Nectar Protein Drink ?

Hello everyone,

Start my pre op diet tomorrow surgery is set for March 25th :),

Just a question on what is considered the size of a protein drink? Nectar says 1 full scoop gives you 28 grams of protein but you are only supposed to mix a 1/4 of a scoop with 4 ounces of water and that is a serving (which means only 7 grams of protein) so should I be drinking 16 ounces as one serving or only 4 to 8? So confused.  My pre op diet is 3 protein drinks for the day and clear liquids so not sure how much Nectar I'm  to consider one serving?

 

Thanks

I just looked up the label for Nectar & it says serving size is 1/4 scoop & that will give you 6 grams of protein. you will def need a drink that is higher in protein then that

When I did protein drinks I did a full scoop of protein in a 20 oz bottle of water. If my protein for the day was low I'd do two full scoops.

I liked the Roadside Lemonade flavor, because I could add other flavorings too. Like, add a cherry Crystal-Lite packet and you have cherry lemonade. Or lime. Or peach. Or whatever.

I don't drink protein drinks any more, but I still use the Syntrax Vanilla to mix with Greek yogurt (3/4 scoop for 3/4 cup of yogurt) and add fruit or Crystal-Lite for flavor.

I like the nectars, I mix one full scoop in 8 ounces unsweetened almond milk. If I use the carribbean cooler, I use Trop 50 orange juice 3-4 ounces and 4 ounces unsweetened almond milk with a little coconut extract and 2 strawberries. Makes me a nice dacquiri! Might have a little more calories than you would like. I need the extra calories to support my workouts.

I love then nectar protein shakes.  I just mix them with water and a fully scoop, about 8 oz. of water.  My favorite is the cappucino flavor and I think I've been living on that for quite awhile now!

Well had my first Nectar Chocolate Truffle was good compared to a lot of others I've had mixed 1 full scoop with Simply Smart fat free milk that was breakfast.

 

Going to try the fuzzy navel for lunch the powder smelt really good going to mix that with water.  Getting excited and nervous for my surgery date it's going to be a long 2 weeks!

I use a full scoop every morning and mix the chocolate with about 10oz skim milk and the strawberry with about 12oz of water.
