September 27th is National Chocolate Milk Day!

Today’ Food Fact:

Chocolate milk is a sweetened, usually cold, cocoa-flavored milk drink. It is created when chocolate syrup (or chocolate powder) is mixed with milk (from cows, goats, soy, rice, etc).
It can be purchased pre-mixed or made at home with either cocoa powder and a sweetener (such as sugar or a sugar substitute), or with melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, or chocolate milk mix.
Other ingredients, such as starch, salt, carrageenan, vanilla, or artificial flavoring may be added.
Chocolate milk should always be refrigerated like plain milk.
Blending the two flavors (milk and chocolate), hence the name of the mixed drink..
