I love anything chocolate, but bought my first case in vanilla, and was not at all disappointed ... tastes great, and I use it in oatmeal, and any other cereal, also I will the chocolate soon. BWT I'm type 2 diabetic, and so far have no ill side affects probably because only 1 gram sugar.

I have tried both the chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate is OK, but the vanilla is amazing. I could down like 20 of them (not that I'd advise that).

The chocolate tastes better on its own. With the vanilla you can put it in a blender and add mix-ins like frozen fruit, peanut butter, flax, etc.

The vanilla is a little thinner, but still thick like a shake. Vanilla does not taste as good (to me) as the chocolate on its own. However, I usually mix half chocolate and half vanilla, which is outstanding when I add some fat-free milk to make it a little thinner. It's like a high-protein malted chocolate milk.

It does taste like vanilla... be careful not to put too much in though as it can be a little bitter with too much. It is very sweet so you don't need a lot. I use this and other flavors all the time in both hot and cold drinks and yogurt, etc.

I am using the chocolate and I mix it with regular flavor almond milk. I have mixed it with skim milk also but think the almond milk is healthier and also enhances the flavor. Good luck. I also have used the Yoli chocolate and find it even better tasting.

I agree. Just buy real vanilla in the store, and it's actually cheaper. Less sticky too?

I have not tried the strawberry, I have been drinking meal replacement and protein shakes for about 15 years and I have never found a strawberry one that didn't have a lasting after taste (yuck) or had an odd chemical type taste so I stopped trying them. I have only tried the Vanilla in this brand and it does taste very good. Plus I feel full afterwards and have no cravings for anything else. I will say that they taste better cold.

My favorite is the cookies and cream, but chocolate does best with mixers. The vanilla wasn't very good at all in my opinion; it overwhelmed anything you added, and tastes like cheap imitation vanilla. Hope that helps.

Chocolate! My kids have tasted the vanilla and the strawberry, chocolate always came out on top!

I've tried both, but I do tend to lean more towards the chocolate. Since I primarily use it in my protein shakes, which I add powdered supplements to, the chocolate tends to cut out the taste of the supplements better. :)

No after taste that I am aware of. That is why I like it. It is pretty bland. I sometimes mix with fruit and/or powder form of greens. I like it because it is not sweet like so many of the vanilla proteins seem to be. Just make sure you keep it sifted. I use a wire whip in the container it comes in. It mixes easily, but can get compacted in the container.

If you have a way to blend it. I use an Immersion blender. Stirring with a spoon does not work. I do not like the unflavored because it is sweetened. I always order vanilla bean or chocolate and LOVE both.

It has a vanilla flavor. I am not particular about the taste of vanilla. I use strong tasting vegetables when juicing which hide or mask the taste.

I haven't tried Stephen's white chocolate or French vanilla. However, based on the many other products containing these flavors that I've used over the years, I would say there is a distinct difference between the two. Generally, white chocolate is more creamy and slighter sweeter than French vanilla, but without the pronounced vanilla flavor of French vanilla.

It's not bad. I drink it plain, or add kale and it's a nice alternative to the vanilla. (I have an intolerance for chocolate, so haven't tried that flavor). Mixing this flavor with fruit isn't a good thing.

I noticed these too. Not in the natural flavor powder. I have seen these little flecks in all of the vanilla flavored powder that I have ordered. Not sure what they are, but the vanilla is MUCH BETTER TASTING than the natural flavor so I am sticking with the vanilla.

I have only used the vanilla and did not care for it on its own. There were good reviews for the chocolate but I haven't personally tried it.

I've tried most of the phase8 flavors. Strawberry is easily the best, it doesn't have that strong protein aftertaste like most proteins do. Vanilla has good taste but does not mix as well. I've found that with most powders chocolate tends to have the worst taste.

The vanilla is good but the vanilla taste is very mild to me (not a deal breaker since I would reorder it again). I always add an extra splash of vanilla with a little cinnamon to enhance it. I also have a chocolate raspberry (unopened) since I didn't want to have two open containers - I will open it when done with the vanilla. Haven't tried the cookies flavor.
