Has anyone out there used nectar Protein? If so what is your favorite flavor???

I just bought some nectar - Roadside Lemonade and Nectar - Apple Ecstasy today and mixed them together with some frozen pineapple chucks and added 2 - Stevia liquid - Apricot Nectar drops it was great! I really do not like Protein Drinks, but I will be using this combination for a while.

To begin with, I will say I mix mine Water. I mix none with milk and I know that alters the flavor. Just some thing to keep in mind. ;)

Cappuccino. I like it. Mild coffee flavor, not heavy at all. Almost like a weak - flavored coffee candy

chocolate truffle - it's ok.

vanilla bean torte - it's ok. Tolerable

Cookies and cream - took awhile to drink. I'd be ok if I never had it again but didn't make me vomit. Probably Tate's better with milk.

Lemon tea (can't remember the exact name) - was actually ok with it. Change of pace.

strawberry - ok. Sure it's better with milk

Apple ecstasy - could not tolerate it all. Bleh

Fuzzy navel - nope. Not ever drinking it again

caribbean cooler - yuck.

I've pretty much had them all, I just can't think of them right now, lol. When I do, I'll come back and edit. :)

I mix with Water, coffee or tea. I tried samples of almost all the fruit flavors (got mine on Vitalady's site) and hated every one. I was surprised but my tastes have changed. I like vanilla, chocolate and Cappuccino, as well as the unflavored. I mix two scoops into 10-12 oz. of liquid and get my Protein boost in that way. I still don't like to eat Breakfast and I like to keep my Protein high (90+ grams a day) because I feel better with higher protein. I'm more than two years out and of all the many Proteins I've tried this is my favorite brand.

I like the nectar sweets the best. Cookies and creme is my go to shake every day now for months. I also like chocolate truffle mixed with PB2 to create a quasi Reece's flavor. I do not like much of the fruit flavors and absolutely cannot stand the fuzzy navel flavor. I was really a peach and banana flavor person pre surgery, but have a lot of issues tolerating these flavors post surgery in just about any form. It is interesting how our tastes change after surgery.

Thanks for the info guys, it should help with my flavor Choice and brands to try. I just need it for some variety, chocolate everyday for 2 months Is getting boring. I like to get 90 grams of Protein a day, time to mix it up!!!

I choked down the first couple that I made with Water. I saw that someone mixed the Fuzzy Navel with orange juice. Drinking one of those right now and am enjoying it.

I am sure the OJ is not preferred but I have only been getting in about 300 calories a day so I figured it was worth the calories to get the Protein. The sugar seemed to settle ok as well.

      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.
