Effortless Chocolate Milk for Busy Moms: Quick-Stir Pitcher Idea

[jenniferlynne]

I just had an idea slap me upside the head. I have 4 kids at my house during the day (only one is mine) and some days I feel like all I do is make chocolate milk. Some one will bring me their sippy cup, I will mix it up and as soon as I turn around there is another sippy cup being shoved at me. As I was mixing my 10th cup of the day and staring dreamily at the back of the Nesquik container (I buy the big 3 pound canister of it), I noticed where it said you could make a gallon of it by adding 2 cups of Quik. I was like "Oh my gosh, I never thought of making it up ahead of time. I can make a gallon of it in the family size Quick-Stir Pitcher and just pump the handle a few times to mix it up when someone wants a drink!!

I'm sure some of you all out there has probably already thought of this, but I'm a little slow sometimes.

Chocolate & strawberry milkI've got one of the normal QSP (white lid) that I make my daughter's chocolate milk in and one of the ones from May (pink lid) that I make my son's strawberry milk in. They prefer flavored milk and as long as they're getting milk, I'm happy! It's wonderful!

Haha, I can totally relate to this! I have two kids and sometimes it feels like all I do is make snacks and drinks for them. I never thought about making a big batch of chocolate milk ahead of time, but that's such a great idea! It'll save so much time and effort. And the Quick-Stir Pitcher is a game changer, I definitely need to invest in one of those. Thanks for sharing your "aha" moment, I'm sure it will be a lifesaver for many busy parents out there!
