Need new protein drink suggestions?.. Syntax tea?

Hi,

My Isopure RTD has gotten too expensive more than $5 bottle. Granted, I get 40 gms protein, no carbs, from it, but looking for less expensive ways to get protein.

Right now, I am finishing up some different flavors of Jay Robb protein powder, and purchased some vanilla EAS at grocery so I would have something on hand.

I have read on here some of you drink the Syntax tea. Is it decaf? Where is the best place to purchase. I would like some non-milk type drinks too. Although I may have to get the double stuffed drink (cannot remember its name) to try it out too. I usually drink decaf tea and /or lemonade (crystal light) for my liquids. So it would be great to have something like that to replace my grape Isopure.

Thanks for all the help and any ideas are appreciated?

There are a bunch of us that live by lemon tea.  I mix mine with a tube of crystal light, usually peach tea or something like that and at least 36 oz of water.  I mix fuzzy navel the same way.  I've never been a strawberry fan and haven't tried some of the other Nectar flavors but I do like having a non-milk something for mid day.  If you like lemonade, you might like the roadside lemonaid.  I didn't but I don't like lemonaid to start with.  I would suggest getting some samples, either from Vitalady or Nectar directly and seeing which ones you like.

I've been ordering from Lucky Vitamin because they have free shipping after $50 and I always order at least that and their prices are good.

I love the Lemon Tea Protein.  I have no idea if it is decaf or not.  Tea usually doesn't have enough caffeine to matter.

I use a large blender bottle.  I put in a bottle of water 16 or 20 ozs., a stick of crystal lite lemon tea and a scoop of the lemon tea protein.  Shake really good.  Let it sit for a while until some of the foam dies down.  Add crushed ice - it is wonderful.

Thanks ladies!

I think I will order some samples to see what I like best.

Thanks!

If you like *sweet* tea - the lemon tea is for you.  I'm from the north and it was a nasty surprise to me!  I like my tea naked....

You might want to try some of the other Nectar flavors.  I like the grapefruit and fuzzy navel (think it tastes real close to orange juice).

Do you drink coffee?  If so you might want to try adding scoops of chocolate (or other flavors) to your *cooled* coffee.  There's a science to that..

Good luck!

Thanks!

I have tried the protein coffee, it did mix well, but I prefer my coffee with milk and hot, so it wasn't my favorite. Maybe I'll try it again sometime though.

I love sweet tea with lemon. I am originally from Louisville and my Mother's side of family always had tea. It was a big treat for me as a kid!

i've always been a coffee with sweetner and milk person and adapted well to protein coffee, well, actually decaf.  I use either vanilla, chocolate or mint cookie protein, mixed with a little water into a slurry, then I use that instead of my milk in the coffee.  I drink my decaf right after it has brewed or come out of the mircowave and it is pretty hot.  I have never had it curdle this way.  I have it you nuke it in the coffee.

I love nectar's roadside lemonade and cherry. I add a sprinkle of cherry limeade to both. It is really good.

How did you like the Jay Robb??? Love the orange dream sickle / tropical flavor but only mixed it with milk.

Good luck.

I had that this morning for my smoothie. I put milk and yogurt and it tastes like an Orange Julius! I had almost 50 gm of protein!!!

I love, love, love the Syntrax Maxtrix Mint Cookie protein powder. It really does taste like a milk shake and not like a protein shake at all.

I have never loved a protein powder this much.
