Need help...Nectar Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I have heard from so many of you how great the nectar Protein Powder is, so I was super excited to get my sample pack in the mail. I mixed the Crystal Sky pack with 16 oz of Water. Unfortunately the taste is horrible to me! It was hard to mix it for starters. When I tasted it, all I could taste was that strong Protein taste. I cannot hardly get this down. Any suggestions??

I've never tried the crystal sky flavor. The fuzzy navel is awesome, Cookies and cream, mint cookies and cream, strawberries and cream, are all sinfully good!

Pre-op I really like most of the flavors. I never mixed them with Water though. I always mixed mine with milk.

Post surgery I couldn't stand the taste of any Protein powders at all. Had to give them up.

I like the grapefruit mixed with Water and a little Crystal light lemonade. Not a fan of the Crystal Sky, apple, or tea flavors. Cookies and Cream mixed with soy milk was yummy. I don't remember the name, but there was one flavor that was coconut and pineapple and it was really good too.

Did you use milk or Water? It is the strong Protein taste that is killing me. I hope the other flavors somehow mask it.

I did get a sample pack of those as well. Did you use milk with the matrix line?

I did not like the Crystal Sky flavor at all! I drink Fuzzy Navel almost every morning for Breakfast and actually like it. And I am not a fan of artificial sweetener or Protein powder!

@@Misty1975 I use the 30 calorie almond milk. I will use Water with the fuzzy naval, and strawberry cream when I cannot use full liquids. (I won't use water with the Cookies and cream ones. Those are so yummy I just can't put the yumminess into words!)

I have never tried that flavor. I like the Cappuccino one made with Water and with lots of ice. I love the Fuzzy Navel or caribbean cooler made with Water and with lots of ice. I use half milk half water to make the vanilla Bean torte, Cookies and cream, chocolate Truffle.

I hear the Lemonaide is pretty good, but haven't tried that one yet.

I use the grape or wild cherry mixed with Water. I like them over ice or almost frozen like a slushy.

I use Water with the matrix line. I went to Nashua Nutrition and picked samples that sounded good to me (they sell samples of anything they carry for $1.99).

I like the nectar iced tea okay and the fuzzy navel... But don't love em. The rest I can't stand.

Matrix my favorites are Peanut Butter cookie and mint cookie. But I use the chocolate and vanilla as bases for most of my shakes, adding in sugar free Torani syrups, Peanut Butter or PB2, etc.

Now that I am at goal and maintenance my go to on mornings I run is vanilla matrix w half a plain greek yogert (Fage) half a banana and some berries (or pomegranate arils) blended w enough water to make it liquid. YUM and keeps me going for hours!

I ordered some of the fuzzy navel and i was able to do them for a week but now I can't stand them.

I loved the pure Protein and Premier Protein before surgery (they tasted like milk shakes to me!) but again now post op I can't stand them! I can't wait to get on full foods so I can get my Protein in other ways. I am planning on ordering some unflavored protein to add it to my food.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
