Syntrax® Vendor

When I get bored with the 'milkshake' type flavors, this is my favorite to turn to!

I've been a fan of this product for many years. It is refreshing to be able to drink protein that doesn't taste like a shake. The lemonade is my favorite flavor.

This is one of my favorite protein shake. It has a great taste and mixes really well.

I recently bought a sample pack of all of the flavors and just started trying them, I like that they are completely different than the typical milkshake flavors. The lemon tea was great, I diluted mine a bit and poured it over ice. Loved it that way!

Before I had WLS I researched protein powders (my Dr. gives you a list of options) and Syntrax Nectar seemed to be the best reviewed online. I ordered Fuzzy Navel, Caramel Macchiato, and Double-Stuffed Cookie. They taste as good as the name implies. The advantage of the Fuzzy Navel flavor is that it can be blended with milk for a Creamsicle flavor or water/ice.
(BTW I have no association/affiliation with Syntrax or Nectar)

Prepared with 1 cup of Fairlife 2% Ultra-filtered milk, crushed ice, and 1 scoop of protein powder will yield you 36g of protein (220 calories). I have Peanut Butter Cookie flavor on order & can't wait to try it. I also use Atkins and Premier Protein ready to drink shakes but making my own is my preferred method of protein delivery - plus I have yet to see a shake with 36g of protein. I'm going to try to have at least one of my prepared shakes every day. They take longer to drink than the ready made shakes which is another positive.

When your no longer in the mood for chocolate or vanilla and want something fruity the sector products are great. My favorite is the Fuzzy Navel. I did try the Caribbean Cooler and unless your a total coconut freak steer clear of that one. The Strawberry Kewi is alight but not something I'd buy again. Their website normally has sample boxes you can order for less and try all the flavors which I recommend before committing to a full tub. Also the unflavored is perfect for adding to things like chicken broth. The broth remains clean to slightly cloudy but isn't foamy or chunky at all.

the fruit protein mixes taste awful to me.

I use the lemon tea daily and love it! I have also used the pink grapefruit, apple, grape, strawberry kiwi, orange, cappuccino , fuzzy navel and chcolate. I also will add some crystal light or mio for flavoring at time. The cappuccino and chcolate are great in my coffee, but the lemon tea is my favorite.

Vanilla Torte is very much like a vanilla bean, down to the little black specs. If you like vanilla, this is a great selection. It tastes great mixed with water, soy milk, or skim milk in a shaker with shaker ball. It's my favorite of the four choices of Nectar I've purchased.

I would have probably rated this as Excellent if the shake was not blue. Blue and Red dyes in drinks like these tend to promote gas. The taste is also a bit tart. It can be mixed easily with a Crystal Light in another fruity flavor to tone it down a bit.
