Question:
Has anyone tried a protein drink called Nectar?

I've seen it advertised on the WLS site and wondered how it tasted. They offer different fruit flavors that sound appealing.Please let me know.    — lucyh37 (posted on September 19, 2003)

Yes, I have tried them. Bought them from Vitaladay. The Apple Ecstacy is my favorite, but all are good. They are a fruity Kool-Aid type drink. They mix well and have no after taste. They are one of the best protein drinks I have tried. Get a few samples from Vitalady. They're only $1.99 each.

Lucy, I have tried every flavor of Nectar. The Caribbean Cooler is okay but better mixed with a little orange juice. Some people like it with crystal lite. The cherry is very cherry if you like that flavor. The green apple tastes like a jolly rancher. The Strawberry Kiwi is my absolute favorite. It tastes great in my opinion even when mixed with only water. When mixed with a little orange juice ...it is like a tequila sunrise minus the tequila. I have also used the Strawberry Nectar to make smoothies that have turned out great. I take a couple of small water bottles and put a scoop of nectar protein powder in each one in the morning but I don't add water til I am at work and ready to shake it up. The protein nectar mixes really easily and you won't need a blender. I have found a wonderful person, Vickie, for my nectar. She is post op and has a company with all kinds of products. I would suggest you contact her at www.texaswlssupply.com I have been impressed with the service and quality of all her products she offers. Good luck to you. Ann in TX 414/317/?

I highly recommend getting some samples first, as the container is big and a little pricey. I've tried both the Apple Ecstasy and Very Cherry Berry flavors. The Apple does taste like a Jolly Rancher. I like the Very Cherry Berry best. I found that the package directions make it a bit too strong. The way I like it best is to mix one scoop of Very Berry Cherry into 24 ounces of any red-colored (strawberry, raspberry, cherry, fruit punch, etc.) s/f Crystal Light or Kool Aid. Some people are put off by the look of the Nectar--though it's fruit flavored it's not a clear drink. The Apple Ecstasy is also a very bright green, which some people find off-putting. So, get some samples first and see what you think. I found them to be a dramatic improvement over the milk-shake style protein drinks.
