\"Ripple<\/a><\/p>\n

If you told me a decade ago I’d be drinking pea milk and enjoying it, I’d laugh and tell you I’m not into that gross stuff. Then after explaining it’s p-e-a and not p-e-e, I’d again laugh and tell you I’m not into that gross stuff.<\/p>\n

I don’t care for the pea’s texture, flavor, and ability to affect a princess\u2019 sleep. I avoid chicken pot pies because of the chance I’ll eat one and I always throw out that one freeze dried pea you get with every Cup Noodles. <\/p>\n

So it’s odd I ended up buying a bottle of dairy-free Chocolate Ripple Milk, which is made with flavorless pea protein. It\u2019s not the green peas you\u2019ll find swimming in a chicken a la king, it\u2019s yellow peas. But it\u2019s still peas. Although I don\u2019t care for the vegetable, I might\u2019ve bought this so that I can say in a pretentious tone, \u201cOh, you drink almond milk? Well, have you tried pea milk? No? You should try it someday.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to the Ripple website, a cup of Chocolate Ripple has more protein and less sugar than an equal serving of chocolate soy milk. Plus, it provides Omega-3 fatty acids. <\/p>\n

Ripple is available in original, unsweetened, vanilla, and chocolate flavors. I haven\u2019t tried any of the others, but this chocolate one reminded me of reduced fat chocolate milk. If you gave some to a kid and told them it came from a cow, they\u2019d believe you. But I guess if you put cocoa into any milk it\u2019ll do a great job at hiding whatever it\u2019s made from, probably even pee milk.<\/p>\n

While I enjoyed its flavor, I noticed an oddity with its texture. It initially was creamy in my mouth, but then it became thinner. However, I noticed it because I was swishing it around in my mouth, like some pretentious wine taster or Listerine burn lover. But I imagine most folks won\u2019t notice since their mouth to throat transit time will be much quicker than mine.<\/p>\n

There’s also the issue of price. Forty-eight ounce bottles retail for five dollars. A half gallon (64 ounces) of other dairy-free milks are about the same price or cheaper.<\/p>\n

Overall, I do see myself buying Chocolate Ripple Milk again, if its price comes down. When it does, it\u2019ll be the only way I\u2019ll consume peas. <\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Tastes like reduced fat chocolate milk. More protein and less sugar than chocolate soy milk. Provides Omega-3 fatty acids. Conversation starter with vegetarian or vegan? Listerine burn.
\nCons:<\/b> More expensive than other dairy-free milks. Slightly changing texture is odd. Peas. Listerine burn. Bragging about all the dairy-free milks you’ve had.<\/p>\n

*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. You’ll probably pay less than I did.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
