karpouzian 94 Posted June 23, 2013 So far, Roadside Lemonade, and Cherry are AWESOME as add-ins for SF Jello jigglers. caribbean cooler is NOT a yummy popsicle (Though I'll probably eat the 3 1/2 I have left). Crystal Sky isn't so yummy as a normal shake.< /p> Hrm... I wonder if I add a little davinci's Syrup to the caribbean cooler popsicles... Nahh, I don't think that will help. 1 cincykat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takingbackcontrol 137 Posted June 23, 2013 So are you making p the nectar and using it as the liquid for Jello?? Genius, it sounds like to me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted June 23, 2013 I just got my shipment of 11 samplers of nectar. When I had my lapband 3 1/2 yrs ago, I blindly ordered about $180 worth of Protein drinks from GNC.com. Hated them all. Especially the Isopures. Yuck. This time I decided to try a few before my July 16th surgery. The $15 ones from Walmart are ok, not great but ok. So if I don't like the Nectars (haven't tried them yet), I think I'll stick to the Walmart choc and strawberry ones. They're decent for 4 weeks worth of eating! Looking forward to the Roadside Lemonade! Got cherry too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueJH 205 Posted June 23, 2013 Haven't been a huge fan of the Nectars, other than the Fuzzy Navel I sometimes have in the morning. Choking down the chocolate Truffle now. It could also be that I'm at the end of my two weeks on the Protein Shakes and am very sick of them! Can't wait to meet with my NUT on Tuesday to go onto the next phase!!

Kami63 215 Posted June 23, 2013 I didn't get cherry and I am regretting it. I have seen so many that say they love that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, put the Jello powder in, then the boiling Water, stir 'till dissolved. That reduces the heat (because apparently Water over 140 degrees does funky stuff to protein), and then I whisk in the Protein powder.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaDM 194 Posted June 24, 2013 I ordered a pack of samples on eBay and got one of each flavor. The chocolate truffle and double stuff cookie are both fantastic! I mixed them with soymilk. The Cappuccino was tolerable, but not terrific. I am still pre-op and didn't feel that any of them have given lasting fullness as a Meal Replacement. I am hopeful that will change after surgery. I also have tried the lemon tea and apple ecstasy mixed with Water and an evening "snack". The tea wasn't great, but the apple was ok. I def plan on buying a full size container of the chocolate truffle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
extracat 14 Posted June 24, 2013 I'm pre-op and trying to lose both lose weight and get accustomed to not eating real food so I'm trying to do a pre-pre-op diet using Protein shakes as Meal Replacements. I ordered a sample pack of Syntrax nectar and I just tried the Lemon Tea and I was pleasantly surprised. I really expected it to be gross, but it was drinkable. I'm from the South and sweet tea is my downfall and one of my favorite things in the world so the thought of powedered tea instead of fresh brewed was weird to me to start with. I also don't like lemon in my tea, but I found this bearable. It was much better than I expected, to say the least. I also ordered powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder and I have to say the Syntrax mixes up about a thousand times better than the Unjury. With the Unjury, I'm getting a lot of wasted Protein because it all clumps at the top of my milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the Unjury, I'm getting a lot of wasted Protein because it all clumps at the top of my milk. I'm a big fan of Syntrax--the Double Stuffed Cookie and vanilla Bean Torte are my two big favorites so far. When you blend the Unjury, are you using a spoon, or a blender-bottle, or a blender? I think the Syntrax dissoves really well, but if you want to avoid wasting your Unjury, maybe a blender or blender-bottle will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
extracat 14 Posted June 24, 2013 I've been using either a spoon or a Blender Bottle (with the metal blender ball in it) to mix the Unjury. Anything that requires the use of an electric blender is something I don't want to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
