Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I got tired of my GNC Protein and decided to go with a Protein Powder that's highly recommended by my surgeon's office and his previous patients--Syntrax nectar. I picked "Fuzzy Navel" flavor. It was only $30 off Amazon for 2 lbs! I wanted the sample pack, but it was the same price as the 2lb tub so...value wise it didn't make sense. This one also had the highest ratings regarding flavor so I hope I don't regret this :P

Anyone else use Syntrax Nectar?

I purchased the cherry and the tropical island I think it was called... I was surprised at how thick it was... which was the reason I got it...ppl said it was juice like... it's still got that thick whey texture that I don't like... the reg Protein texture was making me want to vomit tmi sorry... the flavor was good but I didn't buy anymore of it. Hope u like it!!

I actually just tried the Fuzzy Navel flavor for the first time yesterday; it was perfectly acceptable! And that's actually fairly high praise for a Protein Drink. ;)

It's rather Tang-like, but with a little peach. I find I like these better mixed with a little more Water -- I do about 10 oz. (or 8 oz. and a couple of ice cubes) for a single scoop, rather than the 8 oz of Fluid I usually use for other Protein Drinks. But the texture is closer to juice than it is to a typical shake (I didn't find it to be particularly thick at all), and the flavors I've tried so far, while not exact facsimiles of the fruits they mimic, are still a nice break from the chocolate/vanilla/caramel routine. It's also nice to get a dose of Protein and some water at the same time. (I've tried mixing other Protein Shakes with water, but even the good ones, like ON Double chocolate, turned out absolutely vile. This one works great with water.)

It's nice to hear when someone enjoyed a product my body refused(hate that textures affect me so differentlynow)... I even tried diluting it with more water like u did... still didn't work for me... when I bought it I was hoping it would be close to the clear Protein drinks... the supplement store that I purchased it from didn't have samples of that brand... happy sipping :)

I liked the Fuzzy Naval too and I'm extremely picky about Protein drinks. The Iced Lemon Tea flavor is good too.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
