What is Gourmet Vanilla?

Exactly what is this vanilla? If not pure vanilla, then please explain what all the ingredients are that make "gourmet vanilla". Anything artificial? If "natural flavoring", then what does that mean specifically? Thanks.

the "normal" vanilla flavoring we use now, we have used since the very beginning of proteinfactory.com. You cannot change this flavor because people are used to my vanilla flavoring. But as time goes on, we get better and make advancements. The "gourmet vanilla" is exactly that. It contains some of the BEST vanilla flavorings on the planet. the vanilla I get is from what many gourmet chefs consider the BEST suppliers of vanilla flavorings in the world. And now I can offer it to you...

I'm a "health nut" in that I don't want to use artificial flavorings. For example, your banana flavoring is pure banana! Real vanilla is very expensive, so I'm guessing your Gourmet Vanilla may not have real vanilla in it? This leaves natural flavorings or artificial flavorings as possibilities.

Is Gourment Vanilla an all natural product with no artificial flavorings? Without giving away any "trade secrets" can you tell us what is its ingredient listing?

Thanks, Dean

Dear Alex, I have to know, too: "natural" OR "artificial" flavor. . .(you & those chefs can call it gourmet or whatever you want!!) As you may know, I sweeten my products with stevia, so that pretty much says enough about where I stand & my eating habits.

Next, where can I find the "greens/veggie/fruit" powders on the site for ordering?

P.S. . . .I won't even go as far as Dean in his req. . .I don't want to know the formula, just nat or art?

THANX SOOO MUCH!

All of our flavors except for the REAL flavors and cocoa and banana are natural...everything else is natural and artificial.

the green/fruit powders will be up today or tommorrow.

From my understanding with Alex both the Gourmet Vanilla & Gourmet Chocolate have some artificial flavors added.

The regular chocolate is pure Cocoa & other flavors "marked" REAL do not have artificial flavors.

I'm going with (regular) chocolate, real banana, or nothing, though some of the other "real" flavors seem tasty and good too.

Has anyone tried the real strawberry or grape or orange? Comments?

Thanks, Dean

you are correct. The REAL flavors are actually like if you took a banana and put it in the blend that is the flavor. there is barely any sweeteness....The only sweeteness comes from the fruit itself...same for all my other REAL flavors. As far as I know I am the ONLY supplement company to flavor its proteins using REAL fruit. So I guarantee you have never tried anything like these flavored fruit powders
