A "shout out" to Syntrax Nectars Fuzzy Navel protein

[auntjanny 289]

I am about 10 days post op. I was concerned that I would not make it this far because the thought of drinking smelly yukky whey Protein made me gag. I tried a few ready to drinks (RTDs) and while pretty sweet, knew I could suffer through with them. After lots of posts discussing what works best or what preferences for Protein were, I order the large canister of the Fuzzy Navel flavor (2#), and a small can (1#) of the unflavored Protein powder off of Amazon...it cost just under $50 and was free shipping through vitacost.

I mix two scoops of the fuzzy navel with 4 cups of Water, and refrigerate overnite, pour over ice the next day and get 46 g of protein in, AND added Water.

I have used the unflavored which is 10g per smaller scoop, and added to creamed Soups and SF Jello. It will clump if too hot so, I added to Jello after I added the water/ice cube speed set and there is no change to flavor or consistency. Jello is just not clear. I was able to put two scoops, for 20 g of protein to a small box of sf jello.

With the Soup, I added it to the Soup and heated in microwave.... as I was only eating about 1/4 c at a time, it was okay at first, but with each successive heating, it became more clumpy. Still, the unflavored does not at smell or texture or flavor, and will be a bonus when I get to the point that I can have pureed and soft foods.

I am certain that this is repeat information, but, it was such a concern for me, and now, such a relief.

Oh, I purchased an ice tea/lemonade flavor today at the Vitamin shoppe, and the canister was $39.99 so just a bit more than Amazon. It was a new product for them there.

I supplement with Premier Protein ready to drink vanilla, and Muscle Milk chocolate. Crazy sweet, and will be looking at diluting with banana, milk and ice cubes plus other methods in the future.

I am so happy I started drinking Syntrax! After surgery the ready made, thick sweet drinks made me sick.

I just ordered and received a bunch of the Syntrax Nectars sample packets from bariatric pantry. Tried caribbean cooler today, and OMG! Delicious!! Really quick delivery. Premier Protein was my favorite until I tasted the chocolate Unjury. Delicious chocolate flavor, and the unflavored blends well without a strong smell or taste.
