I am looking for other options similar to Syntrax nectar. I like these because they are lightweight, like drinking a juice or lemonade, perfect over ice for summer. I never was a soda or juice drinker pre-surgery, but the flavors help me get the Water in, with the added bonus of 23g of Protein in a serving!

But it annoys me that you either pay for single use packets or a huge 30 serving "bucket" for $30some dollars. No in between options so you can have different flavors. I bought the bucket of lemonade and halfway through I was tired of it. And even with the Blender Bottle, it always has clumps when you shake and mix it, so for me its a hassle to clean at work, can't just rinse and go.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Another user just posted syntrax's number: 866-333-7403 x 803 where you can get 15 sample packs for 15 bucks plus $2 shipping. Great value!

BJs Bariatrics also sells Syntrax nectar sampler packs - 11 packets (keeps it under the max weight to ship first class) for $14.95 plus $5.12 shipping. It's more expensive than direct from Syntrax, but you get to pick your flavors in any combo you want. (Unless that's changed, that didn't use to be the case with Syntrax - you got one of each).

I'm a Syntrax fan but don't like the ones u mix with Water (strawberry kiwi, roadside lemonade, etc). I like the milk ones (my fav is cappucino).

Also, I wish I had known that Syntrax sells it's own samples packs. Got mine 11 ofr $15 from bj's bariatrics.com. Coulda gotten 4 for free! And u can choose all the same or mix them up from like 13 flavors...

I love my Syntrax Nectaur proteins! I mix them with Zero Vitamin Water. The water comes in many flavors and I use about half the bottle which would be 10 oz. The trick is mixing the Protein powder with a room temperature vitamin water. I try to do this the night before and put them in the fridge. It works best if the mixed drink can sit for about 5 min. on the counter before being made cold in the fridge. If I am on the run I put ice cubes in it and go. The key is to mix it at room temp. and then put it in the fridge or add ice after waiting 5 min. or so. Or else you will get some clumps.

The flavors I like are roadside lemonade, twisted cherry, grapefruit, carribean cooler, grape, fuzzy peach. The green apple is just a so, so for me but I don't mind it. I like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein too and it mixes a little better than the Nectaur but doesn't have as many flavor options.
