Best Flavor Nectar for Water



Recommended Posts

Agree that the nectar sweets including double stuff cookie and chocolate truffle are really good with water!!! They are probably a reason for my success to lose my sweet tooth. Still drinking Syntrax nectar sweet shakes 10 months post op.

Good to know! I haven't tried the DS cookie flavor yet for fear it would trigger an old craving for the real thing. I'll have to try it!

I REALLY wanted to try the Double stuf flavor. What does it taste like exactly? I assume it mixes just as well as the others' date=' right?[/quote']

To me, the double stuff tastes like Cookies and cream or Oreo. It is not an overwhelming flavor, but is fairly yummy. The flavor is even better if you mix with milk. I used to mix with low fat reduced calorie soy milk, but now purely mix the Protein powders with Water for a different reason ( trying to eat Paleo style as much as possible).

You may just want to try out the Syntrax nectar sampler pack first to see if you enjoy it. Try out some of the other sweet flavors. You may find a few you like. Everyone has their own taste preferences. I have never had an issue mixing it up with Water. I use one of those blender bottles so it is just a few seconds of vigorous shaking. The Syntrax powder shakes also mix well with spoon and I believe serendipity can attest to this.

As an aside, I do not technically drink their nectar product any longer. At month 5, I have switched to Syntrax matrix Cookies and cream, which is awesome tasting also. It is my Breakfast shake every morning mixed with chia seeds when I roll out of bed at 6 am. The reason for the switch to matrix from nectar is that matrix is an extended release Protein that metabolizes in 4-5 hours instead of 1-2 hours. Keeps me satisfied longer. Long enough until my next meal 3 hours later. Matrix is about 10 dollars more expensive then the Nectar, but tastes just as good.

Finally, I am sure you (others) have heard this before: you may not like the same flavors of Protein Shake as a post op as you did as a pre op. This happened to me. I kind of enjoyed the fruity nectar flavors like peach and banana pre op, but hated them both post op. Fortunately, my love for cookies and cream never changed as I crossed over. This is another reason to try out the sample pack after surgery to determine what will work for you. I think my tastes for peach and banana have returned at about month 6.

Good luck and happy Protein Shake experimenting!

I just had some of the crystal sky and it was very good. It turns a blue color but is clear not milky.

Fuzzy navel just did not do it for me. I kept wondering if the recipe formulators at Syntrax misunderstood and actually filtered it through someone's grungy navel. (Okay, okay, I know, that was wrong. I'm just sayin'...)

I had a 12 oz. bottle of water-blended Double-Stuffed Cookie for Breakfast today (2 scoops are only 200 calories and kept me full from 7:00 a.m. till almost noon, and I'm not sleeved yet). I have to practically guard my 12 year old to keep her away from the container--she thinks it's a dessert milkshake! Oy.

Fiddleman, thanks for the info on the Matrix version, that will definitely come in handy when I need a longer lasting Protein. Is it comparable to nectar as far as calories/sugars/protein grams?

Yes, matrix is very comparable to nectar in terms of Protein, calories, sugars, etc. It has worked very well for me so far.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
