Review: Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino

Between the mysterious bottles of green goo and hefty prices, the small selection of beverages located in the produce department is quite possibly the least appealing section of the grocery store. Consider this mocha cappuccino from Bolthouse Farms. Its muted brown label, picture of chocolate, and protein boasts are reminiscent of unpleasant protein drinks that try to use chocolate to mask the bad taste. The whole package warns taste buds to anticipate a chalky blend of liquid with the flavor of crushed vitamin tablets. 

Despite a love of sweetened iced coffee beverages, I avoided it until someone gave one to me. Bolthouse Farms Mocha Cappuccino is delicious! The rich, creamy taste is like a thinner version of a milkshake. It is a very refreshing and satiating blend of 100% Arabica coffee, low-fat milk, and premium cocoa. The coffee flavor is apparent, but it mostly enriches the chocolate taste. One serving has a nice caffeine jolt and contains 60 mg of caffeine.

Since taking the photo for this post, Bolthouse Farms updated the mocha cappuccino bottle with a brighter label. Its beverage line includes juices, smoothies, protein drinks, and cafe-inspired blends. The drinks are available in small bottles and large 32-ounce containers. Shop for them in the refrigerated area near the produce in stores like Tom Thumb, Fiesta, and Wal-Mart.
