Syntrax Nectar Question!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys and gals! I received the sample pack of Syntrax Nexctar to try out the different flavors.So tonight I made a pack of the Apple flavored and mixed it with 16oz of ice cold Water. and it takes awful. Am I doing something wrong? Im almost afraid to try any of the other flavors cus this one tastes so bad. Should I have only used 8oz it says you can used between 8-16oz of water. How do you mix yours? Thanks!

I didn't care for the fruity juice flavors much myself! I think the only one I liked was the cherry and the lemonade was doable. I think those would probably taste better if you made an icee out of them with a blender!

The creamy flavors like mocha, chocolate and vanilla are really good!

I agree creamy with 8 oz almond milk.

I didn't care for the apple, but I thought their chocolate truffle and vanilla were really good.... well, by Protein Drink standards. I wound up buying tubs of those.

For the fruity ones, I mixed them with ice in my magic bullet so they were kinda like slushies. There were pretty good - but I still liked the choc and vanilla the best. I guess I must not be too crazy about them as I still have several packets from that sample pack! Shoulda had them over the summer as I just get too cold now having icey drinks like that!

The only fruity one I like was the carribean cooler. Also I would blend it in un-iced Water first and then add the ice cubes. Found that most Protein Drinks do not mix as well in liquid that is too hot or too cold. I liked the Cappuccino latte for a couple months but now it is too sweet for me.

:) thats why its awesome to get the sample pack that way your not wasting your money on the tubs. I personally like them a little weaker. I mix them in about 20-24 oz of tap Water. I then freeze them til slushy and drink them in a mixer container with the whisk ball. I def would do them in a blender but its much easier to freeze and do it that way :) so maybe try adding a little bit more water and doing then either with crushed ice, blender or frozen

16 of liquid is too much. They are kind of watery to begin with, compared to other Protein Drinks. I've added sf pudding mixes to some of them to thicken them up, cause I like my Protein drinks to be like milk shakes, with ice in the blender.

I believe it says on there 8-16oz? is what you can mix them with. I wish I liked milkshakes so I could eat the creamy ones with milk. For some reason with the milk it grosses me out :( and I love milk

yeah, I never use real milk. I use almond milk, or sometimes I use half Hood Carb countdown, and half Water.< /p>

I tried strawberry Kiwi and Fuzzy Navel. I love them both! I mix in room temperature Water and add ice cubes. I didn't care for the Carribean Cooler as much. Those are the only ones I've tried. I would like to try the chocolate or cappuccino but I'm so tired of trying Protein drinks that I'll stick with these for awhile.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
