I'd like to try the Nectar in water.... any opinions on the best flavor?

I REALLY wanted to try the Double stuf flavor. What does it taste like exactly? I assume it mixes just as well as the others' date=' right?[/quote']

To me, the double stuff tastes like Cookies and cream or Oreo. It is not an overwhelming flavor, but is fairly yummy. The flavor is even better if you mix with milk. I used to mix with low fat reduced calorie soy milk, but now purely mix the Protein powders with Water for a different reason ( trying to eat Paleo style as much as possible).

You may just want to try out the Syntrax nectar sampler pack first to see if you enjoy it. Try out some of the other sweet flavors. You may find a few you like. Everyone has their own taste preferences. I have never had an issue mixing it up with water. I use one of those blender bottles so it is just a few seconds of vigorous shaking. The Syntrax powder shakes also mix well with spoon and I believe serendipity can attest to this.

As an aside, I do not technically drink their nectar product any longer. At month 5, I have switched to Syntrax matrix cookies and cream, which is awesome tasting also. It is my Breakfast shake every morning mixed with chia seeds when I roll out of bed at 6 am. The reason for the switch to matrix from nectar is that matrix is an extended release protein that metabolizes in 4-5 hours instead of 1-2 hours. Keeps me satisfied longer. Long enough until my next meal 3 hours later. Matrix is about 10 dollars more expensive then the Nectar, but tastes just as good.

Finally, I am sure you (others) have heard this before: you may not like the same flavors of Protein Shake as a post op as you did as a pre op. This happened to me. I kind of enjoyed the fruity nectar flavors like peach and banana pre op, but hated them both post op. Fortunately, my love for cookies and cream never changed as I crossed over. This is another reason to try out the sample pack after surgery to determine what will work for you. I think my tastes for peach and banana have returned at about month 6.

Good luck and happy protein shake experimenting!

I just had some of the crystal sky and it was very good. It turns a blue color but is clear not milky.

Fuzzy nave is on back order btw in the sample packs (I don't know about regular quantities...)

Fuzzy navel just did not do it for me. I kept wondering if the recipe formulators at Syntrax misunderstood and actually filtered it through someone's grungy navel. (Okay, okay, I know, that was wrong. I'm just sayin'...)

I had a 12 oz. bottle of water-blended Double-Stuffed Cookie for breakfast today (2 scoops are only 200 calories and kept me full from 7:00 a.m. till almost noon, and I'm not sleeved yet). I have to practically guard my 12 year old to keep her away from the container--she thinks it's a dessert milkshake! Oy.

Fiddleman, thanks for the info on the Matrix version, that will definitely come in handy when I need a longer lasting Protein. Is it comparable to nectar as far as calories/sugars/protein grams?

I mixed the kiwi strawberry in an Italian lemon ice and it was yummy!!

Yes, matrix is very comparable to nectar in terms of protein, calories, sugars, etc. It has worked very well for me so far.
