Just got my Original order after a month on Vanilla. Pure bliss. A delicious, lightly sweet oaty flavour.
What kind of sick person could ever prefer Vanilla? It’s so synthetic and aggressive tasting in comparison!

That’s the thing about taste. It’s a matter of taste.
I prefer Original too, though.

I like both versions. Funnily enough new vanilla has less sucralose than original.
I have just got my order of 2 bags Original and 2 bags New Vanilla. Just tried a sip of Original and found it much sweeter (to my taste) than New Vanilla. Preferring the New to Original at the moment, though I am hoping Original will grow on me.

That doesn’t surprise me. The extra sweetness was very noticable IMO

Funny, to me new tastes sweeter, even though it isn’t. It tastes less like vanilla and more like toffee to me. I was raised on original and only more recently tried new. Initially preferred original, now I would say I like them almost equally. (I do use them both 50% with unflavoured). I’ve never tried 50/50 with original and new though…wonder if anyone ha.

I could do with ordering more UU now to mix with Original. Agree, New Vanilla does taste more like toffee though Original doesn’t taste much like vanilla to me. It reminds me of Ready Brek.

I agree…as a kid I ate it so often had an orange glow (as per the ad).

I do a 50/50 mix of original and vanilla @hunzas - its really nice. Not such an intense toffee flavour - much more subtle. Better still one scoop of each and one scoop of u/u tho, to reduce the sweetness a little

That’s exactly what I thought as well,I couldn’t get on with the new version I prefer the original.

I’m popping an order in for Payday this month, think I’ll give U&U a go! Especially as flavour boosts are only £1.50 for sample sets…! Back in my day it was a full packet of flavour boost!!

I’ve decided I like both. I think original, being a bit more neutral, will go well with flavour boosts. Must try 50/50 new/original tomorrow.

I like the new vanilla, original was awful. Tried it on two occasions and I couldn’t manage more than a mouthful, down the sink it went. Funny how widely tastes vary. Right now I’m doing 50/50 New and Unsweetened as I want to cut down on the sweetners. Tastes fine, best with a tsp decaf coffee.

I’ve tried both Vanillas mixed 50/50 with Unflavoured. I reckon I prefer Original. Also, I don’t think the New Improved blends as well as the Original (which I’ve gone back to now).
(Just realised you meant a mix of Original and New Improved - now why would anybody do that? 
)
If the Original is sweeter (I was horrified by the taste first time I tried it) at least one can dilute it with U/U - to get the balance right (also means less Sucralose, which is a win).

I’ve just tried 50/50 original and new improved for lunch. Was ok but tbh I prefer them either on their own with or without flavouring or mixed with UU and flavoured.

haha it does actually work quite well @Africorn ! Because the artificial sweetener taste is a bit in your face with Original, and the buttery toffee flavour is too intense with Vanilla - blend the two and it has a much more pleasant, subtle flavour!

I still have some of both, so maybe I’ll try it just to say I did!

Oh and I find that Original is more inclined to go lumpy when shaken.
If you have any u/u you gotta try a 3-way (
) - best combo ever
