Rating 3

• I didn’t mind the texture. I did not like the color / look. Not much flavor. A little more sweet would have helped. Tasted like a veggie smoothie.
• I don’t like the flavor.
• It doesn’t taste bad, but has very little flavor. It does have an after taste. I could drink it if I had to, but would not seek it out.

• It has a strange flavor and appearance, even after swirling.

• It seemed to have an after taste that reminded me of a freshly painted room.
• No instant flavor
• Too much cocoa flavor that drowns every other aspect

Drink B

Rating 1

• I did not like the flavor at all. There was a leftover after taste.
• It tasted like diluted, artificially-sweetened milk.
• Pale color, taste was dull, and no sweetness at all. I would have preferred skim milk to this flavor.

• I did not like the taste, and it does not look creamy or smooth.
• I like the coconut flavor, but the vanilla addition seemed weird. That wasn’t the biggest detractor, though – by far the biggest issues are it is too thin and watery.

• It tastes like coconut. I’m not fond of coconut.
• Other than the coconut flavoring, it tastes very watery and bland.
• The texture is a little slimy. The flavor is a little bland and almost has a salty flavor to it. It leaves a woody after taste.

• Kind of watery and tastes like coconut very strongly
• Okay taste, good texture

Rating 5
