Big box of samples. Now what?



Recommended Posts

I'm about six months pre-op but to get ahead of things, I ordered a box of nectar Protein samples. Each pack is one ounce and 23g of protein per packet. Supposedly there is one of each flavor. :)

I want to try one or two but I haven't an idea as to what to do with them? shakes? Mix in my oatmeal? What would you do with these samples?

shakes. I am not a fan in my Cereal but everyone's tastes are different.

I am a huge fan of the fuzzy naval made with Water, vanilla bean torte made with milk and caribbean cooler made with Water is pretty good too.

Have fun but prepare yourself if you are not yet used to Protein shakes they do take some getting used to.

For me the easiest one to get used to is Premier Protein ready made shakes. They can be purchased at Sam's and costco. They taste more like thick chocolate milk. They also have strawberries and cream as well as vanilla. For me chocolate tastes the best, it is not overly sweet.

I do like the Nectars in water as a really nice change though.

I liked the fruit Nectars in Water. Some of the others I mixed with unsweetened almond milk.

I ordered the sample pack pre-op. Loved most of the flavors but Fuzzy Navel and Roadside Lemonaid were my favorite. So I ordered two of the large jugs of powder to have ready for after surgery.

THEN SURGERY HAPPENED...

And I cannot stand even the smell of them. The one and only thing I have up-chucked since surgery.

Don't forget that your tastes might change after surgery...so don't make the same mistake I did and order so much before hand.

So far between the Isopure and the Syntrax nectar I am about about 80 bucks worth of Protein that I can't tolerate.

Thank you everyone for the tips on my samples.The Fuzzy Navel was good! I think I'm going to keep the rest for when I actually need them.

I've tried that and the premier Protein ready made shakes. (chocolate and Vanilla. strawberry awaits me!) I've heard that your tastes can change post-op so I'm just having fun trying new things that I might use for now. I won't go all out until I know what I like later on.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
