For all the chocolate lovers out there, one product has taken the spotlight: Mr Beast Chocolate Milk. It’s rich, creamy, and made with top-quality ingredients, but what if you could bring that same magic into your own kitchen?
How to make Mr Beast Chocolate Milk
MrBeast Chocolate Milk is a milk chocolate bar from MrBeast’s Feastables brand. It’s not a drink — the “chocolate milk” name comes from its creamy, sweet milk-and-chocolate flavor, made with cocoa, milk powder, sugar, and other simple ingredients.

Tips for the Perfect MrBeast Chocolate Milk
- Choosing Quality Ingredients: MrBeast emphasizes quality in all his products, so opt for organic milk, Fairtrade cocoa, or natural sweeteners if you can. These simple upgrades will take your homemade drink to the next level.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to tweak the amount of sweetener to suit your taste. For a healthier version, you could use honey or stevia instead of sugar.
- Chilling the Milk: If you prefer cold chocolate milk, let the prepared drink come to room temperature and chill it in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
- Make It Extra Creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream if you want to replicate the luxurious, super-thick texture of MrBeast’s bottled chocolate milk.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder for a unique twist on the classic chocolate milk recipe.

Ingredients Substitutes
Recreating MrBeast Chocolate Milk at home is a fun adventure, but not everyone has access to the exact ingredients or might prefer healthier, budget-friendly, or allergy-friendly alternatives. The good news? You can easily swap out ingredients without sacrificing taste or texture!
1. Milk Substitutes
The foundation of chocolate milk is the dairy, but there are plenty of non-dairy and dietary-friendly options to meet your needs.
Substitutes for Whole Milk:
Plant-Based Milk:
- Oat Milk: Creamy and neutral in flavor, oat milk mimics the richness of whole milk beautifully.
- Almond Milk: Slightly nutty but pairs well with chocolate; ideal for those seeking a lighter option.
- Soy Milk: High in protein and creamy, this works well for chocolate milk recipes.
- Coconut Milk: Adds a tropical note and extra creaminess for a unique twist.
Low-Fat Dairy Milk:
If you want a lighter option while still keeping it dairy-based, substitute whole milk with 2% milk or skim milk.
- Evaporated Milk: For ultra-rich chocolate milk, combine evaporated milk with an equal part of water.
2. Cocoa Powder Substitutes
Cocoa powder gives chocolate milk its signature flavor, but there are alternatives if you’re out of the store-bought kind or want to change things up.
Substitutes for Cocoa Powder:
Chocolate Bars or Chips:
- Melt 3 tablespoons of dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips into the milk. This will create a creamier, richer drink.
- MrBeast Feastables Chocolate Bars: If you want to stay authentic, chop and melt one of MrBeast’s chocolate bars for premium flavor.
- Carob Powder: A caffeine-free, natural alternative to cocoa powder with a nutty, slightly chocolatey taste.
- Raw Cacao Powder: Offers a less processed, intense chocolate flavor with added health benefits.
3. Sweetener Substitutes
The type of sweetener you use can significantly impact the flavor and health profile of your chocolate milk.
Substitutes for Maple Syrup or Sugar:
- Honey: Adds natural sweetness and a subtle floral note to the chocolate milk.
- Agave Syrup: A vegan-friendly option that’s sweeter than sugar, so adjust quantities accordingly.
- Date Syrup or Pureed Dates: Perfect for a natural, fiber-rich sweetener that complements chocolate flavors.
- Stevia or Monk Fruit Sweetener: Ideal for a lower-calorie option while preserving sweetness.
- Brown Sugar: Adds a deeper caramel-like flavor to your chocolate milk.
4. Vanilla Extract Substitutes
Vanilla extract adds depth and warmth to chocolate milk, but there are ways to achieve similar effects with other ingredients.
Substitutes for Vanilla Extract:
- Vanilla Bean Paste: For an elegant touch, scrape vanilla bean paste directly into the milk—ideal for visual appeal and intense vanilla flavor.
- Almond Extract: A stronger, nuttier alternative to vanilla, adding complexity to the drink. (Use sparingly!)
- Cinnamon or Nutmeg: These warm spices can replace vanilla extract to give a cozy, aromatic twist to your chocolate milk.
- Flavored Coffee Creamers: If you’re feeling adventurous, try a vanilla-flavored coffee creamer for a richer texture and flavor boost.
5. Salt Substitutes
Salt plays a vital role in balancing sweetness and intensifying chocolate flavor, but there are some alternatives.
Substitutes for Salt:
- Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt: These salts offer a cleaner, slightly minerally flavor compared to regular table salt.
- Miso Paste: Add a tiny pinch of white miso paste to the milk for a savory umami boost (trust the process!).
6. Protein Powder Substitutes
Sometimes, adding a protein punch to your chocolate milk is the goal, but you don’t need whey protein powder specifically to get this upgrade.
Substitutes for Protein Powder:
- Peanut Butter Powder: For a nutty, protein-rich addition that tastes incredible with chocolate milk.
- Greek Yogurt: Blend 2-3 tablespoons into the milk for creaminess and added protein.
- Chia Seeds: Mix into the milk for plant-based protein and bonus nutrients.
7. Cream Substitutes (Optional Addition)
Cream is sometimes added for extra richness, especially if you want a “gourmet” chocolate milk texture.
Substitutes for Heavy Cream:
- Coconut Cream: Adds both richness and a subtle coconut flavor.
- Cashew or Almond Cream: For a creamy, dairy-free alternative that’s mild in flavor and complements chocolate well.
- Evaporated Milk: Mix an equal part of evaporated milk with your recipe to simplify the process while maintaining richness.
Final Thoughts
With these substitutions, you can tweak your homemade MrBeast Chocolate Milk recipe to perfectly match your dietary needs, ingredient availability, or flavor preferences!
