Review of 'Silk' Pure Almond almondmilk (Dark Chocolate)

Silk -- Pure Almond almondmilk (Dark Chocolate) (vegan)
Overall rating: 3.5/5
Summary: not very very clear on the dark chocolate flavour, but definitely very chocolatey. It's perfectly sweetened, smooth, and refreshing. There's a slight salty taste every so often that I didn't really care for. I'd recommend it for taste and healthy ingredients, but wouldn't buy it again myself simply because there's not much nutrition other than the fortified vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients: almondmilk (filtered water, almonds), cane sugar, cocoa (Dutch Process), sea salt, locust bean gum, natural flavour, sunflower lecithin, gellan gum.

Okay, so sure, the ingredients aren't at all bad. However, for 120 calories, there's not much protein or fiber. Instead, it's mostly sugars and sodium with added vitamins and minerals. I'd prefer to buy something with more naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, more protein, and more fiber. I would recommend this for the great taste and good ingredients, but likely won't personally buy it again.
