Really nice creamy flavor, surprisingly prominent for a 1% fat product. Everything else is present and in good proportion— great tasting and feeling product from start to finish.

Sterilgarda Alimenti Merendix Latte Cacao
Very thick and sweet, with almost a boozy chocolate flavor and scent. The taste is much better than the texture (for me)- it’s way too thick.
Darigold Old Fashioned Chocolate Milk
Excellent combination of thin/smooth/creamy which is difficult to pull off. It is very sweet, and lacks a strong enough cocoa presence to compete with the sweetness.
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.
Shamrock Farms Chocolate Milk
Very tasty with strong salt and malt combination delivered through a relatively thin but highly creamy medium.
Shamrock Farms Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk
Sweet and creamy, with a buttery quality that is unique and pleasant. Plenty of salt to balance things out.
Yoohoo Chocolate Drink (glass)
Probably should be out of scope, as it’s not really milk, it is a widely known drink in America. Thin, silky smooth, watery, sweet; still not a viable replacement for relatively average chocolate milk.
Sneakz Organic Chocolate Milkshake
Tastes marginally better than you’d expect considering the ingredients (spinach, beets, cauliflower, etc.) but when compared with more traditional chocolate milk, it borders on foul.
Byrne Dairy Chocolate Milk
Salty, malty, and excellent. Not overpoweringly chocolaty, but tons of flavor in an equally good direction. Reminiscent of Heidi in Switzerland. Oh, Heidi.. Go out of your way to find this in Upstate NY.
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.
Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Has that signature Nesquik starchy/plasticky thickness, and an aftertaste that feels artificial. There is cocoa present, and it is more flavorful than the fat-free version, but still below average.
Hershey's 2% Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk
Solid chocolate flavor delivered through a nicely thin, creamy medium. There is a bit of grain throughout, but it does not detract from the tasty experience. Strong across the board.
Nestle Nesquik Fat Free Chocolate Milk
Unnatural thickness dominates the experience— there’s plenty of sweetness but very little else. Fairly hollow and unsatisfying.
Nestle Nesquik Double Chocolate Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Similar (over) thickness issues as with the fat free version, but much more prevalent cocoa flavor. This would benefit from the addition of salt and/or creamy notes, which are essentially non existent.
Wegmans Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Sweet and salty and lacking in direct cocoa flavor. Inoffensive and very average.
Natrel Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk (UHT)
A slightly more sour than sweet taste which meshes well with the strong cocoa flavor. It is quite chalky and leaves a decent bit of residue on the glass, but it manages to deliver good flavor.
Münsterland Classico Kakao-Drink
Watery, sort of malty but too diluted to carry much of any flavor. More preferable to a lot of other ‘diet’ versions, as it’s nicely thin and goes down without a fight.
Bio Primo Kakao Schoko Drink
Same as Schweitzer Choco Bio: Flavor that is an absolute punch in the face, this should not be missed. Very chalky, but for a good cause— incredibly strong and tasty cocoa flavor, plenty of cream, sweetness, and salt. Simply one of the best I have ever had!
Saliter Schoko Milch (250mL)
As with other Saliter products, there is definitely a wheaty taste, which is decidedly less pleasant than a malty taste. Averagely creamy and sweet, but overall slightly below because of the distraction from cocoa flavor.
