Syntrax Nectar Experts?

[Vidalia 122]

Okay, I have tried ALMOST all the Protein powders out there, but I have never tried the Syntrax nectar. Right now I am drinking only Premier Protein pre-made shakes with 30 grams in each. I am doing that because I have not found ANY powder that I really like yet and I am able to tolerate these Premier shakes even though I don't love them. I have heard so many rave reviews about the Syntrax Nectar I thought I would give it a whirl. I am thinking about ordering a sample package from My bariatric pantry online. I am thinking of the following flavors just because I have heard people say they like them: chocolate Truffle, Fuzzy Navel, vanilla Bean Torte, Cappuccino Latte.

Please give me your opinions on Syntrax Nectar and your favorite flavors if you like any of them. Also, is there any place to order them that would be a better deal than My Bariatri Pantry? It is a 10 pack sample pack for $18.99 plus shipping. I get to choose the flavors for the sample pack.

Thanks so much fellow sleevers!

Syntrax nectar saved my life in my first few weeks post-op! Here are my faves:

vanilla Bean Torte

chocolate Truffle

Double Stuffed Cookie (like liquid Oreos...yum!)

Fuzzy Navel*

Roadside Lemonade*

Lemon Tea*

Twisted Cherry* (reminds me of Jello before it sets)

Cappuccino or latte (can't remember which it is)

strawberry Kiwi*

strawberry Mousse

The ones I put the star next to are the "juice" type ones. I mixed them with 16 oz of Water and some ice and they were awesome. A really good break from the more milk-based heavier ones. I ordered mine from BJs Bariatrics. I can't remember how much they were, but it was a mix and match sample pack and they shipped super fast.

Good luck!

Love the nectar Protein shakes. Personally, I gravitate towards the fruit flavors because that is what makes them so different than other brands (everyone has chocolate and vanilla)...that said, I did try the double-stuffed cookie and enjoyed that w milk. I also know many people use the vanilla bean as a base to add sf syrups and extracts (root beer, orange etc) to.

Bj's Bariatrics is less than the site you mentioned (you get more packets, something like 11 or 13 packets, for 14.95 or so)

I have tried all the flavors, but the only one that I really like and still drink daily is the chocolate Truffle. My teenagers even liked it! I used to mix it with skim milk but recently have been using unsweetened almond milk. I have been using this since 2006 when I first had lap band and now with my revision since November. I usually buy it from the Vitamin Shoppe near me, and recently discovered they do free shipping if the order is high enough, so all my supplements (vitamin D3, Biotin, B-12, etc.) I now order online from the Vitamin Shoppe. I get points so I will get a rebate coupon at the end of the year that should be substantial.

I'm a big fan of the Syntrax milk-based powders; apart from Caribbean Cooler--which is yummy--I don't care for the fruity ones, but that may be because so far I've only tried mixing them with Water. juice would probably make them taste much nicer. For Breakfast, I drink Double-Stuffed Cookie mixed with Vanilla Almond Milk (brand name: So Delicious). The almond milk has extra Protein added (5g per 8oz.), so in my morning shake, I get about 30g total. I'm pre-op, so my shake is 12 oz rather than a smaller portion. This almond milk definitely lives up to the brand name!

I bought a bunch of sample packets and the only one that did not taste like medicine was chocolate truffle..... It taste like the best chocolate milk! My 3 year old to a sip and always ask for more. I'm on my 3rd or 4th large container! Also Vitamin shop carries the brand.

I’m wanting to use this with juice. I’m only 2 weeks post-op, and finding premade shakes I like is hard. I was thinking I could mix this is some juice and help to get my Protein in? Any suggestions

Syntrax Nectar in chocolate truffle is the only one I have tried. I just tried it for the first time last month because of the recent rave reviews. I was surprised but I love it. I put it in my coffee. It is not that sweet and mixes so well. I've been thinking of getting the lemonade one but I don't use a whole lot of Protein Powder these days so I probably will wait.

I love the fruity Syntrax Nectar flavors! Crystal sky, Twisted cherry, Roadside Lemonade, and strawberry kiwi are my favorites. I like that they are just a flat 100 calories per scoop with Water. They do foam up a bit after shaking but I usually let them settle for 5-10 minutes before I start drinking.

I can't stand the milky Protein Shakes anymore since post op so I can't suggest those.

I want to try the fuzzy navel one but it's always sold out! ☹️

All of you make me have hope! So I’ve tried powdered shakes and can’t seem to get it right. I am currently not working, because I’m only 2 1/2 weeks post-op, but after I heal I will be going to work and as a school bus driver I don’t always have a fridge so the powders would be nice to keep on hand for making shakes on the go. Currently using the premier pre-made shakes and they have to be ice cold.
I currently have organic Protein with super food (from Costco) and nectar and both are flavorless. I was thinking I would use these in in juice, but I can not seem to get it right.

I seem to keep getting chunks, or super gritty, or the foam will never go away.
any and all ideas are wanted and needed

thanks in advance,

chris

I couldn't get the powered smooth enough so got liquid. Fairlife choc. Other brands to switch up flavores- Carmel, cinnamon Swirl, premier strawb and vanilla. I add extracts to vanilla.
