia. And, with a healthy blend of plant-based fiber, protein, and healthy fat, it’s also an outstanding addition to your post-workout recovery routine.
