“I was dying to get my Nectar Fuzzy Navel protein after reading all the reviews, and because I was sick of drinking chocolate and vanilla. So, what do I think? IT'S OKAY. I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be...at least according to all the rants and raves. I like it because it's something different. However, I can still taste the protein. I don't think there is a product out there where you can't taste the protein. It's not a strong taste, but there is definitely a hint of it. The actual flavor reminds me of a toned down "Tang" or "Sunny-D" (by toned down I mean not as sweet or zippy). I use my immersion hand blender right in the glass to mix it all. So, it mixes quite smooth. I will say there isn't the bad protein aftertaste that some of the other protein drinks have. That get's two thumbs up from me. Overall, it's okay. I like it for variety, but it's not my favorite. ” Taste : Average     Price : Average Nutritional Value : Excellent     Overall Value : Good Suitability for Postops : N/A     Cost : $33 for 2lb

“I love this drink and many of the other Nectar flavors. I have some in the Grab and Go packs and this flavor in the large container. These are FANTASTIC when you need some more protein during the day without extra carbs and fat, and the it tastes like Crystal Light Peach tea. Here is what I do: I mix mine with 20 oz of water; however, this is all depending on how sweet you like it. I tend to mix all drink mixes (Crystal Light, too) with more water than it calls for on the package. Then, I put mine in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. It is the perfect snack when I need something. I love the Grab and Go packs and always have a couple in my purse for emergencies.” Taste : Excellent     Price : Good Nutritional Value : Excellent     Overall Value : Good Suitability for Postops : Excellent     Cost : 31.95

“I bought a single serving sample to try and am very glad that's all I bought. Instructions said to mix with 4 oz of water, but it was way too thick and too sweet. I had to use 16 oz of water and still couldn't choke it all down. Way too much powder in a serving made for a very thick drink.” Taste : Average     Price : Good Nutritional Value : Excellent     Overall Value : Average Suitability for Postops : Poor     Cost : 1.99

“I was unable to choke down water for 6 hours after gagging on a soy protein isolate vanilla shake. This went on for almost a week. I finally decided to get this product after reading several reviews. Nectar mixed w/iced tea saved me. It gets lumpy when you first try to mix it in to a drink w/ice in it and you have to kind of work out the lumps, but it's pretty good stuff. Can't wait to try the other flavors. I haven't tried it in just plain water, but the taste intensifies when mixed with diet/crystal light stuff. ” Taste : Good     Price : Good Nutritional Value : Good     Overall Value : Good Suitability for Postops : Good     Cost : $32

“This has a combination of Nectarine, Peach and Orange to it.
