Question:
Comment: To all those who hate protein shakes as much as me,

you have to try NECTAR. The APPLE ECSTASY flavor tastes like an apple jolly rancher. It's not as thick as the CARB SOLUTIONS that I was drinking and it mixes without a blender too! This stuff is great! Had to tell everyone.    — Rhonda B. (posted on August 21, 2003)

Ughhh! I can't stand the Nectar drinks! I gag on them and they taste way too sweet.

I love the Caribbean Cooler, but while the Apple tasted OK to me (not great, but OK) - it didn't settle well on my stomach. <p> I just ordered a 7-pack sample from http://www.gourmetprotein.com (only costs $4.95 for shipping) for my wife (who is also a post-op) and I to try out. They have an interesting deal there - you buy 2 flavors, you get a 3rd jug free. Also their shipping is a flat $4.95...JR

I have no problem with protein shakes,if you make them right they can be delicious.Take V8 Diet Splash, 10 calories per 8 oz,3 grams carbs,sweetened with Splenda,freeze in an ice cube tray.I take 8 of the cubes put them in my ice shaver,you can also use a blender.After the ice is shaved I add enough of the liquid Splash to make a 16 oz glass.I add 2 scoups of no flavor protein powder,I mix it together with the mini mixer I got at Target.The mixer runs on batteries and is a powerful little thing. This gives me 28 grams of protein and tastes delicious.

Isopure is coming out with a truly tasteless (not lousy tasting or wearing plaid with stripes, but rather without any flavor) protein powder. I mixed a sample in some crystal lite and could not detect it at all.

Unjury also now has an unflavored powder that you can't taste at all if you mix it with slightly concentrated Crystal Lite. It can also be used in SF pudding. But I intend on trying the Nectar for variety.

Rhonda, I'm with you. The apple nectar is wonderful!!! and I think it tastes just like apple juice. I put a scoop of it in a large glass of water, stir with a spoon and add crushed ice. It is great that way and by mixing with a spoon is the same consistency as juice.

My fave is Cherry Berry, followed by the new Strawberry-Kiwi. They saved me, because right after surgery, I couldnta stood the chocolate!
