Smilo is a home made Thermomix chocolate powder that is sure to make you and your family happy!
The taste is like a cross between commercial Milo and Cadbury Drinking Chocolate, yet this version contains no additives, preservatives, dairy or grains.
It has been a very popular recipe here on the site for several years now and for good reason.
It works well to make warm or cold chocolate drinks. For a cold choc, simply add 2 tsp to a glass of cold milk. For a warm choc, you can either add boiling water and some milk to 2 tsp of this Thermomix chocolate powder. Alternatively, you can warm the milk and Smilo in your Thermomix to about 60C.
Don’t be put off by the high sugar content, the amount you use in each drink is small!

if we cant get vanilla powder, what would be a good substitute? thanks!
There is a link in the recipe on where to get the powder x
can you possibly let us know what weights we need of cacao powder and coconut sugar? Buying ingredients online and not sure of cup quantities. thankyou!
I keep thinking I must weigh out the ingredients next time I make a batch! Will make sure I do 🙂 It won’t be for a while, though. In the meantime, Pinterest has some great charts, I’m sure there will be one for cup weights of different ingredients.
By my measurements, it’s 120g cacao and 225g coconut sugar. 🙂
Awesome, thank you!
Could you do this with out a Thermie? I do have a good food processor.
I’m sure it would be ok in your food processor 🙂
Mr 7yo LOVED Smilo so much that he gave it two thumbs up with upstretched arms. Mr 9yo thought it was good. They will enjoy it, I’m sure. They have only had the original a handful of times from cricket, as I’ve never bought it. Your recipe will allow me to never, ever buy the original in my life xx
Thanks Bec! Replacing Milo was this week’s goal, I tried out Smilo on my son the last 2 days, once as hot choc and once in his “Up & go”-style smoothie and he loved both, then I told him it wasn’t milo! He said Smilo is better! Thank you
Have made multiple batches of this! The kids have this as a “coffee” with Dad in warm or cold milk. Hubby actually saw me making it the other day in thermie and didnt realise that i had been making it – he just thought id been buying a healthier milo replacement haha Also good to pop a spoon full into a banana smoothie 🙂
This is an awesome recipe 🙂 we finished our first batch last night – making again now! Thank you x
Showed my 10 year old the milo tin ingredient list then showed her your recipe… taste got a big thumbs up…. I’ve now spotted her reading labels and asking if there is a healthier, wholefoods way to make things! Success!
This is fantastic!
triple thumbs up from my three offspring! super super easy too! Thanks Bec 🙂
