Does it taste similar to French Vanilla to any great degree?

It does taste like vanilla... be careful not to put too much in though as it can be a little bitter with too much. It is very sweet so you don't need a lot. I use this and other flavors all the time in both hot and cold drinks and yogurt, etc.

yes I'd agree. I like the flavor, it is a great replacement for vanilla extract in baking, in my opinion (it serves two purposes then, to sweeten and provide the vanilla flavor)

I can't recall that it was a vanilla flavor as it has been awhile. The flavor was good but it has a gritty consistency.

It's very sweet to me and very vanilla. Havent tried the chocolate. I haven't found it to be clumpy buy I use my vitAmix. Can't cut the vanilla even with fruit and almond/coconut milk. But I will use it.

The "French Vanilla" flavor is VERY mild and versatile - you can mix any fruit with it!

The vanilla is good but the vanilla taste is very mild to me (not a deal breaker since I would reorder it again). I always add an extra splash of vanilla with a little cinnamon to enhance it. I also have a chocolate raspberry (unopened) since I didn't want to have two open containers - I will open it when done with the vanilla. Haven't tried the cookies flavor.

I mix the vanilla creme with bottled chocolate milk and it tastes like melted chocolate ice cream. It's delicious.

Yes it is .it has a little off the wall taste which one can get used to after a few drops. For me I put it under my tongue..

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

As far as I can tell, it smells the same as the sample I got in France. So either the same or a really good copy

It definitely has hints of chocolate and brown sugar. I don't know about vanilla. It is also very thick.

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 cannot compare to GS Oats/Whey, as I have never tried that product; however, I can tell you that, at least in my opinion, the Natural Vanilla does not have a detectable stevia taste. I don't necessarily dislike the flavor of stevia, but I cannot use Truvia in my coffee because of the taste, and I can taste its presence in vitaminwater zero, just to give you a frame of reference. Hope that helps a little!

I'm not sure what you are calling gourmet vanilla. In the past, I would have chosen Nielsen-Massey as my top choice. However, I have been highly satisfied with Rodelle Pure Vanilla. The flavor is perfect for all my baking products. I have also used their Vanilla Beans and was very pleased. They were plump, not dry like some I have bought that cost more. My bottle says Madagascar Bourbon same as Nielsen-Massey.

No after taste that I am aware of. That is why I like it. It is pretty bland. I sometimes mix with fruit and/or powder form of greens. I like it because it is not sweet like so many of the vanilla proteins seem to be. Just make sure you keep it sifted. I use a wire whip in the container it comes in. It mixes easily, but can get compacted in the container.

The vanilla is a little thinner, but still thick like a shake. Vanilla does not taste as good (to me) as the chocolate on its own. However, I usually mix half chocolate and half vanilla, which is outstanding when I add some fat-free milk to make it a little thinner. It's like a high-protein malted chocolate milk.

Honestly, I don't think so. The only thing i'm not completely certain of is the natural vanilla flavor, but I would believe that is clean as well.

It has a pleasant vanilla-like taste. If you're looking to add this to savory dishes (i.e. beef-free meatballs) I would NOT recommend it. It does taste great mixed into oatmeal however :)
