Ranking Chocolate Milk Brands From Worst To Best
BY MEGAN HAGEMAN
Yoo-Hoo
Because it is primarily comprised of water, whey, high fructose corn syrup, and just a smidgeon of dry milk and cocoa, Yoo-hoo is shelf-stable and is even sold in cans.
Ripple Plant-Based
Upon first sip, cocoa notes overtake your palate with a bitter vengeance and no bold creaminess to help mask it. Also, the liquid comes off thin and saturated.
Fairlife
Fairlife’s ultra-filtration process concentrates the protein and calcium of the fresh milk and removes half the natural sugars. That said, it’s replaced with sucralose.
Hershey's a2
This option has Hershey’s distinct taste and rich texture but also a sugar overload on the first sip. Fairlife still has it beat in terms of scale-breaking sweetness.
Nestlé Nesquik
This chocolate milk has been made with 100% real low-fat milk, and in our opinion, it's about as middle of the road as chocolate milks come.
