Summit Deluxe Vegan Chocolate Powder is a premium hot chocolate ingredient formulated specifically for the UK commercial vending and self-serve market. Made with 33.3% fat-reduced cocoa powder, it delivers a genuinely rich, full-flavoured hot chocolate — not the thin, powdery result that characterises lower-quality vegan chocolate powders. It is completely free from dairy ingredients, making it a straightforward default for vending machines and self-serve stations that need to cater for dairy-free and vegan customers without maintaining separate specialised equipment.
Vegan hot chocolate demand has grown significantly in UK hospitality settings, and venues are increasingly expected to offer it as standard rather than as a niche request. The Summit Deluxe Vegan powder provides a cost-effective way to meet that demand without compromising on quality — at 33% cocoa content, it produces a drink that stands on its own rather than simply being a lesser alternative to a dairy version.
The powder is optimised for use with vending and counter-top hot chocolate machines — dissolving cleanly with minimal residue, which keeps machines running longer between cleans. It is also fully compatible with the Summit Deluxe Hot Chocolate Machine, which uses the same powder in its 1.2kg canisters, as well as the Cadbury Trio and similar three-flavour machines that include a vegan channel.
Available as a 1kg packet or a case of 10 × 1kg (10kg total) for bulk purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Summit Deluxe Vegan Chocolate Powder compatible with all hot chocolate machines?
It is designed for vending machines and commercial counter-top dispensers that use powder hoppers — including the Summit Deluxe Hot Chocolate Machine and similar three-canister machines. It dissolves cleanly in hot water without excessive residue. If you’re unsure whether it’s compatible with your specific machine, contact our team and we can advise.
How does the vegan powder differ from the standard Summit hot chocolate?
The main difference is the absence of dairy-derived ingredients. The vegan powder uses 33.3% fat-reduced cocoa, the same cocoa percentage as the Summit Dark variant, and produces a rich, full-flavoured result. Standard Summit hot chocolate formulations may contain milk solids or lactose as part of the blend. The Vegan version is formulated without these, making it suitable for dairy-free and vegan dietary requirements.
How many servings does a 1kg packet provide?
A standard serving is approximately 25–30g of powder per 12oz drink, giving roughly 33–40 drinks per 1kg packet. For high-volume venues, the case of 10 × 1kg provides approximately 330–400 servings total. Contact us for case pricing.
