Lemon Tea!
It sure makes it easier to get your protein AND fluid in when you like what you are drinking. And I really cheat when I always put lemon tea on my menu. Sometimes it is caribean cooler protein instead of lemon tea but I love both of them. Of course part of it may be that your taste are going back to normal and things will start tasting better anyway?

I have been mixing the Cherry Syntrax Nectar with Fruit Punch Crystal Light and Grape Nectar with Grape Crystal Light. I was thinking of trying the Lemon Tea... I must have missed the previous conversation about it... What do you mix it with? I'm not a big fan of Lemonade... but I was thinking of mixing it with decaf tea??
I mix it with peach tea or lemon tea if I am drinking it warm. Oh yeah, also with Mango Peach.

I do my syntrax lemon tea warm. I use a 20oz blender bottle (do not shake hot liquid) with warm water and a tube of peach tea generic crystal light. Mix about 1/2 cup of warm water with 1 to 1/2 scoop of lemon tea protein then add to the warm water. If you get it too hot, you will curdle the protein which is pretty nasty but I can get it warm enough to be good for me. Don't nuke the protein. If you leave it sitting, it will settle but a quick shake will mix it again. So good in the cold weather, plus early out, I didn't do cold very well.
I know I tried unflavored Syntrax with herbal tea but I don't remember what happened. Sorry. It was 4 yrs ago.

I'm making mine w/ tap water & then adding in 1/2 pkg CL peach mango tea. I make it the night before w /32 oz water, 1 scoop Syntrax Lemon tea & the 1/2 pkg Crystal light and then refridge it to take to work next day. Then it sits on my desk all day and I sip on it, so it runs the full gamut of temps. Still tastes good.
Thanks, guys--so helpful! I think having a plan for variety is going to be key to getting me through the first few months. I can drink the same thing over and over and love it...and then one day? It just makes me want to gag, and I never want it again. So I definitely need a solid strategy for mixing things up. This sounds like something I'd really like--can't wait to try it!
One of my favorites is a root beer float protein shake. Just diet root beer and vanilla powder. Make the pop flat first by shaking a little at a time.
I also like the lemon tea👍
