MrBeast Feastables Chocolate Milk

Cocoa and 'cooked milk' flavor engage in a contentious yet civil battle for supremacy, with each claiming a piece of the crown at different points in the sip. Sweetness, salt, and cream play their supporting roles competently and remain in balance throughout. Texture-wise, it feels satisfying and fully-burdened, without veering into sludgy/chalky territory that claims many a protein-fortified chocolate milk. The 'good' certainly outweighs the 'bad'-- there are several things to like here. Rarely do you find a 'whole' protein fortified chocolate milk that employs real sugar as a sweetener. I also applaud the commitment to Fair Trade and eradication of child labor in the chocolate industry. My reviews are solely on taste/drinking experience, however, this remains a tasty and portable (UHT) way to enjoy a few extra grams of protein. That 'cooked milk' or caramelized lactose flavor is inevitable in ultra-high-temp pasteurization; I get that it's a necessary evil when balancing flavor with distribution and shelf life limitations. 

Bei Hollow Farm Raw Chocolate Milk

Gorgeously well-balanced with a salty uprfont hit that sets the tone early for the delicous deluge that is about to follow. The cocoa flavor is prominent and slightly on the darker side of the continuum-- it's not overly sweet or candified, and comes across as an indulgently creamy treat that lasts well into the aftertaste. 

Quest Chocolate Protein Milkshake

Shockingly cloying, fake-feeling sweetness on the first sip, but your taste buds acclimate surprisingly quickly to it. For the protein-enriched genre, it's got a thinner-than-average viscosity which helps drinkability and makes the inevitable chalky sledgehammer feel at least like a rubber-tipped one. There's a noticeable saltiness which also aids in keeping the sweetness more in the background than it otherwise would be. By the time I've gone through all 414mL, I've warmed to the flavor a bit, and find it to be a half-step above the typical 'high-protein/low-carb' offering from a taste and drinking experience perspective.

Weigel's Ellie's Tracks Milk

Striking flavor-- I would describe it as chocolate-peanut-butter-salted-caramel, with emphasis on 'salted.' Not a bad thing for sure, since it's also very sweet-- the combination…just kinda 'works.' It's smooth, creamy, and drinkable from a texture standpoint, and very punchy on the taste side with all flavors identifiable in a single sip. I must say, I'm still not 100% certain what this is, or who Ellie is, but it's worth the calories. At the risk of a 40+ year-old trying to sound like a 20-year old-- this stuff kinda 'slaps.'

Quest Chocolate Protein Shake (2025)

Interesting initial pop of flavor-- a punchy (faux) sweetness, then a cocoa hit, then somewhat of a watery washout. It makes you feel 'something'-- whether that 'something' adds to or subtracts from your experience on this planet is certainly debatable. The watery finish ameliorates some of the (would-be) chalkiness and astringency, but it accentuates the gimmicky sweetener combination of Sucralose, invert sugar, and Stevia. Do it if you need the protein. Don't if you don't.

Nurri Chocolate Milk Shake

Thick for what you generally get out of a can, pleasantly bland (given the genre), and while it carries some faux-sweet aftertaste baggage, it's not good, but also not the the worst thing in the world. It's like "I have a sexist uncle who occasionally says something inappropriate" kind of baggage, rather than "my last two girlfriends mysteriously passed away in their sleep" baggage. I've had a whole 12-pack of this stuff to arrive at my honest opinion, and to some extent, I've warmed up to it. In short, it's simply got a more 'balanced' flavor and drinking experience than many of its peers. Consider it a hard-fought 2.0.

Member's Mark Chocolate High Protein Nutritional Shake

Beefily thick and chalky, with a phony-feeling (but thankfully under-stated) sweetness and a drab cocoa flavor. Part of what makes it drab is the fact that it's got hardly any saltiness, which makes the rest of the underwhelming flavor feel 'blunt' and one-dimensional. It doesn't drink great, but I've had worse. This is what you think it is, and if you think this is good, then it's not what you think it is. 

Nesquik Chocolate Chip Cookie Milk

Profiles like a cookies & cream flavor with a caramel-like wave that hits mid-sip and sweeps it into another category-- evidently 'chocolate chip cookie.' The aftertaste tapers to an almost fruitiness, that, for me, had hints of canteloupe which I'm sure is unintentional. It's not great, albeit highly congruent with the Nesquik brand.

The Sebago House Dairy Raw Chocolate Milk

Chocolaty and sweet upfront, with a secondary pop of flavor in the mid-part of the sip, and concluding with a lithe, creamy finish that carries the cocoa flavor through to the aftertaste. It's a unique cocoa profile that starts and ends on the sweet side-- for me, the gorgeous, raw, silky base is the MVP.

