Can it be mixed with milk?
Can it be mixed with milk?
The CocoaVia Cardio Health Powder can likely be mixed with milk. The product page doesn't specifically mention milk as a mixing option but the directions suggest adding it to coffea oatmeal smoothies or protein shakes — all of which can be milk-based.
Since the product contains no dairy ingredients (confirmed by the manufacturer) mixing with milk shouldn't cause any ingredient conflicts. However some customers do note that it can be harder to dissolve in cold liquids, so warm milk may work better than cold.
If you have specific dietary concerns I'd recommend verifying with the manufacturer before use.
