Bought vanilla flavor & it's SO so sweet, even when mixed in a green smoothie. Lemon juice helps a bit. Any advice? Should I switch to unflavored?

I personally don't find it overly sweet and only use half a scoop in my smoothies.

Can't help with that one. I use chocolate with banana, pnut butter and vanilla. Delicious.

I did. It helped with the sweet. I also bought the unsweetened and mixed with vanilla- my preference above either alone.

IMO the vanilla is better than the chocolate. I have not tried the strawberry though.

I recommend using any flavor you prefer but with Vanilla milk. Each flavor tastes like what it says in the form of a powder. I recommend banana cream with very vanilla soymilk

Vanilla, but it's not a strong vanilla. I mix with apple juice and don't taste anything but apples.

I have the chocolate kind and mix it with almond milk and honey and use a hand blender. Or, sometimes I put it with frozen bananas, blueberries, vanilla protein powder and almond milk in a blender and make a delicious breakfast smoothie:)

I added an entire overripe mango to the shake, and it still tasted like grass. Go with the vanilla... it's a lot better, especially with bananas or pineapple.

Sharon, I've been using this kind of vanilla since my mother-in-law brought it back for me from Mexico. I've searched all over for a new source and finally found it at candybin. If you want the clear vanilla, as I did, just send an email to candybin as requested and they'll make sure you get it. The vanilla comes carefully wrapped in bubble wrap. Enjoy!!! Best vanilla for your chocolate creations.

I have vanilla only. I bought it because it was cheaper than chocolate. I have one case I have not opened yet. I like the drinks that is why I buy them and I am diabetic.

i think, you should stick with whole milk, add hershey's syrup ( chocolate ) or carnation chocolate flavored powder, 1/2 cup ( or more ) breyer's vanilla ice cream. put it in a blender at high speed for 20-30 seconds. this will get you kudos from friends and family. always glad to help out. the olde scotsman

I just don't like the chocolate for some reason, it's artificial tasting and didn't sit in my stomach well. What I do is use the vanilla mixed with skim milk in a blender, and I add a heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder. That gives it a really good chocolate taste, plus you get lots of antioxidants from the cocoa powder (try to get dutch process for more antioxidants, iirc). The vanilla can also be used in various shakes and in a good fruit smoothie, which wouldn't work with chocolate.

We like the vanilla and chocolate, and it helps if you like skim or almond milk instead of water. We have also added bananas, strawberries, yogurt, frozen yogurt and ice. I bought the blender (GNC) and it mixes up well.Hope that info helped you out. Trial and error. Good Luck

It is not unflavored. I mix it into green smoothies so I couldn't tell you the exact flavor.

I don't notice the greens flavor. I have been using a banana, frozen cherries, strawberries with a vanilla flavored whey protein and unsweetened almond milk to makee my morning smoothie and all I taste is a vanilla fruit shake. I think it blends nice together for someone who doesn't want a strong "green" flavor.

The flavor..is acquired. When I first began using this I mixed with juice and it was tough to stomach, after awhile I switched to fruit smoothies (which really masked the flavor). Now I can mix with juice again and get it down quite easily. Each person will be different tho.

Nope...the J Robb whey protein products I use are sweetened with stevia. I mix the unflavored and vanilla in equal parts as I find the vanilla is a bit too sweet and 'vanilla-y' for my taste. Makes an excellent smoothie paired with fresh fruit, cranberry juice and water...or flavorings of your choice.

If you have a way to blend it. I use an Immersion blender. Stirring with a spoon does not work. I do not like the unflavored because it is sweetened. I always order vanilla bean or chocolate and LOVE both.

I got.the chocolate I think the vanilla would be better. I woud try the Plain maybe better looks like it doesn't have stevia. Normally i might put a banana in or dates but it taste bad with the stevia.
