vsginnj 415 Posted July 5, 2012 A word of caution, after sleeve surgery, if you are like most.you are going have some changes to your taste likes and dislikes and tolerance to different temps . I would suggest lots of sample sizes and sample again after surgery before ordering large amounts of any thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JentryB2020 7 Posted July 5, 2012 I just tried the nectar in strawberry sorbet. Pretty decent. I mixed it with 10 ounces fat free milk. My sleeve is July 13th!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipflop 28 Posted July 6, 2012 I just ordered some Syntrax Nectar samples too. I have the Unjury and about time samples, just haven't worked up the nerve to try them yet. Has anyone tried the muscle milk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prisytomboy 24 Posted July 6, 2012 i have tried 3 different Syntrax Nectar and neither mixed very well, not even in my personal blender. i had lemonade for lunch today and could not finish it because of the lumps....DISGUSTING!!! i even put my cup back on the blender and blended some more...still had lumps. i used cold bottled Water. any tips? has anyone else had this problem?

Jlewis229 191 Posted July 6, 2012 I had the Cappuccino Latte with Almond milk and ice blended and it blended up Perfectly!!! Was pretty good too. I liked that it was not thick and chalky At all! 1 Need-a-Sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prisytomboy 24 Posted July 6, 2012 ^^^are you "pulsing" or straight blending? i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I haven't tried it with milk because the flavors i've tried were fruit flavor and i didn't think milk would mix well with a fruit juice. does that make sense?

I have a personal blender with its own cup, it was $29 at Walmart, made by Oster. It has 1 speed and it was mixed perfectly. I would say to blend it though. And if I were using a fruity one i'd probably just use Water. You could always strain it through a sieve to get clumps out if it's that bad. ? Idk what else to tell you, sorry! 1 rahnava reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did not have good luck mixing in cold liquids at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karenb4729 309 Posted July 6, 2012 Love the cappuccino flavor - I have the first thing in the morning. It helps the fact that I'm no longer having my coffee. Sometimes I will warm up the milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rahnava 30 Posted July 6, 2012 I was sleeved on 01/30/12 and I've been through a lot of Protein Shakes. I am so glad to have found Syntrex Nextar Sweets. My favorite one is the chocolate Truffle. I just bought a tub of that one. I also like the vanilla bean torte, and the strawberry. I just do ice, Water, and a little powdered chocolate Peanut Butter I bought from Amazon. Its really yummy and I started with the samples from BJsBariatrics. These are the best tasting Protein shakes out there. 1 Need-a-Sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joyful noise 101 Posted July 6, 2012 The EAS Advantage RTD comes in 2 packages the 17 gr Protein gives you like 24 cartons; but the 20 gr protein I think gives you 18 cartons. I get mine at Sam's. I also like the premium from costco - it has 30 gr protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joyful noise 101 Posted July 6, 2012 Wow! Thank you; I would've never thought to strain the drinks to get rid of the unmixed powder. I am sorta afraid to use the blender because of the "foam"; will it give me gas? Should I like..make it and let it settle in the fridge for a couple of hours?
