Question:
Are nectar protein drinks worth my money?
I am about to order the Nectar Protein Drink. I need some honest opinions about this product before I spend $26. Thanks! — dixieb (posted on June 20, 2003)

The "Necter" protein drinks are now my favorite protein drinks.
I've tried all three flavors and like all three. The taste is really good,
they mix wwell with water and the + for me is - 0 - carbs and -0- sugar.

Go to vitalady.com and order yourself the samples first ($2 each). From
what I've read, most people seem to like them...but we all have different
tastes. You might also want to check out some of the other samples while
you are there too. I know it night seem a bit expensive to order the
samples, but it's well worth it in the end. At least you won't be stuck
with $26 of something you hate...and if your lucky, you might actually find
the one or two things that you really like. Good luck!

I ordered the samples and am glad I did. I tried all 3 and unfortunately
did not like any of them. I thought the consistency when mixed with water
would be a clear, koolaid type of drink, but it was a milky consistency,
even with water.

I absolutely love the Apple Ecstasy! I have used the Very Berry Cherry in
a pinch when Apple Ecstasy was out of stock, but I don't like it as well.
I do not like the Carribean Cooler - too sweet.

Have tried the Very Cherry Berry and it is wonderful. The Carribean Cooler
is ok. My order for the Apple has been on backorder for a few months so I
am sure it is good also. They can't seem to keep any in stock for any
length of time. Everyone's taste is different, but this was a life saver
for me.

I've had all three. Carribean Cooler is out of this world. I absolutely
hated Green Apple. Berry Cherry tasted like Kool-aid, it was ok. I bought
the big can of Carribean Cooler and lucked out that I liked it. I got
samples of the others. Get the samples first from wlssucces.com or
vitalady.com.

I did not care for them at all. Like previous posters, go to
www.wlssuccess.com and order their sample kit.

I really like the cherry and the apple was okay too, but protein drinks are
a very personal choice. I lucked out without buying samples but if you are
worried you might want to get samples.

I really like all three flavors and you can get them in sample sizes (no
commitment!) from Vitalady at http://www.vitalady.com -- along with many
dozens of other proteins in sample sizes -- the biggest selection there is,
and all appropriate for WLS post-ops! <p>I personally really like all
three Nectars. They are different than many of the other protein shakes,
thinner and with more vibrant flavors. They shake well and do not require a
blender. In my opinion, they are best shaken with ice cold water and some
actual ice; I drink most of my Sci-Fit flavors at room temperature, so
liking these icy is a little weird to me. <p>The ultimate taste test?
My 3.5 year old! She likes all the flavors but seems to like the Apple the
best. :-) Seriously, the Nectars have gotten many of my
no-protein-shakes-they-are-too-gross post-op friends hooked on protein.
<p>Only you can decide if you like them, but I highly recommend
getting samples so you are not shelling out big bucks if it turns out you
don't like one of them.

I really like them, and I think I'm pretty darn picky. I don't like 99% of
the chocolate or vanilla type protein drinks. The only way to know is to
try them yourself.

I ordered the samples from vitalady.com and they were great, so now I am
waiting for my order to arrive, my favorite one is the strawberry kiwi,
these protein drinks are so much easier for me to drink than the pro
complex. I am a slow looser so I hope that getting in 2 shakes a day helps
me to increase my weight loss, My surgery was May 16.03 ...I started at
248 and this morning I was 198.....
