Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I got tired of my GNC Protein and decided to go with a Protein Powder that's highly recommended by my surgeon's office and his previous patients--Syntrax nectar. I picked "Fuzzy Navel" flavor. It was only $30 off Amazon for 2 lbs! I wanted the sample pack, but it was the same price as the 2lb tub so...value wise it didn't make sense. This one also had the highest ratings regarding flavor so I hope I don't regret this :P

Anyone else use Syntrax Nectar?

I purchased the cherry and the tropical island I think it was called... I was surprised at how thick it was... which was the reason I got it...ppl said it was juice like... it's still got that thick whey texture that I don't like... the reg Protein texture was making me want to vomit tmi sorry... the flavor was good but I didn't buy anymore of it. Hope u like it!!

I actually just tried the Fuzzy Navel flavor for the first time yesterday; it was perfectly acceptable! And that's actually fairly high praise for a Protein Drink. ;)

It's rather Tang-like, but with a little peach. I find I like these better mixed with a little more Water -- I do about 10 oz. (or 8 oz. and a couple of ice cubes) for a single scoop, rather than the 8 oz of Fluid I usually use for other Protein Drinks. But the texture is closer to juice than it is to a typical shake (I didn't find it to be particularly thick at all), and the flavors I've tried so far, while not exact facsimiles of the fruits they mimic, are still a nice break from the chocolate/vanilla/caramel routine. It's also nice to get a dose of Protein and some water at the same time. (I've tried mixing other Protein Shakes with water, but even the good ones, like ON Double chocolate, turned out absolutely vile. This one works great with water.)

It's nice to hear when someone enjoyed a product my body refused(hate that textures affect me so differentlynow)... I even tried diluting it with more water like u did... still didn't work for me... when I bought it I was hoping it would be close to the clear Protein drinks... the supplement store that I purchased it from didn't have samples of that brand... happy sipping :)

I liked the Fuzzy Naval too and I'm extremely picky about Protein drinks. The Iced Lemon Tea flavor is good too.

      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.
