Hello, I purchased the1 oz packets of nectar, I am truly confused the packet states 4 servings do I mix it in my 16 oz Water bottles, sometimes I use the 20 oz bottles of water? Do I pour the whole packet into my water bottle? It is truly unclear to me! TIA

Hi SlimChickadee,

I was just reading about these the other day, and I was looking into trying them. From what I understand for every 2-4 oz of Water you mix in a quarter of the pouch. Maybe start with 2 oz per quarter packet and see if it is too sweet/strong and add more if needed.

So, some people may use 1 entire pouch with 8 oz of water, and others might get 16 oz out of it depending how sweet/ strong you like it.

To get the 23 grams of Protein, you would need to drink the entire pouch.

Let me know if you ended up liking it! What flavor did you try?

I was thinking of trying tge lemonade, iced tea and crystal sky. I also bought the GENEPRO, but have only tried it in sugarfree Jello, so far. I dis order the bariatric pal Fruit Drinks. I wonder if they are similar to the nectar drinks. I only tried pineapple orange from the multi pack. It was pretty good, a nice change from the Protein Shakes.

I've never understood why Syntrax breaks it up like that because for most of us, the whole packet (or scoop if you get the tub of it), is 100 calories/20-ish grams of Protein, which is a typical serving. Maybe they mean that for people who are super early out and can only drink a couple of ounces at a time? I honestly have no idea.

it doesn't matter how much Water you add - 8 oz or 16 oz or whatever. I often added more water during the early weeks because otherwise the taste was too intense for me. It didn't change the amount of protein grams I was getting - just the amount of fluids - so it counted toward me daily required Fluid intake.

I use nectar. My dr. And dietitian recommends 12 once fat free fairlife milk and 2 scoops. That would be to packs of the sample. It equals to 66g protien. I don't care for most of the flavors so I also use biohealth pasture feed isolate. And diesel. I also mix it up one scoop of banana cream and one scoop of chocolate peanutbutter. And then add my bene Fiber and 2 spoons of powdered peanut butter20210719_172722.jpg 20210719_172707.jpg 20210719_172713.jpg

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
