Any Good Vanilla Protein Powder Recomendation?



Recommended Posts

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 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

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!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
