Blackmarket Nectar Protein

I'm waiting on a mail order of protein but am running very low so hubby tried to pick me up a jug of Nectar Lemon Tea at the Vitamin Shoppe a few days ago. Actually he tried two locations. Both cupboards were bare for my protein but both stores expected shipments. He went to the one location again today and no - they hadn't gotten any in their shipment as they expected. The manager told him that they think this is one of the items being stolen out of their warehouse in Baltimore. So, I guess there is a blackmarket for Nectar Lemon Tea out there. Guess I should check eBay and see if anyone is the Balitmore area is selling a bunch of it and sic the police on 'em. Kathy p.s. Or is the reason the stores are out of it because Donna Mae buys it all up??

I bet Donna Mae has it! She's a bad girl! tehehe

Yea, especially since she was talking about how many shakes she has a day. Donna! I want my PROTEIN!

I'm hoping you can help me Kathy...I have some Nectar myself but hadn't yet tried it...I mixed some Roadside Lemonade with Crystal Light Tea (not bad...much better than other protein sources!) Anyway, the guy in the Vitamin Shoppe told me that I was best not to shake it but it doesn't seem to want to mix in right...I have little chunks on the top...I stirred and stirred and now it is sitting in the fridge hoping that the lumps will go away...any ideas? Thanks Christine

PP, SHAKE IT BABY, SHAKE IT! The guy at the Vitamin Shoppe must be clueless. You can shake it up. It mixes great. No need not to. It won't get "damaged". We use Rubbermaid drink containers. I put 12 oz of water (or other liquid in) with a scoop and a half of protein powder, screw on the lid and shake it like there is no tomorrow. Then I open and put several ice cubes in, screw on the lid and shake it a bit more. I leave the ice out initially so there is more room for the powder to mix with the liquid. This works great! So, shake it, baby, shake it! A shakin' fool... K

Thanks Kathy... Worked like a charm! Shake Shake Shake, Shake Shake Shake, Shake your Nectar! It really doesn't taste bad! Glad I finally got the courage to try it! Christine

Hey Christine! I mix all my diff. Nectars with room temperature water and stir. It mixes right up. Then I add ice cubes and stir again. When I tried mixing it with ice water it did what you said--small clumps on top, which do eventually dissolve. Try room temp. and see how it goes. Lois

You're right...must have been the cold...so Lois, which is your favorite? I am not a huge peach fan...I thought I got different flavors but apparently I got all roadside lemonade...was thinking about buying another but before investing, figured i'd ask...i already know kathy's fav! Thanks! Christine

okay for me, little cutie - here's my recipe (which I got from Nat). I use the lemon tea nectar, with peach tea crystal lite in a big big glass. I fill it all the way to almost the top of the glass and stir with a whisk really good, then I start adding crushed ice - not ice cubes (for me). And then I sip a little off the top to make some more room for more ice. Yum yum -- in fact, excuse me, I'm going to go make my first drink of the morning. And then that will fill me up - then I'll try to figure out what to 'eat' after a few hours, then probably just have another 'drink', then go do 'yoga', think what to eat, take a bite of something, go throw it up, have a protein drink and be happy!! yup, that will be my day!!! love to you honey! donna

You are so silly Donna! I want crushed ice, I want crushed ice...waaaahhhhhhh. Can ya skip the throw it up part please, thanks! No wonder Kathy blamed you for buyin up all the Nectar...hmmm.... love ya! christine
