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!

Wow!!! This is incredible!! The whole family loves it. It will be a staple in our pantry. I think I might make it for Xmas gifts too.
My kids don’t even like Milo. Smilo, on the other hand, is a double thumbs up 🙂
I just can’t get warm today and I was driving along thinking oh how nice a Milo would be but I don’t buy that any more then my lightbulb moment came “SMILO”. All I can say is “wow”! It hits the spot perfectly and so much better as I know exactly what is in it. Thank you!
I just made this after finding the milo tin empty and wanting to give the kids a healthier alternative! Testing on myself as chief tester is at school. Yum. Had to make some vanilla powder first too.
Mr 5 helped me and he has given this his tick of approval. Winning!! Thanks 🙂
I usually use cocoa, coconut cream, hot water and some honey to make Choc milk or hot chocolate. I have cacao in my pantry that hasn’t been used much at all, and have been drinking Ozechoc this past month or so as hubby came home with it, so I’ve used it. I kept the jar so I could make Smilo in it, and now wish I’d not written the recipe and instructions on the jar as noone else would notice it’s not Ozechoc otherwise. Fabulous and simple recipe! Very yummy taste!
I just saw this exact recipe and comments on someone’s Facebook page.
Which Facebook page was it please?
I made this today. Was worried my kids wouldn’t drink it. They LOVED it and asked for MORE. We have had it hot and cold…divine! Thanks for a quick delicious recipe. 🙂
Kids love love love this! Used it in frappes for an extra special treat 🙂
Just made your Smilo and got the thumbs up from my son! Much healthier than milo!
