I ordered the vanilla for the first time, and as expected it's way too sweet for me, but I find this with all flavoured powders. I simply mix 1:4 ratio with a non flavoured powder and it's perfect. No lumps, no chalkiness, no after taste. I love mine as a hot drink to start the day, simply stir the powder in a little cold water until smooth, add falvouring such as coffee, and them top with boiling water. No need for milk, perfectly creamy just with water
