Liquid Nutella.
Who wouldn’t want to drink a thick glass of Nutella?
Drink it, eat it, bathe in it… okay, maybe not the last one. Then again, perhaps a Nutella bath could be fun. I wonder if they sell such a thing as Nutella bubble bath. They should. I’d buy it.
In bulk.
Chocolate Nutella Milk
- 1/2 cup roasted or raw hazelnuts (Other nuts will work too.)
- 2 tsp cocoa or cacao powder
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 1/4 plus 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1Â cup water or milk of choice, or more if a thinner drink is desired. This also gets much thicker as it sits in the fridge
- sweetener–such as stevia, sugar, maple syrup, or even a banana–to taste
Optional: roast hazelnuts 6-8 minutes at 400F. In a bowl, soak the nuts in water for at least 8 hours (or overnight), then drain. I didn’t bother to skin, but you can if desired. Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender (like a Vita-Mix), and blend thoroughly until super-smooth. If you have cheesecloth, I highly recommend pouring the milk through a sieve lined with cheesecloth. But if you don’t mind a gritty-textured drink, you can skip this step. Before serving, it’s best to fridge until chilled, as it will be hot from blending. This will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to 4 days.

……Homemade Healthy Nutella
Sounds delicious! I’ve done something similar with pb2 and cocoa powder – it’s like a Reese’s pb cup only so much better fo you! 🙂
Soooo smart! I should give the Reese’s PB cup one a try!
I usually drink unsweetened coconut milk, but have been doing some experimenting lately with sunflower seed milk…delish!
Oh, my, gosh. You’re killing me with these yummy recipes! Looks great!
I love Silk but never have it- they don’t sell it at any grocery store close to me– so, I’m out of luck!
THANK YOU!!!
I love your lower-calorie recipes for me, because I’m tryin to lose that baby weight ;).
But my older boy is like a human walking stick, and he doesn’t seem to put on weight and it’s a struggle to get him to take in enough calories in a healthy way. Somehow, I think Nutella in a glass won’t be too hard to convince him to drink! I really appreciate how you mix it up with your recipes, offering something for everyone. Everyone in my household, anyway!
Oh, and that photo of you is just gorgeous. 🙂
You come up with the best ideas, Katie. I think I’ll try this with almonds, for a chocolate almond milk. I just need to find some cheesecloth.
Also, I made your skinny vanilla cupcakes yesterday, with a few added chocolate chips, and they rocked my world!
Hey do you think you could sub the cocoa powder and hazelnuts with your homemade nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread and just blend it with milk?
It sounds good… But really, I can’t say how something will actually taste unless I’ve tried it ;).
Yummy! Do u use unsweetened cocoa Powder? Thx
Yes, but hot cocoa mix (i.e. sweetened cocoa powder) would be great as well!
I LOVE hazelnut milk. I prefer it to almond milk because it’s creamier and naturally a little sweeter. It would be great for this recipe! I have only found hazelnut milk at my farmers market, but I can’t say I’ve looked in health food stores.
This looks delicious! If you get the time, I think it would be awesome if you came up with a recipe for a delicious post-workout protein drink/shake. Vegan protein powders are awfully expensive!
