I've heard several people talk about Syntrax Nectar but really want to get opinions before I order the sample packets. How do they taste? Aftertaste? How do most of you use it, with Water or do u mix it into ur yogurts and other foods? Tired of spending money on Protein I can't tolerate.... Thanks!

The only flavor I find worthwhile is Roadside Lemonade. At first it's not good, but it sort of grows on me. By the time I'm near the end, I would describe it as "lemon cream." I mix it in Water and add in SF lemonade drink mix. I've also used it with lemon zest, lemon extract, and lemon juice to make lemon Protein Powder ice cream, which tastes exactly like drinking the Protein Drink with the lemon kicked up a notch, except their tolerability is directly proportional to their temperature (the colder they are, the easier they go down).

BTW if you have a local support group through your surgeon or a hospital, see if you can go. They often do Protein swaps where person 1 brings in 10 or 15 "samples" of their favorite, person 2 does with theirs, etc. and you swap. It's a great way to sample a LOT of Proteins without having to commit to a large quantity of any of it.

I have used the Roadside Lemonade and the fuzzy navel. Both I mix 1 scoop with about 8-12 oz Water, a glass full of ice, and 1 pack of crystal light lemonade or other flavor. I mix this in my blender to make a slushy and thing it tasts fine.

I use three flavors of nectar protein: Fuzzy Navel, vanilla Bean Torte and chocolate Truffle. I use them when I make a smoothie in the morning. The Fuzzy navel is great with any flavor of fruit. I also use the vanilla flavor when I need to put Protein in something cold (pudding, overnight oatmeal). I don't get a bad aftertaste at all. I think the nectar Protein is by far the best tasting powdered protein mix.

I recently bought these and have tried the Roadside Lemonade and caribbean cooler so far. Both were DELISH! I mixed them with Water and ice and put them in my magic bullet to make a slushie. LOVED THEM! Can't wait to try the other flavors. Don't think I can go back to the boring vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry that I had been drinking. I've also just read that some people use frozen fruit in place of ice, will be trying that after my next grocery run.

      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.
