Chocolate and Vanilla Pudding (High Protein, Aldi)
Short Version:
Pretty tasty but kind of weird mouth feel (5/10)
Long Version:
The Vanilla is textured somewhere between a thick custard and jelly, so has a little bounce back when you scoop into it - unfortunately there isn’t a very strong vanilla flavour so it doesn’t add as much contrast as the chocolate needs. The chocolate is more silken and creamy, definitely more of a dark chocolate flavour. The two textures clash a little inside your mouth which makes it a little tiresome to eat. Also around halfway through the chocolate just gets too overpowering for me personally. However there isn’t that signature artificial protein flavour that sometimes these products can have upon first bite. If I was really craving chocolate it’s got a nice bitterness and not an overwhelming sweetness. It does have a little bit of an aftertaste that sticks around in your mouth but easily remedied with a glass of water or drink, which I recommend anyway as this can get a little sticky and tacky in your mouth and leave an almost dry-like feeling.
I don’t think this would be my first or second choice, but if I really was craving chocolate and wanted to up my protein intake for the day, I’d consider this.
