Product: So Delicious Mint Chocolate Coconut Milk – $3.99+
Minty. Refreshing. Smooth. Chocolate.
Need I say more?
I’ve always been a fan of the mint holiday flavors that are introduced during the holidays to the dairy alternative drinks. This year, however, So Delicious, the makers of coconut milk, released a pair of holiday flavors for fans (and newbies) to try and enjoy. One was Nog (vegan) and the other…Mint Chocolate.
Eggnog has never appealed to me, but mint chocolate…that’s the ultimate combination if you ask me. A couple years ago, I tried out the Silk mint chocolate soy milk and absolutely loved it. So, when I saw that So Delicious unveiled their own version of this holiday favorite, I couldn’t stop myself from purchasing a quart of it.
A quart was not nearly enough. Trust me.
I poured it one evening to enjoy with my dessert (a gluten-free cookie, for those inquisitive minds). And it was love at first sip. This mint chocolate drink is leaps and bounds ahead of its competitors. The coconut milk adds a richness to it, without making it too heavy. And the mint chocolate flavor is so smooth. I literally started off with a sip, then chugged my glass and went back for more. And at only 50 calories per serving, why not go a little crazy? Besides, it’s the holidays. Treat yourself right.
In addition to drinking it straight, or warming it up with hot chocolate, I also used it in my baking. I make a fantastic gluten-free chocolate scone with dark and mint chocolate morsels, so instead of my usual almond milk to mix, I added the So Delicious Mint Chocolate Coconut Milk to it and it boosted the flavor just enough without it being overpowering. I was in foodie heaven every breakfast where I noshed on one.
It really is too bad this holiday flavor doesn’t stick around all year. I’d buy it up year round. I love mint chocolate and hate that it gets limited time in the spotlight as a holiday flavor.
So Delicious is known for a quality product as it is. But they really stepped it up with their Mint Chocolate Coconut Milk this holiday season. I can only hope that it makes a reappearance in 2012. This vegan drink will have you rushing to the grocery store for more. But good luck…because this year I had trouble finding it and the local grocery stores seemed to have trouble keeping it in stock. It’s no wonder though…it’s amazing!
Treat your taste buds to a mint chocolate treat. Seriously. And get your hands on this product before it disappears until next year. Sadly, this is only in our lives for a limited time.
