rahnava 30 Posted July 7, 2012 I also have the personal blender with the cup from Oster. I have one for work and one for home. They come in cool colors (green, blue, orange). I let it run for at least a minute and it makes a slushie. I use the plastic straws that go with the insulated cups with lids and they are yummy. Syntrex necter is the best!

allnewme 262 Posted July 7, 2012 I just placed an order for 2 of the nectar sample packs. Hopefully I will like some of the flavors, I am not big on most fruit flavored shakes. I am hoping the cappuccino is good so it can replace my coffee.< /p> I need to order the Unjury chicken and unflavored, Have Protein for the clear diet, I have two weeks of that after surgery. Have any of you tried those yet? How long does it take to receive the shipment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinkerToyz 45 Posted July 7, 2012 I hope you are able to stomach the Unjury better than I. I tried only the chicken and the vanillia, Both were bad enough to gag a maggot in my opinion and way more went down the drain than down my throat. 1 rahnava reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clk 3,519 Posted July 7, 2012 After two years, I still start almost every day with a Protein coffee or tea mixed with vanilla bean torte or chocolate truffle from Syntrax nectar. I use a shaker cup and the only time I have lumps is when my liquid is too cold. It mixes great with hot, warm, room temp or cool liquids - not icy cold ones. I have an entire sample pack of the About Time shakes and I hate them. I was excited at first because of the healthier ingredients but I find the taste lacking. I am not a fan of the fruity shakes - not even the nectar ones. Keep trying things until you like them! I changed "favorite" Protein Shakes about four times since surgery, but the one constant are the Nectars. I love them, even mixed with Water or homemade unsweetened soy milk. Oh, and a shaker cup will keep the foam down more than blending, so try that if you want to avoid the foam. Good luck! ~Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've noticed it has too much or a head on it when blended, I don't care for that myself either. Thanks for the tip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks, I will keep your tips on my list. I am afraid of the Protein Drinks but I hope to find one that is tolerable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiki Von Moonshine 53 Posted July 7, 2012 Is the nectar suppose to be like a juice or a milk like shake? I'm on one of the websites right now and if you mix it with milk it wouldnt be a clear anymore, correct? Im looking for Protein mixes just for the first week of clears. Which flavors would you recommend for the clear stage? I am assuming it would be the flavors that are best with Water. Also, I was told that if you called syntax you could get 14 samples for 14.00 no shipping. I haven't called yet, but thats still cheaper at the other website.

rahnava 30 Posted July 31, 2012 BJs Bariatrics and those sample packs saved me a lot of money. Now I know which ones I like and don't like. The Lemonade Flavor = gag! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kczar 166 Posted July 31, 2012 I like the chocolate About Time powder but the vanilla tastes pretty bad. I bought a bunch of Torani syrups to give them different flavors. The Syntrax Nectar line is pretty darn yummy. Keep in mind that the fruit flavored ones aren't clear. They have a milky appearance that can be off putting.

IsaacsGram 58 Posted July 31, 2012 I bought 10 sample sizes of several flavors from vitalady.com. The packets each have 28-30gms Protein. So far the chocolate fudge is my fav. I am trying out shakes for pre & post uses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
