Default Syntax Nectar

I have been having problems tolerating the milk shake type protein drinks and was finally able to get some Fuzzy Naval Sytax Nectar from the internet. I tried it this morning for breakfast and it wasn't too bad. The only thing, it reminds me of Tang (do they still sell that stuff?). Has anyone tried mixing it with orange or other citrus juice? Also, do you have problems getting rid of the "foamy" part of the drink after mixing?

Caribbean Cooler is like a pina colada. I use the Magic Bullet and just a little lukewarm water with a scoop and a half of Syntrax to quick blend the powder completely and keep the foam to a minimum. Then add to a large cup with 16oz of cold bottled water and some ice.

i never put into a blender of any kind as it really foams up. i just add water and stir with a spoon..then scrape off the extra foam on the top and drink it down. the crystal sky is my fav...its the blue one. using cherry and strawberry kiwi right now though.

I did make a slushie out of it in the summer...but didn't really care for it, so I only drink it plain.

I love tang - try mixing and stirring with spoon - wont foam with less agitation.

I tried the fuzzy naval this morning mixed with a little orange/nectarine juice and found it much more enjoyable. Luckily, I don't dump with fruit juices and this stayed down very well. I don't have a Magic Bullet (not even sure they are available in Germany) but the powder mixes up quite easily without one.