High View Farm Raw Chocolate Milk

Decadent raw, Golden Guernsey cream flavor adorned with a uniquely vanilla-gilded cocoa flavor that warms the soul like post-shoveling hot chocolate on a snow day. There's a confident sophistication about it-- simple ingredients but layered flavor, and an absolute pleasure to take in small sips-- each one a tiny little gift. Can't say enough about the indulgent texture and lasting flavor it leaves behind.

Oakhurst Chocolate Whole Milk (2025)

Feels 'safer' than the earlier 'Premium Chocolate Milk' from Oakhurst-- it's a decent whole chocolate milk that doesn't rock the boat in any particular direction, and is well-balanced and flavorful enough to do its label justice. The cream is there to deliver the cocoa, sugar, and salt-- it doesn't have much to say of its own-- which is expected for a homogenized product. I don't hate it for that-- I don't hate it at all-- it's quite good in isolation, which is more than I can say for myself.

Oakhurst Lowfat Chocolate Milk (2025)

A paint-by-numbers lowfat chocolate milk with just enough saltiness to add a façade of dimensionality, before it hastily washes away. Average in most respects, just downslope of the bell curve peak, surely gazing down at what might have been were you born somewhere else.

Smiling Hill Farm Chocolate Milk (2025)

Powerfully sweet and chocolaty, with a dense thickness that epitomizes that 'chocolate-milk-as-melted-chocolate-ice-cream' paradigm. If you have tastebuds, this will find them, and work them out Jack LaLanne style, until you're doubled over and pining for bland food. The heavy-handed sweetness is tempered a bit by a significant salty presence that comes through in the latter third of the sip. This is amped-up, and a fun ride while it lasts.

Harris Dairy Farm Chocolate Milk (2025)

Like an angry sumo wrestler-- girthy, well-balanced, and a tad salty. This very much fits a chocolate milk ideal that many hold dear-- its creamy, beefy base does its part to carry a punchy, heavy cocoa flavor across your facial threshold. The sweet and salty components vow for supremacy in a bit of a shoving match, and the salt comes out on top, which nicely accentuates the cream flavor in the home stretch. Grappler-metaphors aside, this is an indulgent treat where a little goes a long way, and a lot goes...well... a lot goes wrong if you drink too much (and you'll want to! :).

L.P. Bisson & Sons Chocolate Milk

Very different from its raw counterpart-- this has better sweet/salty balance, less cocoa flavor, slightly smoother, and has a prominent vanilla quality that lasts from start to finish. It's nicely unique in terms of what it brings to the table, and ultimately profiles like a vanilla milk. 

L.P. Bisson & Sons Raw Chocolate Milk

Sweet chocolate flavor nearly dips into 'candified' territory, as it lacks a stronger salty presence to help balance it out. It drinks quickly, thanks to its silky raw base that flows downhill like it's got somewhere to be. Attractive visuals definitely draw the eye when looking in the dairy case-- I like it, but could love it with a reigned-in sweetness and darker, more mature chocolate hit. 

Houlton Farms Dairy Chocolate Milk

Smooth and nicely balanced from a flavor standpoint-- the cocoa is prominent, sweet, and tasty, and there's enough of a salty snap to curb any aftertaste shenanigans. Texture-wise, it's got a solid body for 2%, and it feels appropriate and capable of delivering a well-rounded, reduced-fat experience. 

Creamy Acres Creamery Raw Chocolate Milk

Delicious creamy, raw body that carries a lightly malty cocoa flavor with minimal sweetness to detract from the experience. It's confidently under-sweet, and once the cocoa flavor fades, the true star of the show is revealed-- a delicious, dare-I-say buttery back end, with a grassy homage to its roots in the aftertaste. It might not be as 'sexy' to you as it reads here, and sure, it could easily shoulder a heavier cocoa presence, but that can develop over time. This isn't dating material, it's marriage material.

Tessier Farm Raw Chocolate Milk

Lightly malty and somewhat understated cocoa flavor that glides effortlessly along the deluge of smooth, creamy, raw milk. Due to the lovely thin viscosity, it distributes evenly and quickly in the mouth-- leaving you ready for more just mere seconds after your latest sip. It's appropriately under-sweet as well, which evokes a more deliberate, mature approach-- perhaps at odds with its relatively quick dissipation. All in all, it's a lovely way to spend a few moments, just be sure to shake it up in between each sip!
