KRB829 47 Posted January 6, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abetterme4.2 268 Posted January 6, 2013 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. 1 Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clk 3,519 Posted January 6, 2013 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. ~Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted January 6, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephers65 14 Posted January 7, 2013 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveMaui 3 Posted January 7, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephers65 14 Posted January 7, 2013 I'm week 5, when can we have OJ? I don't see it on my list. Great idea for the future thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveMaui 3 Posted January 8, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
