My nutrition packet from my doctor states that Syntrax nectar is considered a clear liquid, and that I should order some for post-op. Where is a good place to order the variety pack? I'm trying to find a good price.

ALSO... Has anyone tried the Isopure clear drinks that come already bottled?

You can find nectar on Amazon. And keep in mind, you can add Mio/Crystal Light drops to these to alter the flavors. We added Tropical Coconut drops to the Fuzzy Navel Nectar and it was yummy.

@@HuneComz I found them on Amazon, but the variety pack is overpriced!

Oh that's a good idea to add something!

there's a variety pack in the shop on here

@@heidikat72 It's more expensive than the amazon one! LOL. I'm being picky because I'm cheap.

It's going to be expensive when you buy a variety pack of individual serving pouches. The Amazon price is probably the cheapest you will find.

I relied on the Isopure RTDs after surgery as the regular Protein drinks were just too thick and sweet for me.

A lot of people don't like them, and truth be told, they smell awful. But I found them better than the shakes until I could get my protein from food/homemade shakes. I also hated Protein powder.

I preferred the Syntrax over the Isopure hands down. I got the variety pack here at BP's store, I'm pretty sure. I don't remember if I found the variety pack on Amazon or not. I got several things here and several at Amazon, wherever was the best price and availability. I did the variety packs for several brands, and it was the best way to go about it, even though it was a large cash outlay.

@@theantichick Yeah I'll probably do more sample packs here later! Have you tried Millie's Sipping Broth?

I have been getting Protein from various sources. Premier (which I agree is sickening-sweet) packs a punch of protein so I have been trying to have one every other day. I have seen Walgreens carries flavor enhancers for Protein shakes but I haven't bought any.

I prefer Fairlife milk as my #1 choice for Liquid Protein - it's 13 grams of protein per one serving (8 oz) and if you like milk - it's delicious. I mix 3/4 cup skim to 1/4 cup chocolate. It is also lactose free.

I also found Atkins Lift bottled 'water' at Big Lots (not sure this store exists everywhere) for $2 for a 4-pack - one bottle is 20 grams of protein. I don't love these, but it's something different from the milks and shakes.

I have sampled all the Isopure flavors and the only one I can stomach is the orange. Key is to drink it really cold or make popscicles out of it.

@@HuneComz We definitely have Big Lots here in TX. What does the atkins water taste like?

I ordered the variety pack from here and I hate it. I add it to Water and it's thick and gritty. I definitely prefer Isopure. The grape and green apple are pretty good.

@@hayleyf3706 The Atkins Lift kind of reminds me of Vitamin Water. I don't particularly care for that taste, but I can drink it ice cold.
