Could use a dose of cream and salt, but otherwise a competent beverage that delivers chocolate flavor in liquid form.
Nutramino Protein XL Chocolate
Not bad flavor at all, especially for a protein-fortified drink. The only criticism is the texture, which is on the thick and starchy side (probably unavoidably so). Overall, a pleasant surprise.
Pucko Dark Chokladmjölk
Like Cocio Dark— gorgeous aesthetics, fun to shake up and watch settle, and even more fun to drink. It’s noticeably thicker than the Original version, but definitely more chocolaty as well.
Maxim Protein Boost Rich Chocolate Taste
Dead bland… No sweetness, salt, cream, cocoa— just a thick, chalky fluid that tricked me into consuming it. Won't happen again.
Arla Protein Chocolate Flavoured Milk Drink 50% Less Sugar
Primarily a sharp, nearly bitter wheaty taste delivered through a chalky base that does it no favors. If I had to drink this ‘after sport’ like the package suggests, I would have to seriously reconsider my desire to be involved in sports.
Arla Protein Chocolate Flavoured Milk Drink
No noticeable difference from the Arla Protein Choklad Mjolkdryck Sport: Sweet and powdery— leaves a noticeable residue in the mouth post-swallow that is unpleasant. The chocolate flavor is there but is hindered by the texture, making it feel less authentic.
Arla Protein Choklad Mjölkdryck Lactose Free
Could use some salt, but overall a pleasant surprise in that it was potable. Only 45 calories and 4.5g sugar, with 5.3g protein per 100mL-- the stats are definitely better than the taste, but you can't have it all.
Arla Protein Choklad Mjölkdryck Sport
Sweet and powdery— leaves a noticeable residue in the mouth post-swallow that is unpleasant. The chocolate flavor is there but is hindered by the texture, making it feel less authentic.
Fast Protein Shake Chocolate
Highly inauthentic flavor, foamy/starchy texture-- there's nothing about this that I would recommend.
Skånemejerier Choklad Mjölk
Smooth as silk, and is so far the only other chocolate milk that has reminded me of Nesquik-- which has a very unique flavor. I prefer the texture of this much more than the many Nesquik concoctions as it feels much more ‘true' and ‘milky’. Overall, a decent experience.
Gainomax Recovery Drink Chocolate
The flavor and texture are ok for a protein-enriched product, but nowhere good enough to warrant the extreme 100 calories & 16g carbs per 100mL expense. I get that this is supposed to be for those who want to ‘gain’—but for those who are looking for taste alone, this should be avoided. Maltodextrin as the second ingredient is not something I've seen before.
Pucko Original Chokladmjölk
Highly reminiscent of Cocio Original-- which is not a bad thing. It manages that same unique flavor despite having 3 additional ingredients that Cocio doesn't (salt, calcium carbonate, flavor). Nicely thin texture, very drinkable, settles in the bottle and in the esophagus like chocolate milk should.
Njie ProPud Protein Milkshake Chocolate Flavor
Unique drink— thick(ish) but very smooth, nicely light sweetness but more of a hazelnutty flavor than a chocolaty one. Reminds me a bit of a more sensible Zott Monte, but not in a bad way.
Protein Pro Shake Chocolate Flavor
A flavor reminiscent of skunky, under-sweetened Ensure, with a torpidly gummy texture. Choking to death on this stuff would be an awful way to die-- for me it lies somewhere between ‘open water shark attack' and ‘getting slowly consumed feet-first by a runaway escalator.’
Arla Choklad Mjölk Dryck 50% Less Sugar
Unsweet, barely chocolaty, and a slight metallic aftertaste-- none of which are particularly egregious, but it's not a package I'd recommend for flavor pursuit.
Matilde Sport 50% Less Sugar
Clearly, Matilde felt it necessary to concoct a cross between the ‘Mini’ 50% less sugar version and the ‘Sport’ extra protein version. In this case, you get the worst of both: super-chalky, nasty texture (Sport) and the gutter runoff flavor (Mini) that would make tree bark taste like peanut butter fudge by comparison.
REMA 1000 Kakao Maelk
Great balance of thin, creamy, and uniquely flavorful. It contains hazelnut flavor, which is subtle and doesn't overpower the chocolate— like drinkable Nutella, just with a lot less sweetness.
REMA 1000 Kakao Skummetmaelk
The package is modestly better than the sum if its parts— it fits together nicely and definitely shouldn't offend anyone.
Matilde Favorit Kakao Skummetmaelk
Bland with a slightly nutty flavor that is an improvement over the sour/dirty flavor of the original. Considering the paucity of sugar in this product, it's not bad, but compared with normal chocolate milk, it’s still noticeably behind. Tastes better than expected, but my expectations could have stood tall beneath a pregnant tick.
Milbona Choco Milk
I would describe it as creamy and nutty— pretty unique, especially for a boxed multi-pack drink. Plenty of flavor to go around, and the residue left in the mouth afterward isn't as bad as the term ‘residue’ suggests.
