Nectar Protein Powder By Syntrax - ?



Recommended Posts

I've been reading a lot of reviews on the nectar Protein powder. Quite a few flavors and folks seem to like them. Anyone here try them?

I'm thinking about ordering a sample package of them. Some websites sell a 13 flavor pack. From what I'm reading it mixes easily and the fruit ones, like apple remind folks of jolly ranchers and the cherry reminds folks of Kool-aid. Sounds better than some of the powders I've tried.

The bariatric center I'm going to gave me a sample but, I haven't tried it yet. If I like that one, I'm going to order a sample pack of the flavors because it's sort of pricey (what Protein shake isn't really) in the larger containers. Then I'll know which ones I like and don't like. I'll definitely let you know :)

What Protein shakes have you tried and liked?

I have this and love it. It dissolves instantly and tastes like fruit punch. So far I'm loving Crystal Sky... I will try apple next.

I really like the vanilla Bean Torte. I mix it with fat free milk, but I've also used the chocolate and mixed it with Ice and Water in a blender. I don't like the lemonade flavor.

Mybariatricpantry.com sells the sample pack. Everyone has different tastes so I would buy that. I hated the Carribean Cooler (although I LOVE pinapple and coconut), Crystal Sky and some of the others.

So far I like the Lemon Tea. I still have to try the Pink Grapefruit and some others. I have had a rough time finding flavors that I like. The sample pack is the best way to go!

I found the best option for me was unjury (unjury.com) unflavored powder. I mix that in Raspberry Ice Crystal Light and I love it. I also throw that into a stew or chili. Can't even tell!

For chocolate... I love Champion Nutrition's Pure whey Protien Stack. I add a few drops of coconut extract!! YUM. But I can't do chocolate everyday... I really prefer the unflavored from Unjury!

Hope that helps!

I can buy sample sizes of many flavored here at Drug Emporium. I've tried several pre surgery and liked them well enough. Waiting to get past my 2 week clear liquid post surgery stage to try them again.

I bought the Syntax Apple one and I put a scoop in my nalgene with lots of ice and a little dry mix of Wylers (sugar-free, of course) lemonade. This tastes like an apple martini - minus the vodka ;-), but the lemonade makes it sweet and a little tart - just right for me. I can drink the entire nalgene bottle as long as the ice lasts. When it gets warm, it gets a little more difficult so I try to get it all in before the ice melts - 23 g of protein!!

I was using the unjury chicken Soup as a high-protein snack, but burned myself out on it - still like it, but may go back to it in the winter when I'm looking for something warm instead of something cold.

The mint cookie I don't like so far post op. It makes me neausated. I hope I can drink it soon. It's pricey.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
