Alpro chocolate soya milk

[Darcy]

Okay so even though I'm not a huge fan of refined sugar I am on a mission for better recover so figured I'd listen to you all and give this a go.

The cartons I picked up say "NEW 15% less sugar"!

How does that affect it's optimal recovery ratio!? Or is it not really enough to make a difference??

I wonder what prompted the change...

The ratio is still optimal but you just need to drink 15% more
Alpro aren't the only brand to sell chocolate soya milk either.

[Darcy]

Well that's annoying because the cartons are the same size

Who else does chocolate soya milk?!

I'd really like to make my own, actually...

Soy milk + cocoa powder + blender?

Not going to be as tasty.

[Darcy]

Where is that from Baldy and how does it compare?

Maybe cocoa powder, soya milk, some sort of syrup (date?), pinch of salt. Maybe that could be mixed on the go without a blender.

Although coming in a handy carton obviously wins on the convenience front. I wish they did a mid-size carton!

Maybe still not as thick/tasty and also lacking the vitamins (depending on soya milk used - my usual Tesco's organic doesn't have them).

that new 15% less thing is BULLSHIT!!!!!

All i can see is that they added 15% more water!!!

RIP OFF!!!

but nevertheless, that is what i will continue to drink. Will i now become 15% more ripped?

I get it from ASDA cos its 94p a litre. Lidl used to have an ever cheaper one but they stopped selling it for some reason.
It tastes great, not too sweet almost like dark chocolate milk.
Most days I drink at least 1l of soya milk probably more, feels like a rip off paying top price for alpro when I am just going to down it.

This is the holy grail of post workout soya drinks, I woudn't mind paying alpro pirces for it.

[Talyn]

I'm yet to try this reduced sugar version so I hope it's still as good.

Agreed. Macchiato is the ultimate.

Ironically, almost impossible to find in this country, yet it's made here

Someone should write them a strongly worded letter.

Hmmm yeah is it also 15% of anything else? Like protein or calories? Obviously they wouldn't advertise that..... Well, maybe the calories!

[JP]

protein and calories have dropped 10%, fat is the same.

so if anything, this should be increasing their products because they can sell more water at a premium

Yeah it's annoying. And I bet the price will not be dropping by 15%.. Bastards!!

Oh but I can't stay mad with alpro chocolate soya I like it too much

[Big Good Wolf]

I've been buying this stuff.



They do banana and strawberry flavours too.
I thought I'd better double check the ingredients before I recommend it and found it's got D3 in it. Isn't D3 the one that is frequently not vegan ?

[Darcy]

I am drinking some now. It tastes watery! Probably entirely psychological. Thanks guys
