    I always use vanilla powder because I feel you can make vanilla taste like whatever you put in there.

    I also use unsweetened coconut milk or vanilla almond milk (also unsweetened).

    Then I use Dasani or Crystal Light drops to make it taste like whatever I'm in the mood for...for example I will make a shake with coconut milk, frozen pineapple and coconut pineapple drops, and it tastes like a pina colada! Another one I will do is frozen blueberries and use the mixed berry flavor.

    Some would poo-poo at the sweeteners that are in those but I don't use very much, literally just a drop to add flavor.



    [ Im gonna try your idea sounds good]

    I wanted to add the protein shake I made tonight. It is a first tonight and turned out pretty good.

    I brewed 2 Twinings Ultra Spice Chai tea bags in 10 oz. of boiling water. I poured the tea over ice in my blender bottle. I added 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 tbs sugar free liquid creamer, and 2 pumps of Torani Sugar free Vanilla syrup. I shook it up and it turned out to be a great Iced Chai Latte.

    I LOVE the cheesecake flavor pudding powder from Jello. It's too bad it's kind of high carb because of the thickening agent.

    my wife adds fruit to hers, usually frozen berries. tastes quite nice.

    work colleague made a vanilla one yesterday with a banana and a coffee shot. it was ok but i think the banana made it too sweet. vanilla with a coffee shot would be nice i rekon. or even the unflavoured one with a coffee shot would be good
