Looking for a Vanilla protein shake

I have tried two different Vanilla shakes and so far they both taste icky.  The first one was super sweet...icky sweet and only had 23g of protein.  Scratch that one off the list.  This new container has 52g of protein and it says vanilla but has a cinnamon-y taste to it.  Now I like cinnamon, but this one is...well...ugh.  It doesn't taste right.  Both varieties were bought at a local store and I've not tried any of the specific bariatric brands yet.  I know I need to just buy a single pack and try that.  My question is: what are y'all using and how do you like it?  I like the chocolate ones fine, but variety is a good thing, ya know?  I know there is Bariatric Advantage and Unjury and I plan on trying their sample packs.  Just thought I'd get some feedback from y'all.

My Favorite Vanilla is Syntrax Nectar Vanilla Torte. You can always add SF Vanilla if you like it sweeter. It a dry mix..

That's the best one I've found so far too, and it blends well with fruit.

my favorite vanilla protein is EAS powder from SAMS Club, made with super skim milk.   Ialso sometimes add sugar free syrups to change up flavors.  Love the chocolate EAS powder too, made with super skim, especially with rasberry sf Davinci syrup.

I too do the Syntrax Vanilla Torte most days. When I need a treat, my absolute favorite is BSN Lean Dessert Whipped Vanilla Cream. YUM~

Also, just a hint. I put a couple of drops of Madagascar Vanilla in my shakes. Just a few drops gets rid of the gross protein aftertaste and makes them taste so much better. It's a little spendy, but getting the protein down is worth it and a bottle lasts a long, long time.

Good luck!

Thanks so much y'all...I will have to look up those SF syrups and the flavorings I never thought about those.  I could just stick with chocolate but even that would get old after a while, for me at least.

At Walmart in the coffee section they have a few of the sugar free syrups and if you have a World market near you they have some of the sugar free Torani syrups.  Amazon has some of the davinchi syrups.  make sure you get the sugar free syrups!! the regular syrups has lots of sugar.

I have used coconut flavoring and almond flavoring in my chocolate shakes too.

 I like BSN Synthra 6 in vanilla milkshake or BSN Lean Dessert protein in whipped vanilla cream if you like your shake thicker.  Vitalady.com has samples available and the best price is from amazon.com.

I like EAS Myoplex Vanilla Cream with 25 grams of protein per 14 oz.  I even use it as coffee creamer sometimes. Muscle Milk Light and Atkins vanilla protein drinks are also good. I haven't been too impressed with protein powders.
