Nicely undersweet, good consistency, but as much ‘wheaty’ flavor as cocoa.

Gainomax Recovery Drink Chocolate
The flavor and texture are ok for a protein-enriched product, but nowhere good enough to warrant the extreme 100 calories & 16g carbs per 100mL expense. I get that this is supposed to be for those who want to ‘gain’—but for those who are looking for taste alone, this should be avoided. Maltodextrin as the second ingredient is not something I've seen before.
TruMoo High Protein Cookies n' Cream Lowfat Milk
A highly salty and slightly cardboard-y take on the cookies-n-cream flavor (it compares poorly to the Hershey’s versions). The sweetness and cream help the drinkability considerably, but it’s far inferior to its chocolate counterpart.
Organic Valley Organic Fuel High Protein Chocolate Milk Shake
Extremely chalky, very mildly chocolaty, and relatively unsweet— I applaud the uniqueness in flavor and the aim towards ‘better for you’— but there is little reason to pursue this version for taste alone.
Lucerne Protein+ Reduced Calorie Chocolate Flavored Dairy Beverage
The sweetness has a sharp bite to it that carries on into the aftertaste and wrests control of the entirety of the drink. From a texture standpoint, it’s grainy and unnecessarily thick. Can’t recommend this one.
Great Value Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Cloying sweetness masks whatever cocoa flavor there is supposed to be, and it carries on into the aftertaste. There’s enough salt, and the consistency is decent, but the supporting flavors aren’t good enough to compensate for the lack of chocolate.
Hood Calcium Fortified Chocolate Milk
Fantastically creamy and delicious— could only be improved by having a stronger cocoa quotient. Very enjoyable to drink and feels both indulgent and sophisticated.
Core Power Elite High Protein Chocolate Milk Shake
Thick, chalky, and what sweetness exists tastes artificial and weird, though not completely out of character for Fairlife products. I appreciate that it’s low sugar and (very) high protein and it bears much more semblance to milk than other products in its category— but to drink it for its flavor is not recommended.
Hood Calcium Fortified Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Very powdery chocolate flavor and texture— left lots of tiny grit on the tongue. Otherwise, quite average across the board.
Lucerne Protein Plus Chocolate Flavored Dairy Beverage
Thick, chalky texture and an unrewarding earthy taste. It carries a powdery quality that will dry out your mouth post-swallow— remedying this discomfort is the only incentive to take another sip.
Hood Chocolate Whole Milk
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.
