What to mix with Vanilla Protein?

I love my chocolate Protein, I have found so much to do with it, but the vanilla is giving me fits. I have a whole bunch that I don't want to waste, but I just can't find anything that makes it taste better.

What do you add your vanilla protein to?

i put bananas and strawberries. I even tried puttin some cocoa powder, tasted pretty good. Are you mixing with milk or water? i tried with water and it was disgusting...so i add 1% milk :smile:

I mix it in cream of wheat, oatmeal, vanilla pudding, for the pudding mix 2 scoops in 1 cup of water then substitute that for 1 of the cups of milk the mix calls for. Pudding comes out great that way.

I make all sorts of Herbalife shakes (using skim milk) and then just use one scoop of vanilla and one of the other flavor I like - be it chocolate, Cookies and cream, tropical fruit....it tempers the vanilla taste a lot, as I have found I don't like it a lot either. I also use a tbs of sugar free pudding - either chocolate, white chocolate, caramel, cheesecake....there are tons you can play with and they all add a great flavor!

One of my other faves is to use a scoop of vanilla herbalife, one of tropical fruit herbalife (I buy them of ebay) and then add in orange juice, a small scoop of frozen yogurt, and a few frozen berries...YUMMY! It has been fun to experiment to see what I can come up with!

I mix my vanilla protein with banana and peanut butter. It adds extra protein and gives it yummy flavor.

I mix mine with either chocolate or vanilla Soy Slender. Extra protein, only 1g carbs, and makes it creamier, more like a milkshake. SS makes cappuccino flavor too, but I'm not a coffee person so I haven't tried that one.

I add 1/4 scoop to chobani greek yoghurt (peach flavor is my favorite), plus some splendra (fat free is a bit sour). I also add Benefiber to maintain regularity. Very yummy. For the mushie stage after surgery and fills I moved it to a larger container and used a stick blender to mince the fruit.

Great post... I have a TON of vanilla (mostly because I don't care for chocolate) and have added it to some things, but overall, it's not very good. PLEASE, post some non-banana ideas! (apparently, I no longer like bananas post-op).

Good luck everyone!

Orange Juice. Yummy.

Try the powdered Peanut Butter and mix the vanilla and chocolate mix together, blend and it is wonderful. good luck.

I usually mix mine with skim milk or almond milk as I'm not a fan of vanilla with Water either...

Some things I've added: fruit (mostly blueberries and strawberries), pumpkin spice with a lil splenda, Peanut Butter, SF Divinci syrups (I have irish creme, hazelnut, caramel, and raspberry), SF general foods coffee...

:blushing:

I've mixed Peanut Butter, No suger added Nesquick, and several other ingredients with it before. I also mix mine with Almond Milk... lower carbs than skim milk. But here are two of my favorite blends so far

1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, Almond Milk, Nonfat Blackberry yogurt, 3 pineapple chunks and a few ice cubes, then blend it.

And

1 scoop vanilla protein, Almond Milk, and Nonfat Lemon yogurt, ice cubes then blend.... reminded me of a lemon pie the first time I had one.

I do the same as latin does, with strawberries and bananas and my whey protein. I make a delicious smoothie which is my desert and with splenda it is absolutely delicious and satifies my sweet tooth. I have a hard time getting protein in at times and this helps with my daily protein.

I was experimenting this morning and came up with an interesting combo...

1pkg NSA Vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast powder

1 scoop Vanilla Protein powder

8oz Almond Milk

1pkg Alpine SF Apple Cider Mix

I mixed it with ice and it reminded me of an apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I drank every drop!

go take a look at theworldaccordingtoeggface.com she has some great ideas

I had the same exact problem. Here's what i did.

At my local health food store there is something called "Cocao," which works great.

Here is a link on some information:

Cocoa solids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is the site for the product i get:

Organic Cacao - Certified Organic, Raw, Kosher - Navitas Naturals

We're talking 40 calories for 2.5 tablespoons. I usually just add 1 tablespoon. It's pretty much unsweetened cocoa powder, but added to a vanilla Protein shake, it makes it all good!

Just something to think about. Good luck! :)
