Plenty sweet, and enough cream, malt, and cocoa flavor to be taken seriously. There is a slight powdery-ness that pervades the experience but it’s not egregious enough to curb the enjoyment.

Core Power High Protein Chocolate Milk Shake
Unnaturally thick texture which doesn't feel milky. It is reminiscent of Fairlife, but definitely not an improvement (despite a little more protein and a bit more sugar). Mild metallic aftertaste is thankfully fleeting.
Nestle Nesquik Protein Plus Chocolate
Plasticky texture and a candy-like sweetness that is hard to stomach. The ’28% less sugar’ claim I feel is a bit misleading, and regardless, there are items with half the sugar that taste much better.
Organic Valley Organic Balance Dark Chocolate Milk Protein Shake
Very sour and slightly bitter cocoa taste that takes a few sips to acclimate to— and by the time you’ve adjusted, the bottle is gone.
Shamrock Farms Rockin' Refuel Protein Chocolate Milk Beverage
So sweet, but so unnatural. Theres a super-strong fake-honey flavor that then morphs into a mouth-watering (not in a good way) cloying reaction. I think the tongue is trying to secrete as much saliva as it can to escort this product off of it as soon as possible.
TruMoo High Protein Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Much saltier and more flavorful than other TruMoo products I've had— perhaps that is a big part of what they were missing. Chocolate isn’t too prominent, but a strong maltiness is well executed and a pleasure to drink.
Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme Flavored Milk Shake
Tons of flavor, about as sweet as one could stomach, yet it still tastes pretty good. If you melted cookies ’n’ creme ice cream, strained out the solid bits, and thinned out the texture-- this is pretty much what you'd get. It’s not disappointing from that perspective.
Lucerne Dairy Farms Extra Rich & Creamy Chocolate Fat Free Milk
A fat-free milk labelled ‘extra rich & creamy’ is strange, as a person would not select this item if they were looking for an indulgent experience. That said, it is pretty tasty for a skim chocolate milk— there’s perhaps a bit too much sweetness, but there’s salt in equal proportion that helps to balance it out. Lots more flavor that I expected.
Nestle Chuckie Chocolate Milk Drink
Very unique taste— not chocolate, not malt, not the usual suspects when you’re sampling chocolate milk. It’s an onslaught of salt with a wheaty / starchy flavor and feel. Coats the inside of your mouth with an oily-feeling residue.
Meiji Zavas Milk Protein Cocoa
Part fruity, part rummy, part gamey, all nasty.
Foremost Omega Gold Chocolate
There's a washed-out feel to the taste that leaves you wanting a bit more of a bite. It’s not offensive, but relatively uninteresting.
Dmalt High Calcium
Mild metallic taste with an over-emulsified feel. Better than some other fortified drinks but from a flavor standpoint, I’d look elsewhere.
Anlene BonezActiv Low Fat Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Possibly the most tasteless product I’ve had. If you need calcium, chewing a pill would provide more flavor.
Kroger Lactose Free 1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Could use a bit more cocoa flavor but excellent balance and easy to enjoy. In a fridge full of chocolate milk, I found myself repeatedly reaching for this one until it was gone.
Lucerne Dairy Farms Ultra-Pasteurized Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Good chocolate flavor delivered through a relatively thick, chalky texture. Abundantly sweet, which detracts from the overall experience.
Shamrock Farms Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Flavorful with noticeable cocoa and malt flavors and plenty of salt to maintain a satisfying aftertaste. Also a fleeting caramel-like note early on in the sip.
Shamrock Farms No Sugar Added Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Valiant effort for a ‘no sugar added’ version. Artificial sweetness is not overdone, cream is good, cocoa is a bit hard to find— but overall still enjoyable.
Maple View Farm Chocolate Milk
Mature, earthy cocoa flavor and more cream than sweetness. The texture is a bit thick, but it’s warranted by the creaminess.
TruMoo Chocolate Lowfat Milk Calcium Plus
A fair bit saltier than other TruMoo products, but same lack of cocoa flavor. More salt than sweet, not necessarily a bad thing, but otherwise unmemorable.
Ripple Chocolate
Tastes like you’d expect something that has ‘pea protein’ as the second ingredient would. Pretty awful if expecting chocolate milk, though it’s truly not a fair comparison as this is a non-dairy product and should be out of scope. My curiosity was the only thing satisfied here.
