Elode 8,093 Posted October 18, 2014 Hi, has anyone tried the Syntrax Nectar Protein and if so what flavor would you recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan909 52 Posted October 18, 2014 I tried the fuzzy navel and kiwi strawberry. I liked the fuzzy navel with the recommended amount of Water . I had to really water down the strawberry kiwi, it was a bit strong with an after taste. Tomorrow I'm trying the cherry flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted October 18, 2014 Ok awesome I have ordered the fuzzy naval because I read a bunch of good reviews about it. I wanted to order two kinds but the reviews were all so mixed on the others I didn't know what to do. You will have to let me know about the cherry! I will be having VSG surgery on 11/3 and I heard taste can change so we shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larly109 19 Posted October 18, 2014 I've tried a few of them. Roadside Lemonade, Grape, and caribbean cooler weren't bad. I really liked the strawberry Mousse mixed in milk. I also liked the Crystal Sky in ice Water. I have noticed that they don't dissolve well in ice water, so I use room temp/tap mix it well and then add ice after it's dissolved. I like to use a shaker bottle because the Protein tends to settle a bit as it sits, so I shake again as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvin_Life125 558 Posted October 18, 2014 I have only tried the fuzzy naval and I really liked it. Check out Nashua Nutrition website and you can order samples of every flavor of Syntrax Nectar along with samples of almost everything they sell. Samples are around $1.95 each and I ordered 2-3 samples of many, many flavors to check out post op. I don't want to try them out until after surgery since my tastes can change. No sense in wasting a perfectly good sample now when I may or may not like it after surgery when I will need them the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted October 18, 2014 Ok thank you for the advice on how to mix it! I really debated on the crystal sky. I also heard the Cappuccino was really good but if I can't have the real coffee I will pass for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted October 18, 2014 @@Luvin_Life125, thank you for the advice I will check that website out. I know I should have waited but I'm just to darn excited to get stuff lol! I will order some samples and hope I like the tub I already bought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted October 18, 2014 @@Larly109 sorry I responded to you above but I'm not sure I did it right this is my first time on here, I also just wanted to tell you I watched a YouTube video of a lady making the blue sky drink and she added some sugar free banana Syrup to it.

Luvin_Life125 558 Posted October 18, 2014 Elode- I was excited to try out the Protein Shake samples also. That is how I found I like the fuzzy naval one! I am a very frugal person so I had a serious conversation with myself. That was the only way I could restrain myself from trying more of the flavors. make sure you sign up for the Nashua Nutrition email newsletter. Every few weeks they offer free shipping on orders of $49 or more. I waited until the free shipping offer and then ordered $50 worth of samples. The sample packs will also come in handy when I travel. They definitely won't go to waste. Definitely share any great Protein powders you find too. I am always looking for something new to try. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elode 8,093 Posted October 18, 2014 @@Luvin_Life125 Ha! Ok I will defiantly share when I find a good one ! So far I've had the Premier Protein (I really like it in chocolate) and I've tried the Isopure ready-read drinks. They are not wonderful but with 40 grams of Protein a bottle I hope I can stomach them after surgery. I bought my fuzzy naval tub from vitacost . They gave me a10 off coupon for signing up for the emails so I only paid $27 for the tub. I also needed To buy Vitamins so I just ordered it all together. The prices are really good.

JerzyTomato74 91 Posted October 20, 2014 I got a pack of 12 samples from bariatricpal.com. I've only tried the lemonade and cherry so far and both are pretty good. It mixes well also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maxcimax 220 Posted October 20, 2014 I buy the Syntrax Protein individual samples too. I get mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. They guy there is the one that turned me on to Syntrax Protein. I like the vanilla Bean Torte along with others people have mentioned. The difference is I mix mine with unsweetened Soy Milk. I tried the Water & I just didn't like the flavor as much. I don't like water anyway so I've had an issue with getting in enough of it each day. Thank goodness the Protein Drinks count towards the 64 ozs. I use a Ninja to mix my drinks.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
