Java Monster : Vanilla Light

Java Monster : Vanilla Light

Light is right. I can’t detect any Vanilla. This Monster tastes like milk with a little coffee (Java) and sugar; the can takes a shot at Starbucks by boasting how it has “way less”; added. You could probably match its exact flavor with the correct ratio of just those three ingredients, but it “tastes good” as advertised.

Super Enrgy : Mango Peachpop

Super Enrgy : Mango Peachpop

This Super Enrgy drink isn’t bad at first sip; it does taste like Mango Peach; but the more you drink the worse it gets. The can promotes the fact that there are “no artificial sweeteners”; it’s “made with monk fruit and stevia”, but that’s part of the problem. It’s not sweet enough to counter its nasty beer-like aftertaste.

Dannon Plain Whole Milk Yogurt

Dannon Plain Whole Milk Yogurt

You’d think this Yogurt would taste disgusting. It’s basically just solidified Milk, albeit Whole (real) Grade A milk, with bacteria (cultures) in it. Even with no sugar or any other ingredient to sweeten it; just living beings with friendly names like S Thermophilus; it’s actually okay. Imagine the kind with the Fruit On The Bottom before you get to the bottom.

Chobani Zero Sugar : Strawberry Cheesecake

Chobani Zero Sugar : Strawberry Cheesecake

Why even bother calling this Strawberry Cheesecake? It’s a bad idea as far as marketing and promotion goes because it tastes nothing like it and will inevitably irk those of us anticipating the flavor.

What does it taste like? Well, it’s hard to say; certainly not cheesecake or even strawberries. It’s mildly sweet though and pleasant enough to eat as a healthy alternative to sugar yogurt.
