What’s up with certain brands of protein that have non dairy creamer in them.  I have avoided ones with this filler in it.  Am i being too picky or is it actually a cheap way to make their product taste better?  Right now i have been using optimum nutrition and  the BSN syntha 6 ( which i havnt cared for, sorry Scott) . 

I figure as expensive as protien is  why not expect it to be high quality as possible.

I'm not sure man, it might be for taste, or even so that they can bump up the protein a little bit. Either way, you're probably better off sticking to the quality brands like you already are. It doesn't matter that you're not a fan of BSN, each to their own 😊

It is used as a filler. Quality supplements like Optimum Nutrition (which I exclusively use) don't use inferior ingredients like this.

Well I typically stick to Syntha 6 Isolate, and mainly go for vanilla or chocolate.. it's been a while since I touched any other flavors really haha. Basically that or the Syntha 6 Edge are your best options for BSN protein. Maybe it was just the flavor that put you off haha. I have never had problems with mixing.. just make sure you shake it thoroughly!!

I had strawberry syntha 6 and it clumped up horribly in my blender bottle. Maybe it was an odd batch.

I need more vanilla for my oats so I may give them a second chance

Oh really? That is super weird. If you don't already have one, it might help to have a mixer in your shaker to help as well - one of those balls or a plastic sieve-like attachment that sits in the top of your shaker.
