The other flavor, mandarin, tastes like Vanilla too! Actually, I think they only smell like vanilla (I've used both flavors). I actually liked the tast of both (oh yeah, they taste the same).

I went lower-glycemic earlier this year and thought HEED might be a good solution for me. Unfortunately, I just didn't get enough fast calories from HEED and bonked on some longer rides (4-5 hours) Even though I had the right number of calories, my body just couldn't absorb them as well or as quickly.
