This is a fabulous, healthy alternative to Milo. The texture is exactly like Milo, with a very fine crunch. It is a much lighter brown, and has a deeper chocolate flavour so may need a little more/less than original milo usage. Can also be used to flavour custard, adding great nutritional value as well. Sprinkle over butter on toast for a sweet treat, or add to pancake mixture, or muffin batter. It can also be sprinkled over CADA, fruit, homemade ice-cream, especially delicious over coconut icecream, blended into a green smoothy. It is all up to the imagination as to what you do with this wonderful homemade Milo.
Place linseeds and sesame seeds into the thermomix and grind for 20 seconds on speed 9.
Place all other ingredients except for the rapadura sugar into the TM bowl and blend for 7 seconds on speed 9 - do not blend too far as you do not want a paste.
Add rapadura sugar and mix thoroughly on speed 7 for 4 seconds.
Use exactly like milo. This recipe fills a 450g Milo tin so it does make a lot. Keep in the fridge for about 2-3 months (if it lasts that long).

Just tried this, it is very nice. Not sure I could get it past my kids!
Maybe present it inside a used Milo tin, and see if they notice it then.
Mmm yum!! Have to try this 🙂 can you use a Kenwood K-cook its like a thermomix?? Thanks Happy changing habits
Just out of curiosity has anyone done the math? How much would this cost to make? I love the idea but…..
Hi Kerrie, no we haven’t done the math, but I agree, it would be interesting to know 🙂
Are cacao nibs the same as the cacao melts you mention
Hi Katie, no the Changing Habits Cacao Melts are different to the nibs.
Can stevia be used in place of sugar for diabetes and sugar free friendly? I
We haven’t tried it with stevia, but you most certainly could test it out 🙂
This tastes exactly like milo but only in cold drinks. definitely a winner
Hi Jordan, I just did half a batch, it tastes pretty good, but I find it a bit too powdery not as smooth as the commercial Milo.. anyway to overcome this powdery taste? I m trying not to overblend to make it paste like..
Thanks for great recipe.

What could I use in place of cashews? We have a cashew allergy.
Hi Natalie, you can trial other nuts or seeds such as brazil, almonds, sunflower or hazelnuts 🙂
We have a cashew allergy here too. Could you just leave it out or best to replace with something?
Hi Kathryn, yes you can omit it, or swap it to another nut or seed of your choice 🙂
what to use in place of cocoa melts ? choc chips ?
Yes that should work fine Pam, you may just need to reduce the rapadura sugar content slightly if there is sugar contained in the choc chips.
