No Nuget packages found when using Xamarin Forms

I just installed Xamarin for Visual Studio 2015 and created a Xamarin.Forms project. I'm trying to add NuGet packages to the project but nothing shows up in the Nuget Package Manager under Browse or when I search for a package. I tried to install SQLite through the Package Manager Console, but it gives an exception Not Specified. Any ideas how to get Nuget Packages working with Xamarin.Forms? Thanks!

Which package source are you using for your Nuget packages? – Coding with Cookie
This doesn't seem to be specifically related to Xamarin.Forms, but rather an issue with the Nuget Package Manager itself Does the error contain any more information than just Not specified? – Demitrian
@CookData I've tried Nuget and Microsoft as the sources. – robbiestells
@Demitrian There's nothing else that I can find in the error. It works fine on a non-Xamarin Forms project – robbiestells
What happens when you create a new Xamarin project that is not Xamarin forms based? Also, what version of Xamarin are you using? – Coding with Cookie

I just had the same problem. I fixed it by going to the package manager options and select "package sources". I added following link to these sources and called it "Nuget":

https://www.nuget.org/api/v2

Then I selected package source: ALL (in the manager)

If you click search again, all the available packages will be visible.
