Yes...you can add plain cocoa. My favourite was to add a heaping teaspoon of decaf instant coffee, add some ice & shake!!!!  I know some people have also added crystal light.  Whatever you decide to add I always found it better diluted with lots ice...Enjoy!

I have tried a few variations of the vanilla, and the best so far is adding 1 Tbsp decaf coffee and 1 Tbsp sugar-free Torani flavouring syrup in Salted Caramel - tastes almost like a starbucks special.  Even my daughter had a taste and is way jealous.... Cheers!

I got mine from a little local shop that specializes in those k-cups.  But I think you can get them at Starbucks too.  I am in small town, so I am not sure where else.   Lots of variations though.

Superstore & No Frills sell 2 SF flavours, Vanilla & Caramel.  Most Starbucks will sell you a whole bottle as well. I get SF hazelnut there.

Hope that helps!

My favourite way to prepare the vanilla was with decaf tea. I brewed a huge jug of decaf chai tea, and put it in the fridge. I blended the vanilla with the cold tea, and sometimes would put some pumpkin pie spice in too :)

I did my three weeks of opti with only vanilla, the chocolate was out of stock. I used Frys cocoa and three ice cubes in my bullet, tasted like a Wendy's frosty to me!
