Chocolate milk is made by simply adding chocolate flavored syrup or powder to cold milk.

Caffeine in chocolate milk can vary depending on the type of product used and the amount used. However caffeine amounts are very small - it's sugar that is the issue. the amounts above are for reduced-fat milk.

While chocolate milk is a popular beverage for children, parents should be more concerned with the sugar that is in chocolate milk than the small amount of caffeine it contains.
