Let me begin by saying three things -
#1) I am not a doctor or a nutritionist. This means I really don't know what the hell I am talking about. I
think what I'm doing is good, but what the hell do I know.
#2) I love chocolate milk. Yes I am 38 years old, what does that have to do with anything?
#3) I HATE skim milk. When I tried it years ago it tasted like water. It was vile, just terrible. People have been telling me it's better now, but I refused to try it again.
All this being said, I tried Farmland Skim Plus Chocolate Milk. Now I know I need protein and I can't drink any sodas. I have to be careful about caffeine so I have been avoiding ice tea. How much crystal light can you drink (the cherry/pomegranate juice one rocks, BTW). I'd been having Hersey's Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk, which I knew wasn't great for me but whatever. I drank it as a treat, limiting myself to one bottle every few days.
Then I looked at the Skim Plus stuff. It has zero grams of fat and 11 grams of protein, fewer calories than the Hersey's stuff too, almost by half. So I tried one, expecting to choke it down and never drink it again. I was floored, it tasted wonderful. It was better for me and tasted better. It was nothing like I remembered skim milk to taste like.
Yes, I know there are other Protein drinks out there...but please go back to my opening statement #2. I LOVE chocolate milk. I know Sophia may post within moments of my putting this up telling everyone why I am wrong and why we shouldn't drink this, but like I said in statement #1, what the hell do I know.
If your looking for something to drink that tastes good, has protein and isn't carbonated, you could do worse.
