Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have an opinion on Syntrax Nectar whey Protein Isolate? I've been drinking that for over a year, and I like it a lot because it's fat-free and carb-free, and one scoop is 90 to 100 calories (depending on what flavor it is). I'm just not sure how it stacks up against Unjury or some of the others out there, and would really like some feedback. I get mine from Amazon.com--free second-day shipping makes it a lot cheaper than even buying it from the local health food store. Oh yeah, and 23g of protein per scoop.

I mis-posted this to another forum, so my apologies if anyone ends up reading this twice. Anyway...opinions, anyone?

I do not like the taste of nectar. I know people rave about it but it gags me and I can smell it. I do like the Cappuccino flavor that is all..

Yeah, I've found that I really like them as well. Lots of fruit flavors, and I love the chocolate and vanilla. And they're readily available, so as far as I'm concerned, unless my doctor tells me I absolutely have to take something else, I'm sticking 'em!

I like most of them (not the vanilla, it's too watery). I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be as good in terms of Protein quality as any of the other whey based shakes.< /p>

I don't like most of the high Protein Drinks. I like the pre-mixed special k and the muscle milk lite, but most of the powders gag me. I like the nectar cherry or tea, but not full strength and not alone. I mix mine with double liquid either crystal lite, sugar free cool aide or regular tea. I also mix the cherry 1/2 scoop in a yogurt fruit smoothie.< /p>

Have you tried using food flavorings, like people use in making frosting or flavored dessert stuff? I've been using those in 'recipes' for the Protein supplements, and mixing in stuff like (don't gag) fresh baby spinach and oat bran or ground flaxseed. Raw carrots work pretty well, too. I know not everybody's quite as, umm...experimental...as me, but I thought I'd at least put the suggestion out there. The baby spinach and the carrots sort of take up some of the sweet factor, and give it some texture, as well.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the nectar products. It's a good form of Protein, and a nice change from some of the milky flavored ones.

I didn't like the cappuccino flavor but tried the fuzzy navel this morning and it was fine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
