I buy a lot of the Equate brand products. This is by far the worse. Does not mix well and the taste is awful. Had to buy something because what I usually buy was out of stock. I won't buy this again.

    Good Ingrediants, Bad Taste
    The product delivers but the taste is awful. I highly recomend the strawberry flavor over vanilla. much easier to drink. i got the vanilla since strawberry was out of stock. cant wait to get through the vanilla, its pretty disgusting.

    Misnamed, unpleasant odor, but dissolves well.
    This is not "Smooth Vanilla". It is "Vanilla". Smooth Vanilla smelled better and tasted better. This powder has a very odd and somewhat disgusting floral odor that reminds me of perfume. I try to avoid smelling it. It dissolves easily, so that's a plus.

    a constructive ugly-gram
    this is really unacceptable. 2 canisters of whey protein were ordered but only 1 was delivered. i wrote to customer service and offered a fix and have yet to hear from anyone regarding a resolution. i am not interested in a refund bcuz i can't put a refund in my smoothie. it's simple…put the canister in a bag and send it out. problem solved. at the very least, contact me and let me know what's going on. please fix this!!!!

    High quality protein, mixes well
    I tired a couple of muscle building protein powders and this is equivalent in taste, and ingredients. I had only one bottle that didn't mix easily, I needed to use a small whisk or blender. All the others mix well in cold water. It has all the branched chain amino acids and creatine that help with muscle building and 30 gms of good quality protein in just one scoop. Some protein powders list the ingredients of two scoops, this is more concentrated. I've sent it to older friends who mix it into their coffee. This is good if you need more protein in your diet for age, disease or other reason. It's designed to help build muscle with weight lifting. I've only used the vanilla since July, 2022 so cannot comment on the flavor change, and I've never seen the smooth vanilla version referenced in other reviews. I and my friends like this a lot and see no reason to go back to a different brand. Use it to boost your protein intake if you are older, or to improve muscle recovery and growth if you are strength training.

    This stuff is terrible…
    This stuff is terrible… it used to dissolve in my cold milk.. now it just sits on top and will NOT dissolve… The change in formula is unacceptable…. I need to find something else… too bad.. I kinda liked it before.. I wish I could find some..

    Revert to old recipe please
    I agree with the other 1 star ratings. Ingredients have changed and this now has a nasty taste and smell. I drink my whey by itself and for the first time ever I couldn't bear to continue with this one. Please fix this.

    First time user
    I've never used protein powder before, so I have nothing to compare this too. Easy to make, taste is better than expected. I use this to boost my protein intake for the day. Have not noticed any differences, but didn't expect any since I'm not using it for recovery purposes. Will buy again!

    Such a shame they had to change it
    This was a great product until they recently changed the formula and the name to just 'Vanilla'. The taste, of course, is nothing like it was. This is really a shame, as it was one of the best tasting vanilla protein powders in my opinion. Unfortunately, the new formula is not very good at all.

    I ordered this and the strawberry equate whey protein powder, they're both kinda gross on their own, but together they actually taste really good, in my opinon.

    Get what you pay for
    I'm not quite sure if this brand has a inner paper seal under the plastic lid. I just opened this exact product, and no paper seal was present. The first ever portein powered I have come across that doesnt. There is excessive residual powder on the out side of the container, inbetween the label. Also the smell of it is not as appealing as literally ever other powered I have used.

    Fair
    The smooth vanilla tastes better and mixes better than the regular vanilla. They have the same barcode number but a different number on the top of the barcode so when you order it many times you will get the wrong order and will get plain vanilla. Watch when ordering and probably better to pick up at the store so if there is a mix up you don't have to return it.

    Beware! Not the same!!
    This formula has changed. It tastes terrible. Among other changes, they have replaced the Sucralose and Acesulfame K with stevia, which makes it bitter. And the consistency is like sawdust. The one I bought on the app was labeled “Smooth Vanilla—Artificial and Natura Flavors, which is what I always buy; and the one I actually received was labeled “Vanilla—Natural Flavors”. In other words, they changed the formula and the description without warning. I made smoothies and we had to dump them out because they tasted so terrible, including all the ingredients I added.

    Tasted Great and had a good taste
    Very good protein powder! It tasted like sweet vanilla from cuba that I had on my honeymoon a few years back. I enjoyed this powder very much compared to other sups I have taken, it helped me build 40 pounds of muscle after using it. I enjoyed this product and recommend it to everyone that is above the age of 60 to support bone health and structure.

    Way too sweet
    Other reviewers pointed out that this has artificial sweeteners. I hated the taste before I read that. Now I know why. If they would just cut back on the amount of sweetener it might be okay. However, this is like drinking sugar cane syrup with a hint of vanilla. It's awful! I'm counting down the days until I'm done with it and I can go back to chocolate.

    Out of all of the protein powders that I have tried, this has been my favorite. Tastes and smells like vanilla cake. Very easy to mix into things and tastes dessert like. Would definitely buy again.

    My husband enjoys this protein powder and says it mixes well, even without use a shaker bottle, and he likes the taste (uses milk). Good bang for your buck and a simple way to boost protein intake.

    Delicious, with great nutrition and price
    This tastes like vanilla ice cream. I really loved the taste! Mixes incredibly easily with simple water. Absolutely INCREDIBLE value at this price.

    This protein powder has a pleasant taste, it's not overwhelming at all and it dissolves easily. I particularly enjoy mixing this into wet sweet foods, like apple sauce or yogurt. The protein per serving is nice and helps hit goals without too many extra calories. The price is also very competitive.
