I just got the Nectar Strawberry Kiwi flavor and I am in love!!! It does not even taste like a regular protein shake lol

Any of you tried it before? I think I am becoming addicted to them…..

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:

These are great suggestions! Thank you all so much! I ordered my sample pack so I can't wait to try them.

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)

Yesterday at costco I realized the Premier premade drinks everyone raves about are not lactose free :banghead: and my unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is running out, so I will check if Nektar is Isolate whey. Thanks Liliana and everyone else!

Just went to their website and they have free shipping on the variety pack. The price is $13.00 and they are lactose free! yeah!

I know its weird but I like the Nectar grapefruit flavor... I think I just got tired of cloyingly sweet protein drinks.

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.

They are also sold at the vitamin shoppe.
