Nectar Whey Protein Trip Report and want reccomendations

[Hendricks433]

Just got Syntax Nectar Caribbean Cooler(with a free shaker) in the mail with some ON Vanilla Gold. The Caribbean Cooler is a Pina Colada type flavor, Id give it a 6.5/10. It recommends mixing with 8-16 oz of water. I tried 12oz in the blender with a couple ice cubes and didnt like it. It was great with 8 oz of water made in the shaker cup and then 3 ice cubes to cool it down a bit.

Does anyone thats used nectar before have any reccomendations for making it? Also what flavor should I get next? I wont get this flavor again because its not good enough for me to want to drink it every day.

I've had the peach and the lemonade both were very good. I just use chilled water and shake.

I didn't try that one yet but have been using Nectar for a few months now.

Ones I tried:

Peach 8/10
Lemonade 9/10
Ice tea 8/10
Apple 9/10
Cherry 1/10 (YUCK)

Don't you guys get a bunch of foam if she shake it? I just put 2 scopps in a big glass, then fill it with water and then use a spoon to stir it and then drink it. No ice or blender needed for this.

[/ QUOTE ] Thats what happened with the blender so I used the shaker and it wasnt all that bad. It mixes very well so Ill try my next shake with just a spoon. I also dont like that I cant add some peanut butter in for a meal replacement like I can with ON shakes.

This is not the purpose of the Nectar. It has 0 carbs, 0 fat so is best used before or after workouts and not as a meal replacement.

Shake gently, like toss the water inside. No foam, good mix.

your logic doesnt really hold up in regards to drinking it pre or post workout becuase even if you do, you still need something to go with it, but I agree, you need something with it, eat a handful of nuts or something w/ protien shakes like this.

quick question about the apple flavor... is it meant to taste like real red apples or does it taste more like the "green apple" flavor that many candies such as jolly rancher make. it is tart at all? is it super sweet? thanks.

[1C5]

By itself, no, but combined with a carb like dextrose or something, then it is perfect for pre or post workout.

FOR a MR, I would want something that is more slowly digested than the Nectar.

It is the green apple, more like jolly rancher.
