Does chocolate almond milk taste good in coffee?

Adding chocolate almond milk to coffee can definitely work as the sweetness of the chocolate complements the taste of the brewed coffee.

Making frothed almond milk requires slightly higher heat and attention to the almond milk’s freshness, temperature, protein content, and fat content. These factors can help achieve the perfect froth for almond milk lovers.

How do you add chocolate to coffee?

Is chocolate almond milk healthy?

Silk’s Dark Chocolate Almondmilk makes for an excellent dairy-free option that abstains from any traces of lactose, gluten, soy, casein, egg, or MSG.
