Sell them.  I hated them too.  Most love them but nothing appealing about them to me at all.

I've tried the vanilla, and they are too sweet for me.

However, I've loved the chocolate for about four years now, long before I was even considering surgery.

I've always had it blindingly cold, and mix a tablespoon of good quality cocoa in it.   I add five, six, seven ice cubes, and blend it until very slushy.   Love it.

I've also mixed cold decaf coffee from Tim Horton's in, and/or used decaf instant coffee granules (dissolved in water, then added to the blender). 

As an occasional treat, I'll add half a frozen banana, and blend it up.   I've also added cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt, or ricotta cheese -- blend, blend, blend.

I'm sure others have ideas, as well.

I'd also suggest using the OH search function, ineffective as it is, and look for a combination of Premier Protein shakes (spelling counts for better results) and vanilla.   Your search would then look like  "Premier Protein shakes +vanilla".

Good luck :)

mmm

I'm with you....YUCK
But, I do really enjoy the kaizen 100% whey isolate also from costco but in a powdered form. It's a 2kg container and 35g protein per serving only 1g carbs
I've had the choc and the vanilla ice cream....YUM

Try extracts....mint extract gives you the taste of chocolate mint ice cream....and coconut extract with the vanilla tastes like a pina colada....banana, maple....I used them all and it helped a lot....also....mixing it with cold water from the fridge and ice helps....I found the colder the better!...good luck!

Over a year now and still can not drink premade shakes, WAY too sweet for my taste buds.  Still making my own smoothies which i love!  kiss

I'm not a fan of those protein shakes either. They are a little better cold if that helps.

I also like the Costco Whey Isolate Protein powder in the big tubs. The chocolate is good. I can't stomach the vanilla Ice Cream. Sickly sweet/artificial tasting.
