Nestle, Nesquik Chocolate Drink Mix, 2.81 lbs

This chocolate drink mix is made primarily with sugar, which provides sweetness and quick dissolvability. The chocolate flavor comes from cocoa, processed with alkali to create a smooth, mellow cocoa taste. A small amount of soy lecithin is included to help the powder blend evenly when mixed with milk. Salt is added to balance sweetness, along with natural flavor to round out the chocolate profile. The mix contains no dairy ingredients on its own and is designed to be combined with milk for preparation.
