Thin and somewhat smooth, but unnatural feeling. The overt (phony) sweetness will shock and displease you. Reckon it's antifreeze without the cool green color.

Fuel 10K Chocolate Protein Boosted Milk Drink
Watery and unsweet— so you're left with a chalky, wheaty, proteiny taste that is reminiscent of sports drinks of old. The under-sweetness would work a whole lot better were there a creamy component, but it’s completely devoid of that.
Maxi Nutrition Promax Milk Extreme Chocolate
There's an ashy quality to the flavor and an anise-like twang on the tongue afterward. If you really need 50g protein, get a double Whopper or something else that won't leave your face grimacing and your wallet 4 quid lighter.
Tuffi Frische Schoko Milch
So nastily fruity that I concluded that it HAD to be fermented. It wasn’t like vinegar, just a sickening, searing sweetness that scurried down my throat like it had done something wrong.
Optimel Drink Chocolade
Musty, wet-cardboard flavor can’t be intentional, but it’s common enough in chocolate milk that I’m no longer surprised by it. This drink admittedly doesn’t have much to work with, given the nutritional profile, but perhaps just aiming for ‘bland’ should be the goal of certain producers.
Albert Heijn Basic Skimmed Choco Milk
Gives off a strange sensation that I’ve not felt much before— the first sip hits you as a hollow sweetness, and then, in your mouth, the swallow and aftertaste just get progressively sweeter. I’m not sure how/why this works, but it’s unpleasant. The sweetness feels unnatural as well, and the chocolate flavor is not at all worth the trouble.
Tine Styrk Fettfri Melk Kakao 50% More Protein
A tad less bitter than the regular Styrk version, but enjoyment is clearly not the goal here. There’s not a strong ‘protein’ taste or overly contrived texture, but it's a rather shallow experience from a flavor standpoint.
Tine Styrk Fettfri Melk Kakao
Not at all sweet, not at all chocolaty, not at all creamy, not at all recommended.
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.’
Mizo Kakao Light Laktozmentes
Palate-destroyingly sweet, and if you can persevere through the onslaught, you will find that your efforts were in vain; there’s nothing else behind it. The flavor isn’t ‘bad’ per se, it’s just rather pointless with something this sweet (artificial or not). I think people are more willing to accept a less-sweet ‘Light’ product— it should’t be amped up with artificial sweeteners to make someone feel that they’re having something indulgent.
Oke! Kakaos Tej
Strong cocoa flavor, good consistency, and enough sweetness to represent proudly the claim of chocolate milk. It’s lacking a bit on the cream and salt sides, which would elevate the experience significantly. As it stands though, it’s a decent product with plenty of potential.
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.
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.
Kaufland Drink Mit Kakao
Water-thin and marked by an earthy/wheaty unpleasantness. Not recommended.
Immergut Kakao (Hamburg)
Incredibly thin, and still maintains a decently authentic flavor despite the watery texture. Much better than the Immergut Kakao I sampled in Frankfurt that had slightly different make up and stats. It’s cheap, adequately chocolaty, and drinkable in a pinch (considering the low calorie content).
McDonald's Milk Jug Fat Free Chocolate Milk
Watery with a powdery chocolate taste and feel. It’s identifiable as chocolate milk— that might be the most positive thing I can say about it. At least it is a relatively sensible option as far as chocolate milk goes. Ok, so that’s 2 positive things.
Hood Chocolate Milk Fat Free Milk
Thin and super smooth— and the positive qualities end there. It’s a sullen-looking gray color that delivers no enjoyable flavor characteristics. A mild sweetness is the only thing that registers on the palate, and although it’s smooth, it feels a little plasticky.
Hershey's Fat Free Chocolate Milk
Strong fake-sweetener taste (which is not an ingredient) that lingers well on into the aftertaste. Had me wishing I kept some Funyuns nearby to destroy the residual flavor in my mouth completely. Not up to the same standards as the other Hershey’s UHT products I’ve had.
Hood Simply Smart Fat Free Chocolate Milk
Artificially thick— an attempt at ‘enhancing’ fat free chocolate milk as having a creamy component— but it doesn’t work all that well. The chocolate flavor is a sour one, reminding me of that sour note you get from chocolate syrup. Also leaves a bit of a residue in the back of the throat, further reminding you of the inauthenticity.
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.
