What Causes Black Stools In A Kid?

My baby is 23 months old, since 2 days her stools are in black color. I started Pediasure chocolate flavor, since 5 days. I have been mixing it in water instead of milk as were travelling.
Could you pls tell me what could be the reason of her stools being in black.
