    Than vanilla flavored whey protein powder? I bought a jug of it for my office about 2 weeks ago, and no matter what I do with it it's truly terrible. It's gotten to the point where I have to choke the stuff down, even mixed in with milk instead of water. Even when I put it in my oatmeal........it makes me gag.

    I bought another jug for the house (same brand) and decided to try chocolate, and that's soooooo much better. Mixed with milk, it tastes like chocolate milk and I actually kind of like the stuff.. I've been trying to tough it out with the vanilla at work, but I think it's going into the garbage tomorrow. :p

    try the strawberry... ACK!!!

    i always go for chocolate... vanilla works as an additive to fruit smoothies... 'bout the only place worth using it imho... but then again, I'm the type that looks at it as fuel... as long as it doesn't literally taste like ass I really don't mind...

    Yeah, I can't do vanilla. Chocolate is alright with peanut butter and milk. Although I get the 100% whey with no artificial flavoring or additives. Pretty bland.

    Mix a small amount of vanilla with chocolate. That should help you use it over time.

    if you can blend it with fruit it will help a bit. i go with the saying, "if it tastes good, SPIT IT OUT!!!!!!"

    Try Syntha 6. All the flavors are amazing. When I used to bulk I'd use it as a substitute for milk in my cereal. It is seriously that good. It costs a little more, and has a few more calories than most other brands but if youre bulking it doesnt really matter.

    Yep, STRAWBERRY is worse. I hated that stuff. The best tasting stuff is Muscle Milk. That stuff tastes GREAT and mixes REALLY well.

    +1 for englum_06 ... the Muscle Milk brand is the best tasting stuff I've tried yet... I like the vanilla best when I blend in a banana. The strawberry is really good too, but I have to admit the chocolate is the best... MMMMMMMMM Chocolate.

    I've went through about 15 bags of vanilla in the last six months or so.... must be the brand you're using.

    I buy the EAS whey in the 5-lb bags at Sam's Club... awesome stuff. The chocolate is good too, but doesn't taste as good in my oatmeal. ;)
