Have you tried adding different flavors of sugar free syrups to your frappacino? Some mint might be good. I like caramel. If you like coffee, a spoonful of instant decaf would make it like a mocha frappacino.

Thanks, that is a good idea. My husband loves the sugar free syrups so we have every flavor imaginable.

Cut up and freeze a banana overnight. But in blender with a cold chocolate muscle milk. Taste just like a chocolate banana milkshake!

Grape frost isopure zero carb protein drink. You get 40 grams in 20 ounces. Only flavor I could taste.

Diet snapple peach tea with a scoop of unjury. Changes the color but not taste.

And if the change in color makes it seem unappetizing to you, put it in a colored cup with a lid.

I'll play but I am easy.

Favorites: Nectars, vanilla, chocolate, lemon tea, fuzzy navel. I use the vanilla and chocolate in my decaf and mix the lemon tea and fuzzy navel in 36 oz of water with a tube of Crystal light. Cappichino is ok, I really liked it for a while but haven't bought it in a good while.
Syntrax also makes a Matrix chocolate and Mint Cookie that are wonderful in coffee or with water or milk for an added treat in a shake.

One of the GNC comes in chocolate carmel and it is good in coffee or shakes with water.

OKs. Champions, all the chocolate types.

I like the chocolate and vanilla ones best with milk but can do them in a shake with water, or with water to go in my decaf.

I tried the Unjury cheese sauce and thought it was good the first time or two but got tired of it quickly and it has to be used quickly.

I use the Unjury chicken soup when making brocalli soup and chicken soup.

A while back, I ordered about 20 samples from Vitalady. I certainly liked some better than others but I think there was only 1 I really really didn't like. Of course, i don't remember what it was.

well, you're lucky because you like a lot. I should try that mint cookie one myself. It sounds good.

I've tried:

Unjury Unflavored
Unjury Vanilla
Unjury Chicken Soup (which I love)
Chike Strawberry
Chike Banana
Chike Vanilla
Chike Chocolate
Top Care Chocolate
Top Care Vanilla

I usually make them with milk, in a shaker bottle.
I have the same problem with each of them--the whey flavor is overwhelming. It tastes musty and makes me shudder. It's also hard to get a good texture--they're either too lumpy or too foamy.

I need a light, fruity protein powder where the flavor entirely disappears into the beverage and end up tasting like juice or Propel. Special K protein powder s a pretty good example, but not nearly enough protein to be considered a supplement.

With a lot of brands, mixing them in a blender does a better job getting rid of all the lumps.

You might like the Syntrax fruity ones, but don't put them in a blender, they will get way too foamy that way. They get kind of foamy if you just shake them, but if you let it sit in the fridge for a few minutes, some of the foam will go away. you can mix them with plain water or with crystal light. You can get samples at vitalady.com.

Thanks! I ordered a couple fruity samples. I think I jut really need to get away from the thick, "rich" flavors and try something lighter and fruity and fresh.
