Hey all. I've been on a search for a good tasting vanilla powder and have come up pretty empty. So far I've tried Chike and unjury and found that they taste like crap. I was hoping for something close to a "vanilla ice cream" type of flavor and less chemical flavor. I've been stuck on only chocolate, which isn't terrible but if I were to pick an ideal flavor it would definitely be vanilla over chocolate in other circumstances.

I haven't really gone to other flavors as I think they would taste even more artificial. If I want variation I typically blend my own berries or banana in, but getting a vanilla base would be awesome.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I like Muscle Milk Creamy Vanilla.

I just bought sample packs of Syntrax Nectar and the Vanilla Bean Torte and the chocolate truffle are AMAZING!! You can order off Amazon.com or ebay. I am very picky when it comes to protein drink stuff and this stuff I would recommend to everyone!!

I use Nutren Optimum from Nestle

Nutren Optimum powder is a nutritionally complete powder that can be easily mixed with Water and used as an oral nutritional supplement or a complete diet. It is available in Vanilla and chocolate flavours. Nutren Optimum contains whey Protein, which is easily emptied from the stomach, supporting protein synthesis (muscles and immune function) in the elderly and leaving them less full. Nutren Optimum contains 30 key Vitamins and minerals.

Jay Robb has a good vanilla. I've bought single-serve packets at my grocery store.

Also hear muscle milk cake batter is delicious. Wanting to try that next.

Let us know what you try and how you like it.

I agree with Cindy. Costco's Muscle Milk vanilla is pretty good. It's OK with water and if you can stand the calories,

even better with skim milk. They have a lot of other high protein stuff, too.

I actually like the Body Fortress from Walmart. You can get the 2lb jug for less then 20 bucks.

I take 8oz of skim or reduced fat milk and a bit of ice along with the poweder and 1 packet of splenda and it comes out great. I sometimes add a banana or some bluberries to change it up. Good stuff.

I find the unjury vanilla leaves a bit of an after taste but Unjury's chocolate is pretty decent.

I think think Matrix Simply Vanilla is really good along with their other flaovors. It can be desolved in milk or water and is available in 2 or 5 pounds. It can be found at the Vitamin Shoppe or other online baritatric shops

Isopure zero carb...love all their flavors, minimum protein taste!

I am another fan of body fortress. Although I've never tried the vanilla, but the chocolate and the chocolate pb are goooood!

I was told NOT to use muscle milk. I use the protein powder from Target. Yes Target. The 5lb jug is under $20 too. I was just told by my nutritionist that I can add in flavored extract if I wanted to. But an 8 oz shake made with half water and half skim is delicious. And NO aftertaste.

Also, once you find a vanilla powder you like, you can use a tablespoon of sugar free pudding or jello to change thr flavor...for example, vanilla protein with sf orange jello=orange creamsicle!
