Desirae Grunwell 9 Posted August 27, 2012 Hello loves :] So this past week i've been really randomly sick :c , and i feel perhaps I am not getting enough Protein in and my mom suggested going back on shakes. for the two weeks post op and pre op I was useing the GNC brand powders and now even the smell of them as i try to drink that make me sick. So while doing some googleing i came upon "Nectar" band powders and have read some good things about them i was just checking with my VST family to see what you guys like best. have you tried them? recipies? fav flavor? just insite is all!

lynneo 15 Posted August 27, 2012 I did not like it much. I know it is supposed to be fruity, but it still had the powdered taste to me. I really like the Unjury Protein Drinks. Sometimes I put a no- or low- fat yogurt in it (like strawberry yogurt in the strawberry) and it makes it even better. Also it adds some more Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonbon916 15 Posted August 27, 2012 The premier pre-made shakes from costco are pretty good. They have 30Gms of PRO/shake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettysleeved1 173 Posted August 27, 2012 nectar is okay. I have the Fuzzy Navel and the Truffle. The thing is that whey Protein has a very distinctive taste and no matter how "fruity" you'll still taste the twinge of whey. I mix my Fuzzy Navel with Blue Raspberry Amino Fuel and I can still taste it but it's better. But, I'd never tell anyone that the Nectars taste like juice because...they don't. 2 GiiNaGiiNa408 and Need-a-Sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyntha DelTorrro 10 Posted August 27, 2012 I switched to the nectar drinks when just couldn't handle creamy shakes anymore. I have the Nectar Grab N' Go packets of Roadside Lemonade and the Lemon Tea. I add some lemon juice to both that helps mask the whey flavor/smell that all of these drinks have. They are offering a sample pack of all 14 flavors for only $14.00 w/ free shipping if you order using the toll free phone number from the Syntrax website. www.si03.com (that's s-i-zero-three - not the letter "o". ) Usually it's at least $2.00 per packet when ordering the single flavor boxes on Amazon.com.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Escape_Pod 358 Posted August 27, 2012 I used the Nectars early on when I was drinking a lot of shakes and needed a break from the vanilla-chocolate-strawberry routine. I liked Fuzzy Navel, Twisted cherry, and Lemon Tea. Now I still love a bit of the cherry mixed in to some plain greek yogurt - YUM! There are a couple of places that will sell you single-pack samples of the Nectars so you can try them out without committing to a large jug - Vitalady.com sells single- servings, and BJs Bariatrics does an 11-pack sampler that lets you pick which flavors you want to include and how many of each.

jbgirl5856 245 Posted September 1, 2012 My biggest complaint about nectar is how much it foams. I have the Roadside Lemonade and it foams so much when I mix it. Plus it does not taste like lemonade lol I was intrigued by it but was disappointed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izuri 428 Posted September 1, 2012 I didn't like the nectar brand - but I only tried a few flavors. They were wayyy too strong and a couple were sour to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted September 1, 2012 I like the caribbean cooler. My complaint is that they are thin. I like to blend it up with some frozen fruit/berries and make it thick almost like ice cream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amwr6582 26 Posted September 3, 2012 Hate them! Bought one of each flavor and thought they were terrible. Tasted like milk and fruit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
