I bought this, and the reviews were right...it tastes awful! Did anyone figure out a way to make this palatable?

Haha sorry you had to go through the experience of tasting this awful product! I have long since given up on this stuff- the only thing I've ever heard someone use it in and find it tolerable was in a chocolate protein smoothie (they wanted a hint of pb flavor) and even with all that flavor/sugar covering it up/helping it the person still could barely stand it. I threw mine out, it just wasn't worth trying to save for me. =p maybe slathering Nutella or something over it would help? (But uh...that sorta cancels out the whole point of this zero-calorie spread, doesn't it? Lol)

The only way to improve it is to feed it to a dog, then eat it after it comes out the other end.

You might try the peanut butter with raisin spread by Walden Farms. I recall that flavor was no where near as horrendous. (It's been a few years since I had anything Walden in the house...that's how bad some of their items are!)

It's completely tasteless, and dry. So if it goes bad, it seems it would take a really long time. I noticed somebody comment that it give this person "tummy gas". I haven't noticed anything like that and just finished a whole container of it.

Hi Josh. Its kind of like a graham cracker flavor. I mix mine in a blender bottle. It would be smoother if you used a regular blender, maybe making taste even better. Its not an overwhelming flavor. It took a few sips to get used to, I wasn't sure at first, but I like it a lot now. I hope this helps :)

I have mixed it with water in a pinch and instant coffee! I have mixed with orange juice and it tasted great! I also usually add some fresh or frozen berries, banana and or ice. Chocolate Royale is the best! ~K

Definitely not flavored. It also doesn't mix well in water for me. I heard someone else say they put it in a spoonful of yogurt to eat it instead, but I haven't tried it yet.

It's pretty tart .. I tried mixing it in yogurt but it definitely altered the taste. I now just mix it in water

not much of a flavor. I think they recommend putting this in water. I tried that but it does not taste that well. The best way I take this is put it in a little apple sauce or yougurt, take it all in one or two bites, then eat the rest of the applesauce or whatever. That's the way I like it best. Quick, easy, painless!

Yes me too, I wrote a review about it. The taste is terrible also. I had been buying from Amazon though so I am not sure why it is suddenly different.

Taste is not bad, I sometimes add honey to taste better. You should try that!

I LOVE the old raspberry- the 'new and improved' flavor is awful. It is way too sweet and now has a sweetner wang to it I camnot stand. I think their test market must have been a bunch of 12 year olds. I have given it to several friends to try and no one so far has liked it. Please write to Alacer to tell them how you feel!

The quality of the mix is awesome, but it doesn't taste good. My boyfriend usually adds a dash of mio or some fruity flavored drink to help with the taste :) hope this helps!

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

There is not much taste to it at all. I just mix it with a little water. If there is any taste it would be a little sweet. Good Stuff.

Jerry....Sorry for your bad experience....this is the review I left...not sure about others but I agree with you....MY review: The write up for this cocoa sounded so yummy! Well...it was not...tasted like card board....could not taste the Caramel or salt not much of anything....we took candy kisses and added to each cup till we used all the pods. This is a great idea and sounds wonderful ...they just need to work on the quality of the product. I would not recommend this unless you like a weak cup of cocoa.

While I DO love this product, and intend to continue taking it for years to come... The taste is horrid. If flavor is a factor, skip this product

It probably says that because it tastes awful. I understand it may be just me.

I don't know but I didn't like the taste at all! I won't be buying it again.
