Question:
NECTAR?
Has anyone tried the new NECTAR that is advertised here on AMOS? I'm 2 years post op and never could stand any protein drinks. I'm craving carbs and eating way to many! This sounds like a good drink, however all of the makers say their's taste good. So far I've found them all to be false! I don't have alot of money to throw away on these things yet I'd love to finally find a protein drink that I don't have to put a cloth pin on my nose to drink. Has anyone tried it? Thanks. http://www.wlssuccess.com/nectar.htm — Danmark (posted on May 13, 2003)

Hi, I recently ordered some of this Nectar and should be receiving it
today. I will let you know what I think. I, too, don't have the money to
keep buying different protein drinks only to throw them out after using 1
serving. I don't like the protein drinks that are like a shake. I'm
hoping this Nectar will be different. It says you can even eat the Nectar
plain like candy.....we'll see.

I have been the same way, I cant stand the protein drinks that are like
shakes. They would make me sooo sick. I tried the nector at the beginning
of May. I got the caribean cooler and mix it with water. So far it has
been the only drink I have been able to tolerate at all. I have also
ordered the apple flavor and should be receiving it soon.

I ordered the berry and tropical kind. I hated the taste of the tropical.
They still have an aftertaste and a fibrous texture. Other people just
rave and rave, though, so maybe I'm hypersensitive? I would say they're
better than most, still not great...

I like the Nectar, in fact, I just drank my second Apple Ecstasy of the
day. To me, it tastes like Apple Pucker or a tart apple juice. I also
enjoy the Very Berry Cherry (which I have at night or sometimes for
breakfast.) I'm almost done with my first tub that I ordered only a month
ago. I have a hard time with shakes, but this is soooooo yummy to me it
tastes like a treat. It mixes up smoothly (I make it at work with my shaker
cup and cold water from the cooler then add ice afterwards) but even the
lumps taste good. You can order samples from vitalady.com so you don't
make a 2# committment...but if you don't like it after you buy it, ship it
to me..I'll drink it! --Jen, RNY 11/12 and now up to three shakes a day.

I tried the carribean cooler and it was extremely VILE. It made me gag. I
sold the cherry stuff on ebay because I couldn't stand to open it due to
the smell. I have found something I like: www.i-shophere.biz has Proti
drinks, I like the wild berry passion so far the best. It has 70 cals and
15g of protein and tastes like kool-aid. I actually like drinking it! But
obviously, everyone's tastes differ widely. Good luck!

Well i too tried the Nectar and I am sorry to say I thought they were all
three very nasty! But I wouldn't take just our opinions for it, order some
of the samples and try it for yourself. Maybe you will be one the ones
that just love it. Not me though, I couldn't stand to drink more than one
swallow! Good luck!

I am VERY picky about protein drinks and this is the first one I could get
down without gagging. I've only tried the Verry Berry Cherry, but have
ordered samples of the other two flavors from vitalady

I have tried all three. I love the Apple Ecstasy. It is the only protein
drink that I can drink on a regular basis. I didn't care for the Carribean
Cooler, because I thought it was too sweet. The berry one was good, but I
really liked the Apple one the best, so I ordered it and drink it twice a
day. Vitalady will sell samples, so you don't have to pay a lot in case
you don't like it.

The best protein drink I've found so far. I'm drinking Cherry Berry now and
it's great...Cold water is all you need and if it too strong add more
water. I like it and plan on trying the apple soon.

I'm just finishing my jar of the Very Berry Cherry and although its not the
greatest, its by far better than the other thick protein shakes I've tried.
Its thin and if its too strong just add more cold water. I just ordered a
2# jar of the Apple Ecstacy, I'm hoping it will be at least as good as the
Cherry if not better.

Interesting the different tastes out there. I, too, ordered one of each
sample to try. I've only tried the caribbean cooler and definitely did not
like it. YUK. I'll try the apple and cherry one before final decision. I
think what surprised me was I expected it to be a clear drink-the powder
would dissolve and it would look like koolaid-no, its a thick milky looking
drink.

Hi, I bought the samples first so I could try them out. I'm not a big
chocolate person and most of the protein drinks I've tried were. These
aren't that bad. The Very Berry Cherry is my favorite, not the best, but my
favorite of the three. The colder the better.
