Nectar

Has anybody used Nectar for their protein? And did you like it? Which flavor. I like the idea of having a fruit flavored drink to sip on through the morning. I'm still pre-op and am trying to line up my ducks. Thanks. Janie

Janie, don't get a lot of stuff pre-op for your post op needs. Your taste buds change sooooo much that what you love now, will taste lke doggie doo after surgery. Maybe try some samples when you are early post op (whenever DR says you can) and then decide what you want. Elizabeth

Hi, Jane. I have used the Apple Ectasy Nectar for my protein. I liked it the first couple of times but after surgery when I was used to a no sugar diet, it became way to sweet for me. I still use it but not like I thought I would. I would rather have something chocolate flavored than fruit. Your taste buds do change after surgery and the things you used to crave sometimes become your worst enemy now. I used to crave sweets and now the smell of sweets makes me sick.

Janie, The only protein I can tolerate is the Nectar. The Apple Ecstacy is to sweet for me, the Carribean Cooler tastes somewhat like coconut and bananas, again, not to my liking. The Very Cherry Berry, Strawberry Kiwi and the newest one Fuzzy Navel are WONDERFUL!! Like the others have said, don't get anything before your surgery. I tried some samples of Nectar before surgery and didn't care for it, but after surgery it is all I really like or can tolerate. There is another protein that is on the fruity side. It is Weider Whey Protein Isolate. It comes in 2 flavors, Tropical Punch and Grape. I don't care for the grape, but the tropical punch is excellent. Both proteins mix well in water. The Nectar has 23 g protein per scoop, with no sugar, carbs or fat. Which is a plus for us after surgery. I can't remember the stats for the Weider right now. Geez, sounds like I should work for the company! lol Sorry for the long post. I just really like the Nectar and Weider proteins. I get mine from vitalday or muscledawg. Janelle
