Does this vanilla have a good aroma? I had a bad experience with another brand of ground vanilla bean, when I opened the bag, it had an awful smell and taste.

The aroma is good. Smells just like vanilla should. I use this in ice cream mostly and it delivers a great taste. I also used it in a homemade chocolate recipe and it too was well received as tasting great.

I have tried both the chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate is OK, but the vanilla is amazing. I could down like 20 of them (not that I'd advise that).

Patricia - I don't know how to answer that question. We bought our beans to use in making vanilla extract as a giveaway for this Christmas. So, we have a lot of Smirnoff vodka bottles with beans in them "steeping" until the late fall. I will say the beans arrived in very good condition and do have really good flavoring. Does that answer your question? Wes

It smells like a lighter version of vanilla extract. I've used it for some baking like in lemon bars and muffins. I also like using it in homemade frosting.

I mix mine with a lot of fruit and some coconut oil, so that wasn't a problem. It just doesn't taste very good--not much vanilla flavor

Hello, I was not able to replicate the issue you experienced. As long as your order contains only vanilla beans, we will honor free ground shipping inside the US.

The label says "100% Ground Vanilla Beans Contents: approx 7 - 8 vanilla beans Natural - Gluten-free - GMO-free - Allergen-free - No sugar added - No color added" I believe that it is pure vanilla beans...there is no indication that there is anything else mixed in. However, I found that there was very little aroma or flavor to the product.

No it doesn't taste much like Vanilla. This stuff is really good quality, so I've basically sacrificed taste in order to drink this. I add a little bit of cinnamon and it helps. There are so many chemicals and bad things in other protein powders so I'd much rather be putting this in my body! I've been drinking it for months and now I'm so used to it, it's just routine. I imagine if you use a blender and make a smoothie with it, it'll be great. I just use it with water and cinnamon.

I get the Vanilla Bean so I can mix it with unsweetened cocao, strawberries or whatever flavor I want. I only mix it with water in my shaker cup and some ice and it mixes very well. The taste is good and not chalky at all. It's not thick, but when I want it thick, I put it in the freezer to make it like a shake. I does have a sweet taste, but it is not overly sweet.

I can only smell my vanilla ones if I get very close and whiff and then it's just a subtle smell (even when they first arrived, there as only a subtle fragrance). Maybe you just happened to get ones that were intensely perfumed at the factory -- hope they fade out for you!

Yes. I was surprised. I live in New Mexico where it use to be sold but no longer is. My daughter suggested I look on the internet and thankfully I found it. I was skeptical until I got it, but, yes, its the real vanilla.

I have only tried the vanilla plum. So I won't be much help. But as much as I like mine I can't believe any would be bad. Just your choice of smell

Personally, I did not care for the very stong, in my opinion, vanilla smell. I am very sensitive to some smells. I am using the cream on my feet. Seems to be working well there.

Good question and I just tossed the bag. I think not. This isn't my favorite vanilla powder but if you need a fair amount it is not to bad.

Tastes pretty good in my opinion...like vanilla and whatever you mix it w/if anything. I'm usually in a hurry so just dump in a few organic frozen blueberries or whatever I have. I also plan on trying a new one I just found out about called SFH...check it out at www.SFH.com

I just took mine off the mantle and put on the end table. Couldn't smell it until it was right next to me You can still smell a faint but nice vanilla. I've had mine for over a year.

Try another flavor. The Vanilla one is pretty boring/bland but the majority of the shakes like Cookies and Cream are amazing. Also, maybe its expired. I would get my products from an actual Herbalife distruibutor.
