What You Should Know

You'd grab this in the plant-based milk aisle or refrigerated dairy-alternative section as an easy, ready-to-drink chocolate milk substitute for cereal, smoothies, or a quick snack. It gives a comforting, indulgent chocolate-milk vibe, but the pea-protein blend, added sugar, oils, emulsifiers and gums reveal industrial processing aimed at a creamy texture, long shelf/stability, and consistent flavor.
