Nectar question

I just ordered some sample packets of the Nectar--the strawberry kiwi, roadside lemonade, and fuzzy navel.  This may sound like a dumb question, but I'm assuming you all mix these w/ either water or Crystal Light, right?  If Crystal Light, do you use the same approx. flavors as the Nectar (i.e., Orange Sunrise for the fuzzy navel)?  What proportions of CL and Nectar do you use? Sorry to be so dense, but I don't want to ruin it when it comes since I just ordered a couple samples of each of them Thanks!

Hi Jo!  I just sprinkle a little in to taste. I would reccomend making each package according to directions. I shake it real good with a few ice cubes. Then taste it so you can alter it to your taste with the CL. I love the Orange CL and the Fuzzy Navel. It's what I drink all the time! Good luck! Molly

Thanks, Molly.  I'm really curious to see if I like the Nectar.  Some love it; some hate it, so I'll just have to try it!

I have always put flavored water (Fruit2O) in my NECTAR....tastes great.  Check out the Carribean Cooler one...tastes like Pina Colada if you like a coconut taste.  I love Strawberry Kiwi and the lemonade one too.  Sample ordering is the best.....My husband bought one protein shake mix that I really don't like but we could not sample....now I am stuck with a container....I have to find a way to disguise it.  Have a good one!

Thanks for your comments, Debbie.  I didn't order any Caribbean Cooler samples cause I had no idea what flavor it was, but I do love the pina colada taste, so if I like the samples that I ordered, I may order some of those when I order next time! 

I have been trying to find a place to get sample sizes of the nectars.  Can you let me know where you ordered them from?  Thanks, Eileen

I googled Synthrax Nectar and found a lot of links; however, the only one I found that you could order samples from was through vitalady.com, and I think they were $2/sample packet.  I think there's a minimum order required of $10.

Thank you so much, I will order some immediately. Eileen

I have been drinking Nectar for more than a year now.  My favorite is the strawberry kiwi, followed by the twisted cherry.  The way I make it is 1.5 - 2 scoops into my (very old) Tupperware shaker cup.  Add two-three ice cubes (helps with the mixing & chilling).  Fill to the top with plain water.  Shake it up.

Since the Tupperware shaker holds about 12 oz, for the sample pack you would not want to fill to the top!   I have one of these shakes every morning before I go to my workout.

Thanks for the info.  I am trying to get back to some semblance of nutritional snacking and drinking, as I've fallen into the "bad carbs" trap, as well as Diet Coke on a regular basis.  (I don't think an occasional diet soda is bad, but I got away from drinking C.L. and water and want to get back to that.)  I still eat nutritional meals, but all the other crap has crept back in, and the scale shows it.  I generally get in enough protein through my meals, but I think if I add protein drinks, I just might be more apt to avoid some of the junk.   Good idea to drink it before working out.  I usually eat just a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese w/ a little fruit before going to the gym, but the protein drink would be really easy too. 

Thanks again.
