Chocolate Milk Is the Official Drink of Halloween: From Our Partner

Sponsored Chocolate Milk Is the Official Drink of Halloween! We loved Halloween when we were kids. We still love it as adults—we enjoy the costumes, the sense of community, and the excitement that are hallmarks of the holiday—but we could do without all the candy, the sugar rush, and the crash that inevitably follows. It's not just us: Teachers have observed that the day after Halloween is one of the most challenging of the year, as they have to try to get students to focus while the kids are still battling sugar hangovers. In an effort to balance our roles as responsible adults with our desire to embrace the sweet heart of the holiday, we've come up with ways to give our little ones treats that happen to also be nutritious. And our secret weapon is chocolate milk. For better mornings (and evenings, too!), try these two chocolate milk recipes. A little sweet and a little spooky, they'll be a hit with the whole family.   Chocolate Milk and Banana Smoothie Get the Recipe Here   Chocolate Milk Overnight Oats Get the Recipe Here     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232 Preferences  |  Unsubscribe
