AOR have removed the sweetener as far as i'm aware. I opened another tub today that I ordered recently, and it tasted really crappy. Any idea how much sweetener I need to mix back into it and what one?

Add some stevia. I applaud AOR for finally removing sucralose/splenda from Essential Mix -- it shows they care about their customer's health.

While I am aware that AOR care plenty about consumers, I am not aware of problems from sucralose/spplenda? I was looking to splenda as my saviour from aspartame and acesulfame-potassium-k... maybe not?

Essential Mix is available both sweetened with sucralose and with NO sweetener. After getting the new Essential Mix in I opened a can to try and then added my own comment on the product page: "This formulation is not sweetened in any way! You WILL want to add your own sweetener or mix into a smoothie."

Try the Ortho-Methyl if you want really nasty taste [nuk] [g:)]

The benefit of unsweetened is that you can use your choice of sweetener as Duke noted.

Its not listed on their website that its available in both... it just says includes "sucralose". So I wasn't told when I ordered it from AOR :(

I usually put it into some yogurt, whey protein drink or on food... but now it makes everything I put it on taste horrible lol. I'm gonna phone AOR in the morning.

Yeah, but Ortho Methyl is such a great product it doesn't need to taste good!
