We love visiting Galaxy's Edge at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World and we will take every chance we get to take it home with us! Because we love the Blue Milk at the Park so much, we wanted to share our recipe with you so you can have a little bit of Star Wars at home when you aren't exploring Galaxy's Edge.
There is so much to do and see at Galaxy's Edge. One thing that we visit every trip is the Milk Stand. Now this isn't your normal milk, they only serve blue and green milk. That is how you know, you aren't on planet Earth anymore.
Star Wars Blue Milk Recipe
We know that blue milk is made with rice milk, so everyone can enjoy it and not have to worry about allergies. It is a milkshake consistency, making it a lot like a smoothie.
So, with those helpful nuggets of information at hand, we decided to create a blue milk smoothie that Star Wars fans could make in the comfort of their own kitchen.
Star Wars Blue Milk Recipe from Galaxy's Edge Milk Stand
- 2 cups Vanilla Flavored Sweetened Rice Milk
- Glacier Ice Gatorade Powder
- 1 cup Glacier Ice Frozen into Cubes or Mickey Shapes
- Blue Food Coloring
Important note about this Star Wars Blue Milk Recipe:
You must make the Gatorade ice at least 5 hours before you want to serve the blue milk. For a quick version of this recipe, you can use regular ice and then increase the amount of Gatorade Power by 1/2 scoop.
We used a Mickey Mouse mold from the Disney Store to use for this recipe. If you don't have a Mickey Mouse mold, then feel free to use regular ice trays! You could also use Star Wars themed ice molds; there are a LOT on Amazon. Here are some links:

And here are the Mickey Mouse ice molds.
Star Wars Blue Milk Recipe: Getting Started
Pour in blue Glacier Gatorade into the ice cube trays. Put them in the freezer to get solid.
Place 2 cups of sweetened vanilla rice milk in a blender.
Take your Mickey ice mold from the freezer and pop out the frozen blue Mickeys!
You need about 1.5 cups of ice to make the Star Wars Blue Milk smoothie consistency. That is all six Mickey heads if you are using the Disney mold. If you chose the water ice method, then just use a measuring cup with crushed or cubed ice.
Pour one scoop of the Gatorade Glacier Ice powder into the blender. The Galaxy's Edge version of blue milk claims to have a berry flavor. This Gatorade powder has a hint of berry flavor as well, so it is a pretty good match!
Star Wars Blue Milk Recipe: Getting the Blue Hue
Add about 4 drops of blue food coloring to the blender. We didn't the blue milk was quite vibrant enough without the coloring! You want out of this world blue milk!
Star Wars Blue Milk Recipe: Getting Smooth
Blend everything together until it is nice and smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
It is a little bit funny that Galaxy's Edge Blue Milk is not actually made of milk. Honestly, the rice milk version is a pretty good idea. Sipping on my own copycat blue milk made me realize that it would be quite refreshing on a hot day at the Disney parks. Much better than traditional cow's milk. It is a really light beverage that is sweet, but not overpowering.

I tried making this with slightly altered ingredients. I used one cup of vanilla rice drink, one cup of coconut milk, and 2 small trays of Glacier Freeze Gatorade ice cubes (roughly half of a 64 oz bottle). It turned out good, but the Gatorade overpowered the milk taste, so I guess if you enjoy that flavor of Gatorade you’ll like this mix, otherwise you might want to try something else. Another article I read listed the ingredients they’re going to use at Disneyland for Blue Milk as: coconut milk, rice milk, dragon fruit, pineapple, lime and watermelon. I think I’ll try that combo next. Green milk ingredients are listed in the article as: Mandarin orange, passion fruit, grapefruit and orange blossom (in addition to the rice and coconut milk I assume).
