Opinions on nectar protein powder!
I have been through the ringer with finding a protein drink that I can tolerate. I've been drinking isopure clear RTD and they have just become disgusting to me. I have tried the carribean cooler powder by nectar and it was really sweet when I was just a week or so out. I'm thinking about trying some other flavors that I can mix in water. What experiences did you have with this kind and if you have tried any other fruity "clear" protein drinks what kind was it?
The syntrax blue sky is more tart and less sweet. Its kind of a fruit punchy blue raspberry. The carribean cooler was to sweet for me even pre-op. I also liked the fuzzy navel. I liked the cherry the first time I had it but then after I bought a big tub I didn't like it as well. My vitamin shop sells individual packs. You can also get sample packs from the vitalady website.

I second the idea of buying lots of sample packs b/c tastes change over time. I like the strawberry kiwi flavor of Syntrax Nectar for fruity but LOVE the creamier kinds (chocolate truffle, vanilla torte, orange cream)

I like the lemon tea mixed with some mio or crystal lite, not heavy like the typical protein shake. 1 scoop in 20 oz with crushed ice
TIP stir with a fork then add the ice and you wont get the foam on top

I love my nectar... I have Crystal Sky (kind of like a fruit punch), Fuzzy Navel (peach-ish), Pink Grapefruit, Strawberry-Kiwi and Cappuccino. I also really liked the the Chocolate Truffle. I have the Double Stuffed (which is cookies and cream) but It's only really ok with Milk, and I'm not tolerating milk now-a-days. I mix all the rest with water and a little ice and they're gorgeous. :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Roadside Lemonade! I mix it with unsweetened tea and make an Arnold Palmer and LOVE IT! I have one four or five days a week on average. But I love lemonade to begin with! :)
