Any good vanilla protein drinks?

This is probably whining, but is there, anywhere!!! a vanilla protein drink that doesn't taste like poo?  At least to me anyway... I have tried everything from generic to Atkins to Unjury and everything in between... and I can't find a vanilla I can stomach without wanting to retch.

I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but I've found the vanillas are more often a) available, and b) on sale than the chocolate (which I like most of but  occasionally get sick of).

Some of the fruity kinds are OK, but I am allergic to strawberries and some other fruit-type things, so I don't go fruity too often.

I think just plain vanilla flavoring in powder has a weird aftertaste - protein or not. You could try adding a shot of vanilla sf syrup?

i tried mixing vanilla powder with the orange sunrise crystal light - tasted exactly like a creamsicle.

I like both the About Time Birthday Cake (very sweet vanilla, much like a birthday cake), and the Body Fortress vanilla (pretty standard). Of course, I don't drink ANYTHING as it comes out of the canister. Everything has SF syrups/crystal light/spices added to it, which makes a big difference.

I am still on my pre-op 2 week 700 calorie liquid diet, and don't have the experience that most of you have, but I like the Vanilla Medifast shake.  I mix it with double the amount of water and add ice.  My favorite flavoring to add is red raspberry sugar free syrup.

The only vanilla I liked plain (and I am NOT one who was ever willing to spend a bunch of time mixing up a protein shake concoction with 6 diffrerent things added to it) is the Syntrax brand Vanilla Bean Torte.   You can get a sample from www.vitalady.com

I havent tried it as a shake, but I really like to sprinkle the Body Fortress Vanilla Whey Protein into my cream of Wheat. I add an Equal packet and a little spray butter and it is yummy.
