I was initially going to have my surgery with Dr Kim but have decided to go with Dr Frenzel in Arlington. I have a 2 week 2-3 protein shake per day diet and a small meal

Hi, I am getting pretty bored with my vanilla protein shakes I like the sounds of the cherry and the cinnamon but I only have natural extracts not the imitation ones. Is there a reason why not natural or is it just a taste thing? Thanks

Honestly I dont know but I would think that there are more "fake" flavors that taste like food that can be man made than the actual real thing. Like there is imitation butter extract but Im guessing there wouldn't be a natural one for that kind of thing. If you can find natural flavors I bet it would either taste "more real" or it would taste exactly the same. I just made the cinnamon one and used the maple n butter extract n it tasted pretty great. Hope I kinda answered your question.

I lived in Dominican Republican and they make a drink Jugo de Avena which translates as Oatmeal juice, with oatmeal, lemon juice or orange, sugar and evaporated milk with imitation vanilla extract and it tastes great. I tried it here with the expensive real stuff and it was not good. I went out and got an economy 1/2 gallon sized bottle of the imitation stuff they use, for less than my tiny bottle of the real stuff, and it came out great. You should try the Dominican cake they made with it...oops strike that, don't try it...lol. The real cherry extract I got for making brandy smells just like the weird Amaretto smelling "urinal cake" they use in the men's room. I'll have to get some fake stuff..Thanks!
