Options like Syntrax Nectar



Recommended Posts

I am looking for other options similar to Syntrax Nectar. I like these because they are lightweight, like drinking a juice or lemonade, perfect over ice for summer. I never was a soda or juice drinker pre-surgery, but the flavors help me get the Water in, with the added bonus of 23g of Protein in a serving!

But it annoys me that you either pay for single use packets or a huge 30 serving "bucket" for $30some dollars. No in between options so you can have different flavors. I bought the bucket of lemonade and halfway through I was tired of it. And even with the Blender Bottle, it always has clumps when you shake and mix it, so for me its a hassle to clean at work, can't just rinse and go.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Another user just posted syntrax's number: 866-333-7403 x 803 where you can get 15 sample packs for 15 bucks plus $2 shipping. Great value!

BJs Bariatrics also sells Syntrax nectar sampler packs - 11 packets (keeps it under the max weight to ship first class) for $14.95 plus $5.12 shipping. It's more expensive than direct from Syntrax, but you get to pick your flavors in any combo you want. (Unless that's changed, that didn't use to be the case with Syntrax - you got one of each).

I'm a Syntrax fan but don't like the ones u mix with Water (strawberry kiwi, Roadside Lemonade, etc). I like the milk ones (my fav is cappucino).

Also, I wish I had known that Syntrax sells it's own samples packs. Got mine 11 ofr $15 from bj's bariatrics.com. Coulda gotten 4 for free! And u can choose all the same or mix them up from like 13 flavors...

I love my Syntrax Nectaur proteins! I mix them with Zero Vitamin Water. The Water comes in many flavors and I use about half the bottle which would be 10 oz. The trick is mixing the Protein powder with a room temperature Vitamin water. I try to do this the night before and put them in the fridge. It works best if the mixed drink can sit for about 5 min. on the counter before being made cold in the fridge. If I am on the run I put ice cubes in it and go. The key is to mix it at room temp. and then put it in the fridge or add ice after waiting 5 min. or so. Or else you will get some clumps.

The flavors I like are Roadside Lemonade, Twisted cherry, grapefruit, carribean cooler, grape, fuzzy peach. The green apple is just a so, so for me but I don't mind it. I like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein too and it mixes a little better than the Nectaur but doesn't have as many flavor options.

      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.
