StephBtoo 28 Posted August 8, 2015 Hi all, I just got a box of sample Syntrax nectar packages. The packages say to mix 2-4 oz of water/milk with 1/4 of the package? I'd like to hear from people who like Syntrax Nectar, your experiences with using it. Do you dump the package into a container to try to divide it into 4ths, Has anyone figured out a measurement for a 1/4 a package (i.e. 2 tablespoons, 3 tablespoons, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon???). Do you like it better with a different portion of Water to mix (6oz Water with 2 tablespoons of mix, etc...). Do you like certain flavors better with more or less water? I know some of this is up to a person's taste but I really would like to know what someone has found works for them!! I am really curious as to how different people use their Syntrax Nectar.< /p> Thanks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Kate_ 2,224 Posted August 8, 2015 I use a scoop not a 1/4 of a scoop as stated on the nutritional guideline. I usually put it in 10 oz of Water and I love it. Not sure about the packets but I would suggest using the whole packet in a good amount of Fluid and see how that tastes to you. Enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted August 8, 2015 Just use a full scoop or a full packet in about 8 -10 oz of Water or milk. If for some reason you really want to use a quarter scoop or quarter packet, weigh it. Put your Blender Bottle or beaker with the liquid on your digital food scale, set it to grams, tare it out, and then slowly shake the powder in until you get the right number -- I think it's 7 grams for most Syntrax products.

Stevehud 1,790 Posted August 8, 2015 Yes use a full scoop or full packet , i suggest the fruit flavors use Water and the sweets , i.e. chocolate, cookie, vanilla, with skim or 1% or almond milk , and i use a lot less Fluid as well. i use 6 ounces of Water or milk per full scoop. using a 1/4 scoop or packet is very little Protein, it would only be 6 grams of Protein which is very very small. Also using ice cubes in a blender with the mixes makes for an awesome shake consistency and cooling in the warm summer months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wantingabetterlife 364 Posted August 8, 2015 I use the Lemon Iced Tea. I mix a whole scoop (in the big tub) with a 16oz bottle of Water. It's more Water than recommended but I don't like mine too sweet. It's really up to you and how strong you like your drink! Start out with adding a smaller portion of water and if it's too thick, add some more water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajcarl 18 Posted August 9, 2015 I put it in a bottle of Water and sip. Otherwise it's too strong and sweet for me. And try their coffee latte flavor it's great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted August 9, 2015 I use the grab and go packets and use the whole thing in 10 ounces of Water or milk depending on the flavor. vanilla Bean Torte is way better with milk Fuzzy naval is better with Water caribbean cooler is better with water I use a cup that has a shaker ball because I cannot tolerate the grit from powdered Protein shakes. The ball certainly helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjstark 74 Posted August 9, 2015 @ As a fellow Brit, I thought I'd ask, what are your fave flavours? Want to switch to this because the milkshake-type Protein Shakes make me feel sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted August 9, 2015 @@Alex Brecher Amazon -- I have Prime so I get free delivery within two days. Or sometimes at the Vitamin Shoppe (brick and mortar) I will check to see if they have any good sales. I got a 2 lb jug of my favorite flavor (Cappuccino) for $18 that way.
