What Do You Guys Think About Nectar Protein Shakes?



Recommended Posts

Love the vanilla Bean Torte and Latte Cappuccino flavors in my morning coffee! I make a 16 oz. coffee/protein drink every morning - sometimes iced, sometimes hot and it definitely helps keep the weight off and my Protein intake up.

Cheri, how do you prepare it hot?! I love Hot drinks, especially now in the winter, but I can't seem to be able to get my Proteins to work in hot liquid -- they clump up or remain in a lumpy texture. Any tricks or tips?! Thanks!!!!

I brew the coffee into a measuring cup and add one ice cube, bringing it down from scalding hot to something more manageable. Then I pour it into my shaker cup (I use one with a wire ball) and add my Protein powder and usually a little cold Creamer, too. I shake it all up, taking a break to pop the lid of the shaker cup halfway through so it won't explode on me. No clumps, no fuss! Nice hot coffee, too. If you're someone that needs to drink scalding hot lava coffee it won't work for you, but I never touch my coffee until I won't burn myself, anyway. :smile1:

I buy mine from mybariatricpantry.com

You can buy a them in individual servings which make them so easy to travel with. Each box comes with 12 individual packets, each one scoop.

(BTW - The Pantry Selections hot chocolate is also one of my staples...low cal, low carb with 15 grams of protein)

Thanks Liliana and everyone else!

Excellent! Thank for the tip. I actually have the shaker cup with the ball whisk! I tried my bullet but as you say things tend to explode. Also, I tried the mixer you submerge, but it's messy, not enough liquid etc. Mixing slowly by hand left clumps. I never thougth of the ball whisk. DUH! Although I did try a regular whisk. Somehow I could not get the hang of it. I think putting it in that cup and whisking and releasing the pressure should do the trick. I don't like things too hot either so your technique should work. Can't wait to try it out. I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the website - I ordered from them. Actually website listed a phone number to call. I received the sample pack today so it took only a few days to get here. Haven't tried any yet but am excited I have them for preop diet in a couple weeks. Other sites were more money and charged shipping. This one did not.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
