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.

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.

Bauer Schoko Protein Drink

Seems like a contradiction in terms, but this is SO memorably bland. It tastes like nothing at all— not water, not air, but maybe like plain 1% milk, without the ‘milk’ flavor though (whatever that is). Almost always, these protein drinks have some sort of weird flavor, sweetener, texture, etc.— but not this one. Four years ago, in Berlin (for my birthday) we did the float tank (Float Berlin); this is the drinkable version of sensory deprivation.
