“. Sure, the cocoa smelled good…but something seeemed somewhat amiss. Couldn’t put my finger on it. But the taste seemed to follw suite, naturally. Upfront, the drink is fairly cocoa-y, with a little earthiness from the almonds and cashews. And it’s creamy, too, not gritty or chalky or anything like other nut milks I’ve had. But on the back end is its shortcoming, I think. Whereas most other chocolate drinks would perhaps go for one last sugary push to notch another level of decadence, or would at leastr attmept to hold the cocoa-line, this one just kinda quits.
As in, still vaguely like chocolate, but not as much as from the outset. And certainly not as much as it could go for. In a way, it kinda tastes like somewhat disappointing cereal milk – just enough of a tease to give ya hope, just to let ya down.
I don’t mean this as a total knock. Certainly, for $2.29, it’s worth a shot, especially if you have dairy issues, or for whatever reason like my wife try to avoid cow milk. But to me at least, there’s a richness being sacrificed that’s not worth it unless you have a compelling reason to. “
