Easy Flavored Milk (Using Pudding or Jello Mix!)

Make your own flavored milk at home with this easy recipe using pudding or Jello mix. Fun, budget-friendly, and perfect for kids’ snacks!

This fun and simple flavored milk recipe was inspired by a preschool field trip I took with my son to a local dairy farm. While we were there, they served us cold milk in 12 different flavors! Naturally, I had to try them all—strictly for research purposes, of course.

I ended up buying a few jars of the powdered flavor mixes to take home. But after spending $4.99 on a tiny jar, I took a closer look at the ingredients… and had a lightbulb moment. The pricey powder I bought? It was basically pudding mix.

I felt a little duped—but mostly inspired.

Now I can make my own flavored milk in any flavor I want, any time I want. Take that, overpriced dairy farm!

How to Make Flavored Milk at Home

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. cold milk
• 1–3 teaspoons of any flavor instant pudding mix or Jello powder

Flavors We Love:
Banana Cream, Butterscotch, Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach, Pistachio, and French Vanilla (French Vanilla is my personal favorite—SO good!)

Directions:

1. Pour the milk into a cup or blender.
2. Add 1–3 teaspoons of the pudding or Jello mix.
3. Whisk or blend until well mixed.
4. Sip and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Flavored Milk:

• Start with 1 teaspoon of mix and add more if you want a stronger flavor. Some brands are more intense than others.
• Pudding mixes tend to blend smoother. If you’re using Jello powder, it can create a thick froth—fun for some, not for all.
• I use a single-serve blender when making mine. It works great for pudding-based flavors, but if you’re not into the foam, skip the blender for Jello flavors.
• This makes a perfect afternoon snack for the kids (especially paired with cookies!).
