While there is a debate about the health and goodness of over the counter chocolate syrups, chocolate milk also packs a number of benefits. Firstly, you are getting all the goodness of milk, and secondly, you (or your kids) won’t crib about finishing your glass of milk as chocolate milk is tastes like heaven. If you opt for dark chocolate, then the ‘healthiness’ of your chocolate milk combo will shoot up.
