This recipe is in partnership with Milk – all opinions are my own.
My family and I are Disneyland junkies – we go all the time! I’ve always been a Disney fan and now that my kids are loving all things Disney too, we just can’t stay away.
We just visited Disneyland in California at the start of May and the hype around the new Star Wars themed land Galaxy’s Edge was at an all time high. Everyone has been talking about and speculating what might be found in the new land and now that’s it’s been opened to a few people (you have to have reservations to get into the land for the first month!) the internet is blowing up about the BLUE MILK in Galaxy’s Edge.
So what is Blue Milk? Inspired by an iconic scene in the Star Wars movies, this drink is a secret recipe but those who have tried it have described it as being a slushy, frothy, slightly fruity cup of deliciousness.
Our next trip to Disneyland isn’t for couple of months and I’m dying to get a taste of that Blue Milk – and so are my kids! – but when I heard it was made with coconut milk I just knew I had to make a real dairy version right away.
So why didn’t I make it with coconut milk? Just like my Cinnamon Bun Moon Milk recipe, I try to sneak in nutrient-rich dairy milk whenever possible. Most non-dairy options don’t offer the same nutrient package as real milk. Real dairy milk offers essential nutrients kids need including protein, calcium, vitamin D and potassium and since three year olds can be pretty picky eaters (mine are notoriously so!) I am always looking for fun ways to get more of these nutrients into their diet.
Plus I knew they’d enjoy it more with real dairy milk – like I said, they can be picky and I know they love milk! I feel good giving my kids this REAL blue milk as a fun snack knowing the milk also provides nutrients they need and often don’t get enough of.
The blue milk found at Galaxy’s Edge supposedly has somewhat of a slush quality, so I started with whole milk and blended it with ice and a bit of vanilla extract.
They’re speculating that the drink has hints of fruit flavors like watermelon, lime, pineapple, and passion fruit so I used some blue fruit punch powder to achieve some of those fruity undertones.
My kids fell in love with the taste of this blue milk and had so much fun making it with me! If you’ve tried the blue milk at Galaxy’s Edge I’d love to know what you think of this one and see how it compares. When we go back to Disneyland in a few months I can’t wait to try it out for myself!

I’m guessing theKool-aid is not in a packet but the sweetened kind in a can. i tbsp is an entire packet and was extremely sour. Had to add 1/3 cup sugar to be able to drink it.
How much does this recipe maKe?
Enough for 4-6 people 🙂 Depending on your serving size.
It came out really dark purple/blue, and it was super sour. We cut out tHe powder mix, added sugar (eyeball it) and it was almost exactly like the drink!
thank you lord
Why do you keep calling it “real” milk? Are other milks not “real”? Im just curious on your definition of what “real” milk is ecause you stressed it tume and time again.
Sorry, *because and *time. Mobile user-
hi! I have partnered the last few years with Milk Life which focuses on promoting the consumption of dairy milk for its many nutrition benefits, we refer to it as real milk, you can learn more at milk life.com 🙂
But what about childrEn
Like mine? Both my boys
Are allerGic to dairy, is
There a version with
Almond milk?
I have not tried using almond milk with this recipe, but I suppose that is possible! 🙂
It seems they actually use Rice Milk, though any milk should work. We have had it, my son about 6 or 7 times. We tried to recreate it at home with Blue Gatorade, Blue Fruit Punch, etc Nothing Tastes like it does in the Park. It’s very Earthy, almost healthy tasting! The Blue actually comes from BLue Butterfly Pea Tea bags! The spices are ginger root, cardamom, and mace. They also use a little bit of sugar to sweeten, and arrowroot powder to thicken the milk a bit. I do like the Original Posters idea of blending Ice with the Milk as the Frozen Blue Milk in Galaxy’s Edge is pretty good!
Can i Make an alMond/oatmilk version
I haven’t tried that but I definitely think it could work!
where, may I ask, do you get blue fruit punch powder?
Blue Kool Aid or Hawaiian Punch powder! You can find one of those at most grocery stores, even the singles (single pouches for a bottle of water) work!
Wow! I haveN’t heard of this drink before! What an INTRIGUING concept!
OK, have to ask…what is fruit punch powder? are we talking about…ehem…”cool aid?”
Haha yes!!! Kool Aid or Hawaiian Punch also has version of the same thing!
Where do you buy fruit punch powder, i have never heard of it.
Blue Kool Aid or Hawaiian Punch powder!
