Syntrax Nectar



Recommended Posts

So I just got my sample packs of nectar and am so disappointed. They have a super strange flavor and smell. Have any of you not liked these and found ways of making them tolerable?

I really hated the 'clear' ones too. But I LOVE the nectar chocolate Truffle that is in the sample pack. I found I could mix a little in with other simialr regular drinks like crystal light but for the most part I just didn't use them. I still have a bunch if anyone wants them. lol

I love them too. I add lots of Water to them and prefer strawberry kiwi, fuzzy naval and tropical nectar. You could try some crystal light. I put them in a container with a small opening to drink from so I don't get much of a smell. I know how frustrating finding Protein Drinks can be as I can't stand anything milky tasting so all those chocolate ones make me want to vomit. Good luck...

I just got the big tub of the Iced Tea flavor and I love it! Ok maybe love is a strong word, but it's so much better than the chalky thick chocolate & vanilla powders I had before. I put 2 scoops (23g Protein each) into my 32oz Water bottle.

I want to get the Lemonade one too before summer. I wish I knew about Syntrax nectar 14 weeks ago.

but I agree, it does smell kind of funky

Best prices are at the Vitamin store (after shipping etc) Amazon is no deal

I have prime and I don't pay shipping and get my order within 2 business days. Works great for me because the closest Vitamin store is an hour away...

Just a Protein drink....not milky like most. If you pour it over tons of ice it's not horrible. They sell sample packs, just google it! Fuzzy navel is my favorite ( don't love it, tolerate it :)-) I also prefer the Syntrax sweets if I'm going to do a shake.

      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.
