Smooth milky texture and a slightly sour (not in a bad way) cocoa flavor that you will appreciate a little more with each sip. The chocolate component settles quickly, so remember to shake between applications.
Nrich Chocolate Milk Drink
Rich, coffee brown in color, super dense feel, and a sweet, unoffensive melted caramel flavor that is milder than you may initially expect. It’s similar in feel and taste to sweetened condensed milk, and does well to hide much of the fortification contained therein.
Bounty
Pale, smooth, lightly sweet and decently coconutty. There’s no identifiable chocolate flavor (the Bounty candy bar is chocolate-covered), so it tastes like watered-down coconut milk, which is still pretty good. But as a chocolate milk, this is not to be taken seriously.
Funtime Chocolate Milk
Earthy cocoa presence with not much else to pick up the slack. The flavor dissipates quickly which suggests a watery base. I'm sure 29 pence doesn't buy what it used to.
Coop Chocolate Milk (189mL)
Cardboard flavor and aftertaste make for a highly unsatisfying experience. Who at Coop thinks this tastes like chocolate milk?
Best-in Milk It! Chocolate Milk Shake
100% rotten-- even shelf-stable milk has its limits. Took a big swig of this and had to run to the sink, unfortunately, most of the mouthful went down the hatch. I’ll update this review if I can get a non-spoiled version.
Milktastic! Chocolate
Pretty average in most respects, the texture is a touch on the starchy side, and the cocoa flavor is toward the candy end and lightly sour. The packaging is definitely its best feature, though after having tried it, you realize that the cow’s arms are raised more in the spirit of ‘surrender’ than ‘celebration.’
Dairy Manor Chocolate Milk Drink
Candyish cocoa flavor paired with a strong sweetness that registers more toward the back of the mouth. Identifiable as chocolate milk though a cursory search should lead to a better option most times.
PhD Diet Whey Belgian Chocolate
Unnecessarily thick and tastes like spray paint fumes (modestly so, anyway). You could convince yourself that there’s more ‘banana’ flavor in this than ‘chocolate’— but either way, it’s not to be pursued for enjoyment.
Acti-Shake Chocolate
Super starchy feel and a faux-sweetened wheatish taste. You could do a lot worse, but also a lot better with much less effort. Very little chocolate flavor— but if you like that ‘proteiny’ feel, have a go.
Dunn's River Nurishment Original Chocolate
Super intense sweetness certainly dominates the experience and will nearly singe the back of your throat. It feels lots more ‘indulgent’ than ‘responsible’ and was a pleasant surprise in that regard, but it’s far too sweet to be taken seriously.
Shakes Chocolate Milk
Compositionally identical to Moo Milk Chocolate, same drinking experience as well. Unfortunately, more of a wheaty/malty flavor than that of cocoa, though the remaining complement of flavors is respectable. There’s a chalkiness to the aftertaste that is a bit drying and unpleasant. It won’t beat you over the head with flavor, nor will it embarrass you in public.
Protein Boost Chocolate
Thin and somewhat smooth, but unnatural feeling. The overt (phony) sweetness will shock and displease you. Reckon it's antifreeze without the cool green color.
Fuel 10K Chocolate Protein Boosted Milk Drink
Watery and unsweet— so you're left with a chalky, wheaty, proteiny taste that is reminiscent of sports drinks of old. The under-sweetness would work a whole lot better were there a creamy component, but it’s completely devoid of that.
Spar Chocolate Milk (UK)
Chocolaty, but carries a rather sour, powdery, earthiness. Plenty of sweetness, but not enough salt or cream to balance things out.
UFit Chocolate Flavour High Protein Milkshake 22g
Mild, fruity sweetness and chalky medium— it’s not horrendous, but definitely not chocolaty or something you’d drink for enjoyment. Tongue-watering faux-sweetener aftertaste drags it down a bit further though.
Bam All Natural Chocolate Milk
Excellently creamy and mildly honey-laden flavor-- unfortunately, that's the extent of the flavor. This has serious potential, but seriously lacks a chocolaty presence. That said, it still drinks magnificently and has a great feel-- it's just on the bland side.
UFit Chocolate Flavour High Protein Milkshake 50g
More bland and starchy than the 22g version, but a similar taste. I’d say it’s slightly more preferable as the aftertaste is less overt.
For Goodness Shakes Sports Recovery Chocolate
Subtle and malty-- no red flags here. The packaging sets you up for ‘protein drink flavor’ but in truth, you receive a pretty normal chocolate milk; a welcome surprise.
For Goodness Shakes High Protein Chocolate
Chalky and seems to be shooting for a 'malty' flavor, but comes up rather short. It's light on flavor, but could be a lot worse considering the drink’s makeup and charter.
