Tons of taste— the chocolate flexes its muscles and is judiciously disseminated by the cream, leaving a warmth in your mouth, as though it’s hugging you and your body reciprocates. Excellent.
All in USA
Garry's Meadow Fresh All-Jersey Chocolate Milk
Rather thick and sports a noticeable grain- you almost need to chew it. It’s surprisingly bland as well, but finishes with a pleasantly creamy nod.
Sunshine Dairy Foods Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk
Nicely creamy and less focus on sweetness. Quite enjoyable, but could use a stronger cocoa element.
Sunshine Dairy Foods Fat Free Chocolate Milk
Sweet and salty, but not much cream or chocolate flavor. Super smooth and drinkable, especially for fat-free, but it needs to amp up the cocoa to fare better in a taste comparison.
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.
Lala Chocolala Chocolate Low Fat Milk
Chalky, thin but slightly rough, and decently chocolaty. The pieces fit together nicely for an above average drink.
Simple Truth Organic Whole Chocolate Milk
Creamy, but still has the same (almost) minty/paste-like flavor that was present in the low fat version.
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 Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Plasticky sweetness to it that overpowers much of the rest. Tingles a bit in the back of the throat, grabs your uvula and refuses to let go.
Simple Truth Organic Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Less sweetness enables a sourish note to come out. Chalky, and the flavor reminds me of when I used to eat the occasional dollop of paste as a child. I liked it then, and don’t hate it now.
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.
Kroger CarbMaster Ultra-Filtered Nonfat Chocolate Milk
Everything is a miss here, from the overly emulsified texture to the noticeably unnatural sweetness that makes your mouth water (not in a good way). I’ve had worse, only because I’ve tried about 260 others to this point.
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.
Rock View Family Farms Lowfat Chocolate Milk
A relatively flat, uninspired cocoa taste that is reminiscent of many private label gallon jugs. Decidedly average and forgettable.
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.
Danzeisen Dairy Chocolate Milk
Nicely creamy, but little else in the flavor department that stands out. It doesn’t try to do too much, and has an enjoyable simplicity that makes drinking both pleasurable and effortless.
Shamrock Farms Chocolate Milk
Very tasty with strong salt and malt combination delivered through a relatively thin but highly creamy medium.
Hunter Farms Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Weak cocoa flavor, only a light sweetness is present. Fairly thin, smooth, light, and gray— but the flavor has much fewer identifiable characteristics.
The Fresh Market Reduced Fat 2% Chocolate Milk
Cocoa flavor that tastes very ‘accurate’— tastes like how cocoa should. All other flavors work well to make cocoa the star of the show.
TruMoo Chocolate 1% Lowfat Milk (UHT)
Has a watered-down, yet ‘cooked’ milk taste that might be ok on its own but doesn’t fare well side-by-side with others.
