Hey all...ordered a Nectar protein variety pack last night...can't wait to try it.. anyone use it?? What are your favorite protein shakes? I have horrible texture issues so I cant drink anything too thick. Thanks!

Kayla where did you order it from? Can you post the website?

Did you order the Syntrax Nectar? If so that is the one that I have been using. I am still pre-op my surgery isn't for another week 9/15, but I tried a couple other proteins and the nectar protein is what works for me. I like how it only has protein. (23 grams of protein per 1 scoop) And you can mix it with either water or almond milk. Water gives it a thinner texture. The only thing i am worried about is that some people say the protein shakes that were working for them before surgery don't work for them now. So i hope my taste buds still agree with it afterwards. I also hear others like the premier agreed unjury as well

I ordered it from mybariatricpantry.com. and yes, it is the Syntrax Nectar

I am 3 days post op and love the Syntrax nectar before and after surgery. I don't like a thick shake either. My favorite flavors are Fuzzy Naval, Cherry, Lemon Tea and strawberry Kiwi. I heard the apple one is good but it didn't come in my sampler pack so I never tried it.

If you don't like thick consistency, here's what i do: I mix the Protein powder with 10 ounces of Water (not the 8 recommended) and blend in in the Nutrabullet. This dissolves all the protein really well but you end up with a lot of foam. So I put the shake right into the fridge and let it sit there an hour or so until the foam is gone. It works well for me.

For RTD, I like the Premier chocolate - over ice, it isn't that thick.

Finally, I use unjury unflavored powder mixed with 2 Crystal Light individual packs -- one pink lemonade and one yellow lemonade and 8-10 ounces of water. It has the texture of a Nectar drink and I like the sweet/tart flavor. I'm planning to do this with other Crystal Light flavors too.

Good Luck, you will do great!

Sytrax nectar are one of the thinnest around. They are popular with people who like a fruity drink rather than chocolate.

Sytrax also makes Matrix which is my favorite chocolate. I think they are great because when made with Water, they are only 120 calories and about 2 carbs.

I think the cheapest place to get it is vitacost.com Free shipping if you order $49 which I always do. My last order was 140.00 cause I get my vit D 3 sub lingual b12, Calcium citrate capsules, etc. They have practically anything you can think of.

Thank you so much!!!!

This is great info, thx!

I checked out Vitacost.com and it was cheaper! So awesome....thanks

Also found it on healthyplanetshopping.com and they have free shipping for orders over $9.99

You know you can get 10.00 off your order if you refer someone to vitacost. com. I am not worried about the 10 bucks, but if you have family members who order Vitamins, you can get 10 off your order and they can get 10 off theirs.

Syrax Matrix comes in a bunch of good flavors. Mint cookie is one of my favorites.

vitacost is almost always cheaper for anything. I order almost everything from them. I love their Waldens sugar free chocolate.
