A protein drink that understands moderation and uses it effectively to create relatively smooth, adequately flavorful and appropriately sweet experience.
All tagged High Protein
Teho Sport Palautusjuoma Suklaa
Tastes like you'd expect a high protein drink would— undersweet, under chocolaty, over ‘enriched' (multi-vitaminy)-- none of which approach an extreme level (thankfully). The texture is dense and starchy, but not too drying. I've had a lot worse, but tastewise, it’s still sub par in the chocolate milk category.
Ehrmann High Protein Shot Chocolate
Creamy, almost 'airy' feel-- which is unique, as most protein-enriched chocolate milks feel dense or gummy. Lightly sweet with identifiable cocoa, this is a welcome surprise as it doesn't carry too much unnecessary baggage from a flavor standpoint. Definitely feels more indulgent than the label lets on.
Pirkka Pro Suklaa
Chalky, but still more milky than most other protein drinks out there. There’s a sharpness to the cocoa that feels just a tad off, but all things considered, it's a fairly decent tasting protein-enriched chocolate milk.
Valio Plus Maito-Kaakao
This is how I'd expect chocolate milk to taste if it came from an artesian well. A moderate amount of cream is about all that separates this from spring water.
Rainbow Proteindryck Choklad
There’s a strange intensity to the flavor, which feels like it should burn, but doesn’t. The texture is definitely more milky than otherwise— a welcome difference to the normal protein drink, and there is cocoa flavor to be had. After the initial shock of the unique flavor, it becomes more palatable with each swallow.
Fast Protein Milkshake
Dense, chalky, and though not terribly ‘sweet’— the presence of artificial sweeteners is disturbingly evident, to the extent that it is the first and last thing you taste.
A. Le Coq Arctic Sport Proteiinjook Banana-Sokolaadi
Sweet banana scent that accurately represents the flavor as well. It's decidedly toward the banana end of the spectrum (versus the chocolate end) but is smooth enough to sip without any red flags.
Maitomaa Protein Performance
Strong and nearly rancid banana scent, though the flavor is more what you’d expect (much more banana than chocolate). Dense yet smooth and surprisingly not starchy-feeling, I found myself enjoying it more as I got used to it. There’s a mild wheaty undertone that becomes more noticeable in the aftertaste, but it’s not terrible considering its makeup.
Smiltene Piena Speks Sokolades
So chalky that it turns the inside of your mouth into velcro. It’s not chocolaty, but there’s nothing too nasty about the flavor (if you can get past the chalk). After drinking half of this bottle, my mouth is drier than it was last August after a 7-hour un-airconditioned waterless train ride across Bulgaria.
Valio Pro Feel Suklainen Chokladsmak
Thickish and super drying to the mouth— quite a strong powdery quality. Flavorwise, it does well for having artificial sweeteners (they’re not over-present) and the chocolate is there but comes with a little sharpness initially. The more I drink, the more I’m used to the flavor but disgusted by how its coating the inside of my mouth.
Mlekovita Super Body Active Protein Czekoladowy
Salty and eventually malty with a caramel-like note as well. The stevia is rather well hidden, as is the cocoa flavor. The aftertaste may be a bit sharp for some, but it’s a unique flavor that was unexpected given its packaging and claims.
Bakoma Benefit Sport Chocolate Flavor
Unnaturally sludgy texture that oozes forth an earthy, contrived cocoa flavor. Expect a fair bit of residue to line the inside of wherever you choose to pour this— but I don’t recommend ‘the mouth.’
Kambaku Power Coccao
A remarkable drink in many respects-- it has a unique ingredient list (including caffeine and marula fruit puree) and also an unusual nutritional profile (4.1g fat, 5.7g protein, 163mg calcium per 100mL). The taste is creamy, decently chocolaty, and has a tiny hint of Bailey’s Irish Cream flavor. All in all, one to remember, and one to seek out if you’re in the Vienna area.
Emmi Energy Milk Choco (330mL plastic)
Foamy top but a pretty fair and true chocolate flavor throughout. The sweetness isn't overdone (thankfully, as it’s artificially sweetened) so no major red flags go up when you send this down your gullet.
Nom Fasten Protein Drink Schoko
A little dusty and drying to the mouth. Sweetness feels shallow and fake, but it’s not terrible for a protein fortified drink.
Rajo Active Protein Dairy Drink Cokolada
Highly unsweet, but with noticeable bitter cocoa flavor that has a tiny hint of anise to the finish. It’s fairly thick, grainy, and chalky as you might expect for a drink with nearly 10g of protein per 100mL, but it doesn’t reek of unnaturalness like many others do.
All In Light Protein Drink Choco Latte
Tastes exactly like an Amazon Prime box that sat out in a rain shower and then partially dried. This sensation exacerbates in the aftertaste-- it simply won't go away despite threats, prayers, and a fistful of smoky bbq chips. Don't torture yourself.
All In One Protein Drink Schoko
Thicker, sweeter, and decidedly less brutal than the ‘Light’ version. It’s deceptively creamy, and does not carry a vitamin-y taste or horrific aftertaste.
Chiefs Choco Mountain Milk Protein
Scurries down your throat as if it's surprised it even got past your lips— a vile, parasitic maneuver. Deceptively thin and watery, it launches an unpleasant ferrous assault on your interior. Three sips was enough for me, and I do this kind of thing for fun.
