Matrix Lemon Tea Protein

Roz, I see you use this quite often.  I never tried it but it looks good - I love iced tea!  I was going to buy it at the Vitamin Shop this weekend but the sales guy talked me out of it.  He said most people do not like it!  What do you think?  It seems like a lot of members on this forum like it??

Not Roz but I drink it daily.  I like it warm in the winter and cold in the summer.  Since I am years out now and still need to keep my protein up but can slow down a little, I use a half scoop and a tube of crystal light, fav right now is green tea mango peach, and 20 oz of water.  I think Jody doesn't like it because she doesn't like sweet tea but other than that, I don't remember anyone not liking it.  It mixes well with a spoon, it foams a lot if you use it in a shaker bottle.  Do they have sample sizes?  That would be a way to try it without buying a bunch.  I need to order today.  Lucky Vitamin seems to have the best prices and free shipping if you are buying several things.

I found that if you like sweet tea -  you may like it.  I don't like sweet tea and didn't.  It's all a personal taste thing.  

Apparently the salesman doesn't know what he's talking about!!!  

Presently I am using the Matrix Mint Cookie because when my IC is riled up the Syntrax Lemon Tea bothers my bladder.  BUT...I LOVE it!!!  It's mild enough I can drink it by itself but great with added flavorings like MIO, crystal lite, etc.

If you call 866-333-7403 you can get 15 full  servings of Syntrax Protein in different flavors.  I love the Cherry too but with the Lemon Tea I can add anything I want for variety.

You're a Pens girl.  Are you from Pittsburgh?

I like it too.  It's the only protein powder I can drink mixed in water.  I do add a packet of Crystal Lite peach mango with it.  I first tried it in a sample pack. 

Ok, I'll weigh in here too.  I LOVE it and have 2 a day.  You might want to get a couple of samples of it and try it before you buy an entire tub of it.

Here is how I do mine.  I put a crystal lite Lemon Tea in a 20 oz bottle of water, mix this up, pour part of it into a blender bottle, put a scoop of the protein in there and mix it up good.  I no longer shake mine because it makes too much foam, I just stir it with a whisk I have or a fork or straw.  Then I put crushed ice in the blender bottle and then pour the rest of the bottle water/tea into it.  Shake it a little to mix it all together.

Sometimes, I get a Route 44 Unsweet Tea from Sonic and mix my Lemon Tea PRotein powder up with some of the tea and pour back into my drink and I add 2 Sweet and Low's to it but you probably wouldn't have to add any sweetner if you didn't want to.

Thanks guys - I think I will try it.  I do love iced tea, so I think I will like it.  My Vitamin Shoppe doesn't have any samples of this flavor, so I'll have to buy the whole container.  Roz, I'm not in Pittsburgh, but I am a Penguins fan!  I live in Wilkes Barre, home of the Pittsburgh AHL team, so I get to see a lot of the players here before they move on to the NHL.

I got it and figured out how to make it work!  The 1st time I tried it in the ninja - yuck - all foam!  Today I tried it with the Crystal Light Packet - mixed that up & then added the Matrix + ice.  Yum - this works for me as a late afternoon pick me up!  Thanks for all of the suggestions.  I'm 2 1/2 years out from RNY and about 15 pounds up.  I need to nip this in the bud now.  I'm hoping that adding this will help!
