“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. ”

“I've tried nearly every flavour of this protein, but have not yet found one I've liked. It's very gritty, and settles quickly, requiring stirring/shaking, nearly every sip. Some suggest putting it in cottage cheese, and that might be a better use for this. As it goes, I've had better, and recommend better. ):”

“I can not tolerate the meal replacement shakes like optifast. I feel that the Nectar products are much more tolerable, less gritty and very filling. I like the fact that I can mix them with lite juices and change up the flavor even more. My success would have been shot down if I didn't have these choices.”

“Taste is really, really artificial and kind of sickly-sweet. And unlike some other products that can be mixed with water, milk, or soy milk, this one really can't be used with any kind of milk. I found it drinkable but kind of nasty with water. I found it totally undrinkable with anything else. ”

“The nectar protein prowders are pretty good. The fruit ones are great since you can mix them with water and drink over ice... even better, add one of the single serving crystal light packets and it improves the taste. For a protein drink, it is not that bad and with the crystal light you can make all kinds of combinations. ”

“This product is excellent mixed with WATER. In fact, on the back of the can it states that you can eat it straight from the container. Well I tried licking my spoon and tried it. It was GOOD! You cant say that about many products. Also there are a variety of flavors and mixed with plain yogurt you have a delectible treat.”
