I just found this at Walmart Supercenter. It is made by HOOD and is ATKINS APPROVED. But the best part is that it is WONDERFUL! They also have the dairy beverage in plain, lowfat and buttermilk, also low carb. I haven't tried those yet. As for the chocolate, here goes:

It is sweetened with Splenda, I didn't see any sugar alcohols.

But besides all the stats, it's YUMMY and it Cocolate Milk!! :yay:

Chocolate milk
 
Hello Mary,

I also found the chocolate milk at Walmart's yesterday. (Spartanburg, SC)

I agree with you that it is very good.
I bought both the regular and the chocolate milk and am pleased with both.
The regular milk has 3 grams carb per cup while the chocolate has two.

Low Carb Milk in Central PA, YIPPEE....
 
I found it in Walmart. It's dairy section with the other milk. I got the chocolate and it's yummy. Best of all, a deal at $2.50 a half gallon. They also have 2 kinds of Arnold bread multi and wheat. It's in the bread isle, can't remember how much and didn't buy any yet to try.

Anyone know of anywhere other than walmart that sells this product?

i tried the chocolate out today and it was too good. I had to stop myself from having another cup!

U've got to try this!
 
I was at walmart today and was grabbing some heavy cream when i saw this stuff called carb countdown. It's a type of low carb milk. They have regular, fat free and chocolate. Of course, being a former chocoholic, I bought the chocolate. It only has 3 net carbs per cup. Talk about yummy. I have so been craving chocolate milk and this is as close as it gets. It wasn't even very expensive, around 2 dollars and its an 8 cup package. Anyways, I would suggest you all try it.


Have a great day!

I'm going to look for this! My dad got off the diet mostly because he missed his darn milk.

I saw this when I went to the store on Tuesday. They didn't have chocolate, so I picked up the red container.


It was pretty good, but tasted a bit fake or powdery to me, but then again I'm a fresh milk nazi. It's a good substitute.

ETA: DUR! The kind I bought is more like whole milk. Hmm..I'll have to bug them about getting 2% in. Or chocolate.

acqua Wed, Oct-15-03 16:15

The chocolate is so good I drank 1/2 gallon of it in 3 days. I am not going to buy it again for awhile!!!!
