Valio PROfeel Chocolate Protein Drink

Headnote

This is a restrained chocolate protein drink built for clarity, not excess. The milk provides body, the milk protein gives structure, and the cocoa lends a clean, measured bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check. Served properly chilled, it should drink with a smooth, polished texture and a finish that is cool, cocoa-forward, and exact.

Equipment

Digital scale

Small mixing bowl

Whisk

Fine-mesh sieve

330 g bottle or serving glass

Ingredients

250 g milk

45 g milk protein

15 g cocoa

8 g stabilizer

6 g flavoring

4 g sweetener

1 g vitamin d

1 g calcium

Method

1. Place the milk in a small mixing bowl. Add the milk protein and cocoa, then whisk steadily for 1 minute until the cocoa is evenly dispersed and no dry pockets remain. The mixture should look uniformly brown and slightly thickened.

2. Add the stabilizer, flavoring, sweetener, vitamin d, and calcium. Whisk for another 1 minute until fully dissolved and the liquid appears smooth, glossy, and homogeneous.

3. Pass the drink through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean 330 g bottle or serving glass. This removes any remaining granules and ensures a refined texture.

4. Chill for 5 minutes before serving, or serve immediately over ice if a colder finish is desired. The drink should pour fluidly, with a silky body and a clean chocolate aroma.

Plating and serving

Serve in a slender chilled glass or bottle. The drink should present as deep brown, smooth, and uniform, with no visible separation. Offer it cold, with a clean surface and a dense, creamy pour.

Professional notes

Use cold milk to preserve freshness and keep the texture tight. Sieve with care; any remaining cocoa or protein granules will disturb the finish. The balance should remain centered on milk chocolate character, with sweetness held just below the point of heaviness.
