Nectar Lemon Tea, reviews please?

The one thing I have been craving since surgery is iced tea, and I mean honest to goodness craving for it. So I would love to curb my cravings AND get my protein in at the same time.

So anyone use it, like it? Hate it?

I ordered a bunch of different samples of Nectar teas/drinks from vitalady. They generally had very good reviews, and people loved them. They don't mix as easily as other proteins (you have to stir/shake alot, because they're lumpy, and tend to get foamy).

For me PERSONALLY the taste isn't bad.... but the smell...  They smell  like a mixture of dirty feet and ass. But that's just me. I even tried holding my nose and sipping... but I swear I could still smell it. Part of it may be my super-human sense of smell (which got more intense after surgery).

If you're super sensitive to smells, they may not work for you. Definitely try some samples, first.

I ordered a pretty large sampler too and EWWW- they are all SO gross. I don't know if it's the overpowering garbage can smell, or the actual taste- its bad. I took about a sip of each one and poured it down the sink feeling grossed out afterwards. I wi**** was good. I have had a hard time getting protein in and was really hoping that would be the solution after hearing how well it worked for some.

It took me forever to find a protein powder I like.  The nectars are it, for me!

I like the lemon tea ok.  I think you could do the Nectar lemon tea and add some crystal light tea to it and it would be pretty yummy.  I agree about ordering samples first, just to be sure.

Also, the nectars mix best with just a spoon.  Don't shake them or blend them - foamy, icky, yuck.

I JUST got the sample pack Friday... Tried the Latte one yesterday, thought it was pretty good... tried the lemon tea today and could only do 3 sips before I dumped it out.  Persoanlly, for my ice tea fix I go fir crystal light or even fresh brewed with lemon... something like that.  I was excited at the chance of finding one with protien in it, but for me nectar wasn't it!  

I'm still excited to try some of the other ones though :-)

I consider myself lucky that I don't mind protien shakes... so I really can't complain, but I'm always looking to shake it up!

And thanks for the tip about only stiring... I used my blender ball and it wasn't the best result :-(

I tried it. The smell is bad, so I put it in a tumble traveler cup so I couldn't smell it and that worked for the smell but I didn't like the taste either. I just can't stand protein powder drinks of any kind. I didn't mind them before surgery but now I'm having a really hard time with them. I'll keep trying though I'm determined to find something I like.

Got the Nectar sampler and I found all the fruit flavors as well as the tea flavor nasty! The Chocolate Truffle was very good however so the experiment was not a total loss. Definitely was not my cup of tea!

I'll send you mine from my sample packs.  Don't like regular iced tea, much less protein iced tea.  I *love* the chocolate truffle flavor, and some of the others are good, but Nectars aren't my favorite protein overall.  Send me a PM if you're interested.

 I just send you a PM! Thank you SO much.

 Thanks so much for the reviews! Sounds like you either love it or hate it, no real middle ground LOL I am one of those strange people *****ally does not mind protein shakes at all, in fact I kind of enjoy them, so maybe I will be one of the people who loves it!
