The sun is out, the birds are singing and the beer gardens are filling with happy people enjoying a tipple or two whilst catching the rays. Unfortunately for me I am tied to my laptop trying to get a college assignment finished so I had to improvise. Thankfully Lactofree sent me their latest product to try so I had the perfect excuse for a play.
The Lactofree chocolate dairy drink has only been in the shops since 20th April so is a brand new product to the range. As with the other products in the range it is suitable for people who are lactose intolerant as well as vegetarians. The chocolate flavouring somes from UTZ certified cocoa which is sustainably farmed.
I expected the drink to be thicker and richer, more like a milkshake. It is true to its description though and is a chocolate flavoured drink that isn’t too sweet with a subtle chocolate flavour. I used it to make these delicious spiced rum milkshakes that ‘summer’ up the classic rum hot chocolate.
Spiced Rum Milkshake – Serves 1
Ingredients
300ml Lactofree chocolate dairy drink
50ml Rum (I used Appleton Estate VX which added a lovely sweetness)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon (I used cinnamon bark crushed
Ice
Mini Marshmallows (optional)
Method
Pop all the ingredients into a blender and blitz. I used the Nutribullet which crushes the ice with ease making the drink thicker and frothier. Top with the mini marshmallows if using.
I think this is a great addition to the Lactofree family and I’ve got everything crossed that they introduce new flavours. Banana would be amazing! Have you tried it yet?

I find that banana is a flavour often missing in lacto or dairy free milk ranges for some reason. I love your addition of rum and cinnamon – so creative!
