I'm not on the liquid diet yet, but after reading the posts on here, I thought I would order some of the samples to see what I would like. I realize that my tastes may change after surgery, but this will give me an idea at least. So, I figured I would try one a day or so until I go on the liquid diet (I ordered a lot of samples) when I know I'll have to up it.

Today, I had the Syntrax nectar Twisted Cherry. I mixed the 26g pouch in with about 12 ounces of Water. First sips aren't too bad. No real bad odor and while there is a bit of an aftertaste, it's not totally disgusting. I actually like it.

What kind of surprised me though was on this packet (which I got from Nashua Nutrition who said the whole packet was one serving), it said there were 4 servings in the packet! But, looking at the actual nutritional values, it indicates that there is 6 g Protein per serving - which taking the whole packet would equate to 24 g (and what I thought I was for a single serving). Is this typical - where the package labeling indicates smaller serving sizes than we are supposed to have?

I use these! I also bought the sample packets and fell in love with the Cappuccino flavor! I put 2 scoops (48g protein) in 20oz of water and ice and drink that all morning! I love it! When this one's gone I'm probably buy the Twisted Cherry flavor. I liked that one the best, as well as the Fuzzy Navel. But actually, I liked them all except for the Tea one. I dont really care for Iced Tea.

That is just how Nectar labels and what they consider a "serving." Always good to check serving size - they do vary!

Thanks. I've been checking nutrition labels long before it became "fashionable" to do so. That one just surprised me a bit.

I'm not a fan of coffee or tea - so I didn't order those sample flavors. I typically love fruit juices though, so I was glad to see that variety and ordered practically every "juice" flavor there was to sample.

I just got my nectar sample pack from www.mybariatricpantry.com yesterday, and tried the fuzzy navel for the first time.... OMG I am in love. I have been struggling to find a juice type Protein drink that isn't chocolate/vanilla/straw shakey, and this looks like the winner. I am going on 2 weeks post op and have had a LOT of trouble getting my protein in. I just can't drink anything with the protein aftertaste. Nectar has whey protein and at 24 grams of protein a serving (the trial packets at least, only have 100 calories, I don't think that's too bad). The only thing is, I mixed it in with about 20 grams of Water, since I'd never tried it before... It was a little TOO watered-down. I think with a little less water it'd taste even better

Can't wait to try the cherry and the others! Thanks for your thoughts on the other flavors!!
