National Chocolate Milk Day 2026

    Chocolate Milk Prep
In earlier times I refrained from a lot of the chocolate in my life due to it's propensity for causing acne on my face.

Now then, I realize that dermatologists "claim" that chocolate consumption does not cause acne at all. I contest this notion and call them on it.

Only recenly did I stop getting acne from the consumption of chocolate.

I drink almond milk with my chocolate but I do not feel it is the cause of the lack of acne afterward.

Today is National Chocolate Milk Day.

It is observed each September 27th.

It is one of those fun food holiday dedicated to enjoying a cold or warm glass of chocolate milk.

It was invented by one Irish physician named Sir Hans Sloane. He invented a milk and cocoa mixture in Jamaica during the late 1680s. He returned to England, where apothecaries first sold it as a medicine before it became a popular sweet treat.

So on this day you should feel free to pour a tall, cold glass of store-bought or homemade chocolate milk.

You may mix cocoa powder or chocolate syrup into regular dairy or plant-based milk

Use chocolate milk as a tasty ingredient in pancake batter, oatmeal, or post-workout shakes.

Me, I have a glass every so often and now I enjoy it more since I no longer suffer a faceful of zits afterward.

I suppose getting older isn't ALL bad.

Happy National Chocolate Milk Day to you !
