Nectar mixed ideas???

I seem to be one of few people who can't stand the taste of nectar protien.  I've only tried a couple of flavors so far because they are just down right nasty to me... but then again... so are a lot of proteins.  My question is.... when you drink your nectar, do you mix it with something to give it a better taste???  I have the 13 sample pack (minus the 2 I've tried, fuzzey naval and something else).  I have all kinds of crystal light flavors that I thought might work. Any ideas??? Please??? I'm having such a hard time getting my protein in and right now I know it's pretty crucial that I focus on it but I just want something that I "like" and can handle.   Thanks!!!

We are about the same timeframe but I am enjoying it.  Yesterday I used the magic bullet and must not have used it correctly because I got a lot of foam.  But I just ordered SF Raseberry Torani syrup and will add it to the Caribean Cooler today.  Try adding extracts as well (cocunut, vanilla, or whatever you have).  I have a huge container of the Caribeen Cooler which is my favorite.  I also suggest drinking it from a cup with a lid.  If you just smell it before you drink it, it may not go down right.  I purchased other samples but when I got them I realized they weren't 100% Whey Isolate but mixes of different Whey so Nectar has been my favorite so far.  Have you thought of unflavored Unjury as an option as well?

 I can't stand the Nectar protein either... different proteins for different people I guess. :)

I add Crystal Light fruit punch to the Carribean Sky and Twisted Cherry.  The Chocolate Truffle is good in FF SF chocolate pudding.  The Roadside Lemonade is good in Unsweet Tea to make lemon tea and is also good in FF SF Lemon Pudding.  I hated the strawberry.  DH loved the fuzzy navel and blended it with ice and fresh peaches.  I don't care for peaches so it wasn't for me.  The carribean cooler was the one I hated the most out of all of them.  I didnt get a chance to try the Apple one becuase my DH had tried it and thrown it out before I could.  The Vanilla Bean Torte I put in some sugar free vanilla ice cream with a bit of milk and made a shake.  I didn't try the strawberry kiwi, I gave it to a friend.  She likes with the Diet Snapple Strawberry Kiwi drink packs similiar to Crystal Light.  I also didn't try the latte because I HATE coffee, but the same friend blended it with mil**** Torani syrups and made a frappucino.

Hope that helps!

I like the cappuccino, love it.  Sometimes I mix it with the Walmart Body Fortresss Vanilla. I usually add some SF Kahlua or almond syrup to it and a little splenda. I drink that every morning.  I hate drinking the fuzzy navel, but I do mix a teaspoon or tablespoon of it to plain, instant oatmeal and I love that.  I can't stand the caribbean cooler, can't even get it past my nose without gagging.  The cherry is ok, pink grapefruit is ok.  I don't like crystal light, so I don't mix that with any of them.  I may try the SF pudding idea but I like my shakes to be very thin, not thick so I'm not sure that will work for me.  I haven't tried adding ice or fruit to them for the same reason, but in the summer I am guessing I will try that. 

Cappuccino is great - I use it in my coffee every morning, making a wonderful protein coffee with sugar free hazelnut .

I also have used the fruity flavors in cottage cheese and greek yogurt.

Others are right - protein flavors are very individual and creativity comes into play, too.

I can't stand them either. I tried 3 of the 13 and gave the rest away. I think they have a HORRIBLE protein taste and I've found lots of other brands that are WONDERFUL. No need to suffer!

well i am still in the pre op mode, but i have been making my fresh squeezed lemonade, i make a gallon at a time, 2.5 cups of squeezed lemons, 1 cup of steva or splend or half of each, to a gallon of water, so far i have made the twisted cherry, and roadside lemonade poured it into a 24 oz glass full of ice and then add some of my lemonade to it...drink from a straw and boy its great....cherry lemonade...i only had the samples so i ordered a jug of each, i plan to put this mixture into my ninja and make a slushie....

now i am a bit worried when i am post op as i may not be able to have the fresh lemon juice...but for now, i drink it right down and dont even know it is protein drink...
hope this helps

Nectar SMELLS NASTY.... no getting around it.

I mix it in a 24 oz sports bottle with water and crystal light. Drink out of the sports lid so I can't smell it. One scoop only.



Or you can try the Matrix Orange and Cream with orange crystal light (same combo though, water included) and the sports bottle. I find it cheaper, milder of flavor, and easier to get down.

The big HUGE deal is to not be able to SMELL the protein..... that's why I love the water bottle I pictured above.

 I agree with some of the others... I think Nectar is NASTY.  I've worked my way through an entire sample pack (almost) and mixed all kinds of stuff in it.  It's a no-go for me.  I tried it immediately after surgery and hated it, but decided to try it again later since so many people swear by it.

I refuse to suffer for my protein!  Yuck!
