what are natural flavorings?

Trying to decide between protein powder flavors. Looked at the ingredients and there almost no difference but the flavors are. So im guessing they come from the “natural flavorings”…what are those?

Some are obscure flavors: cereal milk, coffee and walnuts, speculoos, cookies and cream, chocolate chip cookie, white chocolate raspberry, carrot cake, curcuma latte, banana, strawberries and cream…

In the U.S., a “natural flavor” generally means some substance or molecule (such as oils or resins) that have been extracted from some plant or animal. The terms also includes materials that are by-products of fermentation.

So, for example, a coffee-flavored food product might contain flavorings extracted from coffee beans, husks, leaves, or parts of the plant which might be in their natural state, or otherwise modified through fermentation, roasting, distillation, and so on.
