Syntrax Nectar Protien Shakes

[Patienlywtng on my Curves 73]

These were my saving grace for pre-op diet as I had to have my shakes made with Water. They mixed easily and tasted really good.

I used the Cappacino and chocolate Truffle together for a morning shake. Great combo. I mixed 2 others as well, but can't remember now.

I have ordered my samples from www.bariatricpantry.com. The shipping was free and only took 2 days to get them in.

what are your favorite flavors?

[RebecaSparkles 247]

So far I tried the Syntrax nectar Roadside Lemonade. Made with lots of ice in Blender Bottle ( shake the bottle with a metal ball in it) the flavor was nice. Not odd tasting, no off flavors tasted like crystal light lemonade. I liked it.

Only problem was the foam on top. It was like a starbucks coffee -2" of foamy bubbles. Made it hard to drink.

My favorite so far out of the samples I got are fuzzy navel, strawberry kiwi, and crystal sky. I loved cappuccinos before surgery so I tried the Cappuccino one and it ended up being too sweet to me. That's odd for me to say something is too sweet lol

What does a Crystal Sky taste like?

The Crystal Sky flavor is blue, but it tastes like fruit punch. My favorites are Roadside Lemonade, Fuzzy Navel, and Pink Grapefruit. The caribbean cooler was okay - tastes kind of like a pina colada.

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but how do you prepare these Syntrax shakes? Is it a powder that you mix with Water and/or ice? I always think of shakes as being thick and made with some type of milk product, but I take it you do not mix these powders with milk. How many grams of Protein would a standard shake have if you mixed it with 16 oz of water? I am totally new to this Protein Shake thing but am sure I will become a pro

[RebecaSparkles 247]

The Syntrax comes as a powder. The ones I got - the sample sized ones are listed as 4 servings to a bag. One serving is mixed with 2-4oz of Water. So for a 16oz serving you use the whole package. Its 100 cal for a whole package & 24 grams of Protein.

I know some of the sweeter desert like flavors - vanilla torte, chocolate , mint cookie etc would be acceptably mixed with milk or milk substitute ( soy, almond , coconut) to increase the flavor/ consistency and boost the nutrition content.

But, I can tell you that the lemonade for me wouldn't of been good with milk. Maybe if I liked lemon custard or lemon curd I could of done it with milk but i don't so I didn't.

I love fuzzy navel,strawberry kiwi also I use cappuccinos in the morning with warm Water it's like my coffee this has been my life saver ..

[petra1124 33]

I like the cappuccino with almond milk...tastes great!!

[RebecaSparkles 247]

I've figured it out, The Syntrax Nectars taste like Jello mix before the Jello is cooled and set. Like if you make jello and add the hot Water and mix it up and lick the spoon.

I had the cherry and the lemonade flavors and I was struggling to find that flavor connection and that's it.

Once you're off sample packs, Amazon has best price for tubs. They also have flavors outside sampler pack. My favorite combination is true Natural Orange (no artificial sweetener) mixed with vanilla Bean in almond milk or Water - Orange Julius flavor! But main go-to is Lemon Tea. Mix 5-6 cubes of ice, water in Blender Bottle with powder and Metamucil dissolvable Fiber. shake, shake, shake and little whisk does the work. I drink one every morning even 15 months out not b/c I have to but because I LIKE IT! I'm down 140 pounds, past goal from 265 to 125 an maintaining for about 3 months now :-)

I just ordered my sample pack from BJ's Bariatrics and I am so excited but I am pretty sure that they won't get here by the time I come home from the hospital. Can anyone that has ordered from them tell me how long it takes to get what you order. I also went ahead and order the Unjury sample pack too and I would like to hear from anyone that can help, if they are good and how long it takes to get those also. I absolutely love this site. It is so helpful!
