Nectar Protein Mix



Recommended Posts

So I was SOOO excited to receive my sample packets of my nectar, so on Saturday I laid them out, picked the Wild Grape, opened the packet to mix in my jug and I mixed and mixed and still couldn't get the lumps out completely. So after getting most of them out I poured some in a glass and took a taste, it was horrible! I couldn't get passed the powdery, thick consistency.

Does anyone have any suggestions, I really want to like them.

I had the same problem with Protein shake powder. I tried to mix it by hand. I finally bought a Ninja electric blender with a single serving cup and that made the shakes palitable.

A Blender Bottle works well too, stirring has never worked for me regardless of the Protein Powder.< /p>

I have always used a blender because i would add ice to make it a bit thicker

I agree blender work best for shakes. The blender also allows you to add things like Greek yogurt or fruit.

A blender or Blender Bottle will help with the lumps. I also like to add ice to make them frothy. I usually add more Water than is recommended, too. Depending on what stage you're in, that may not be the best option, but if I Water down the fruity flavors enough, it tastes like drinking crystal light or something.

All that said, keep trying different flavors. I didn't like the grape either, but the fruit Punch and Fuzzy Navel ones are two of my all-time favorites!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, looks like maybe a blender with some ice might be the answer to my "dilemma".

      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.
