I just tried my "unflavoured" whey protein from MyProtein and it tastes of vanilla. Completely different to the last two batches I had. Quite annoying as the vanilla taste is really fake and disgusting when it repeats on you :/

Did you not use flavouring?
I suggest you buy some liquid flavouring from MyProtein.
Try toffee. Thats the best flavour I've tried. It costs about £3.99 + delivery.
 
Unflavoured protein makes me gag.
Once I add flavouring this makes the shake taste great.
Give flavouring a go. You have nothing to lose expect for £5.
There is no qudos/benefit to drinking protein without flavouring.

I've given flavouring a go due to MyProtein's dodgy stock/quality control. The unflavoured stuff I've ordered tastes of vanilla (whereas the last two times it just tasted of general blah).

I need to ring up MyP and complain as I feel pretty ill when I drink the horrible flavoured stuff.

I have tried one or two flavour samples other people have bought before and they were nice enough but really sickly.
 
Taken from the MyProtein website...
Please note this nutritional information is taken from the unflavoured version. When choosing a flavoured version it will reduce the protein content by approximately 3% for most flavours, however chocolate, due to the added cocoa, will reduce it by approximately 8%

And it's that 1 and a bit grams per serving that is the difference between fatty mclard lump and mr olympia.
 
I found all the pre-flavoured samples I tried to be a bit on the sweet side, which is why I use the FlavDrops instead. It doesn't make shakes taste amazing, but given I can often hit my protein target pretty often without even needing 1-2 scoops of whey it's not a big deal. I need to improve my cooking skills as a lot of the protein mug cakes and fluff things I see look amazing, but I'm lazy and just water+whey+flavouring takes about 30 seconds to make and less than that to drink.
 
There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. The issue is that I ordered unflavoured (which I normally drink and don't mind) but received some which though marked as unflavoured but tastes of horrible fake vanilla.
 
Oh I see. So they sent you vanilla flavoured whey instead of unflavoured.
In that case, send an email and ask if they can send you unflavoured whey.
I think you may have to pay to return the vanilla, though - not sure.

I'll be contacting them tomorrow, yeah.

I'm not paying to send back the vanilla stuff (it is even labelled as unflavoured -which is weird). Hopefully they'll be decent about things. I can probably force the stuff down but I'm not happy about it :/
 
I been using ON Gold Standard and MP powders for last 6 months which been working well....however would like to try some others, is CNP a good brand to go with?
 
Yeah. Apparently she consumes over 7,000cals a day and weighs under 10st.... And doesn't gain weight. Riiiiiiight. She's single handedly rewritten human biology and metabolism. :D
