“Befor my surgery the taste was wonderful. The chocolate truffle tastes like mocha and it's better when really cold. Their clear protein shakes are really fruity and you can barely tell they're protein shakes. I was really worried when I had to search for a clear shake but after trying the samples I felt better about my decision. I posted this before my surgery. Since then I've discovered I cannot tolerate the clear nectars. Tastes will change after surgery on a daily basis. Keep this in mind when choosing your protein.”

“There are 11 flavors of Nectar protein--get the sample pack by calling this number 866-333-7403 x 801--Costs only $10 and you can try all the flavors. I like the Chocolate Truffle--mixed with milk and it's 31 grams of protein for an 8oz serving. I also like the Crystal Sky--I mix it with the Crystal Light Lemonade and it's very good--no aftertaste and great source of protein--give it a shot you can't go wrong”

“It's a little pricier than other protien drinks, but it tastes FANTASTIC compared to them as well. They mostly have fruit flavors and it tastes like juice. They now also have latte flavors like cappucino. I haven't tried it yet but I ordered it today. Nectar has fantastic nutritional value... 23 protien, no carbs, no fat, no sugar.”

“For those of you who can't tolerate the "milk-shake" style protein this is awesome. I mix it with more water than it says (1 scoop to 32 ounces of fluid) and it tastes like crystal light. I get my protein and my fluids this way. I also mix it with a complimentary crystal lite flavor for more flavor at times (1 scoop to 16 ounces of water, then add 16 ounces of crystal lite).”

“I have tried the chocolate truffle and the cherry flavors. They are both awesome, but my favorite is most certainly the chocolate. I've even mixed the 2 and made a chocolate covered cherry flavor. They are great with water or milk and dissolve very easily. I don't have that after taste either that you get with some shakes. I highly recommend this brand.”

“You can find samples at enjoyhealth.com for 1.89 each + shipping. On the samples it recommends mixing with 5 oz. water or to taste. Since purchasing more I have still been mixing it 1 scoop to 5 oz for 23 grams of protein isolate. The canister suggests using 8 oz but so far the taste hasn't been overwhelming and it's nice to get 23 grams in just 5 oz. This mixes easily in water and can be mixed ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for later use, just shake it up again. I haven't liked the results when I tried that with other protein drinks. Favorites so far are chocolate truffle, fuzzy navel, roadside lemonaide, (my daughter says it tastes like Skittles candy), and strawberry kiwi. I don't care for coffee drinks but thought the cappaccino flavor tasted a lot like the caramel frappacinno drinks from Starbucks. ”

Tastes like green apple laffy taffy candy. This protien can also be eaten straight from the container. Can't wait to try the other flavors.

“I am thrilled with the Cappucino version of Nectar. It is the first protein powder I have every truly enjoyed. I find I lose more weight when I add the protein drinks to my diet of lean meats and veggies, even though I am 5 months post-op. It doesn't seem to have the terrible aftertaste that many other powders do, and the decaf coffee flavor really satisfies my coffee cravings. It's delightful cold or warm (just do not use boiling water). Hat's off to the people who make Nectar!”

It had a very noticable protein taste and smell. I'm very glad that I read here to combine them with Crystal Light. That made such a huge difference!

“I purchased three cannisters so I got a sale price. It was still quite expensive especially when I found out that my brother carries the product in his gym store. I bought Roadside Lemonade, Fuzzy Navel and Caribbean Cooler. I loved them at first but got burnt out on them quickly. I can hardly stand the smell now. I suppose I will be able to drink them again sometime but right now, there is no way!”

“For a whey isolate product, it's price is mediocre. Isolate is the most bioavailable protein made, so it costs more than concentrate. This is evident in the price of Nectar. At least I didn't go to GNC to buy it. It would have cost twice as much.”

“I wanted to post to give a HUGE THUMBS UP to Fuzzy Navel Nectar! I have had a lot of trouble with protein post-op and this is the ONLY one that works for me. Other Nectar flavors are OK (apple, cherry, strawberry) but taste fake. Carribean Cooler is OK, but I don't like the coconut pineapple flavor. Fuzzy Navel has no aspertame (sp?) and actually tastes almost like a natural juice and has little or no aftertaste. It also does not have that nasty whey taste to it at all! I really like this one. I want to try the new lemonade one too. With Fuzzy Navel I think that Syntrax did a great job. I'm so happy I found it! Try some samples of this one if you like citrusy fruit drinks. At least for me it has been a good one!”

“This is the best tasting protein powder (and I tried several). I like the berry flavored one. It is good for all people who don't react well to the powders you need to add milk to. I can actually drink it without making a face. I also found that if you add a little sugar free jell-o mix it tastes even better.”

“I bought the Nectar Fuzzy Navel because I had seen it mentioned on this website. I really like the flavor, and it's not at all chalky tasting, like so many of the protein supplements are. I'm going to order the sample package to see if the Strawberry Kiwi & Berry Berry are good -- I'm so happy I found this!”
