Default Protein Drinks Nectar

Hi Guys and Gals,

This weekend while in Seattle for a trade show I had the opportunity to try some of the Nectar protein drinks and flavors. I'd never tried them before but always heard they were more like a juice or crystal light rather than the normal creamy protein drinks. As always I was skeptical but after trying them mixed with plain water I really liked them.

I had the chance to try two different flavors Crystal Sky and Lemonade Ice. Both were tasty. I have a couple of extra samples (about 5) of the Crystal sky and would be happy to mail them out to anyone who would like them. You can PM if you want to try them.

Just so you know, I don't in anyway shape or form sell these products! I just got them from the vendor and really liked them so I thought some of you might want to try them.

I did a search on google and found lots of places that sell the products. Just search under Nectar protein.

Hope this might help someone who's having trouble finding a good protein drink.

Kristen

I sent you a Pm with my info. Thanks so much! I haven't been doing anything in the way of protein supplement for a couple of weeks now. I really need to find something I can stand to drink before I go completely bald!

Got your PM and you should have mail in a couple of days!

I'll keep trying to find different stuff out there as I go to the different shows for work. Most of the time they give the stuff away by the handfuls, nice thing is that the samples are usually half servings which is better for our smaller tummies!

Hey Kristen -

Are they anything like Isopure... I tried that and it just didn't sit well, like it was "wheat" tasting to me and thickish - if that makes sense?

Thanks.

They are good I got the iced tea and lemonaid for after surgery. Also if you mix the fuzzy navel with CL iced tea it is just like peach tea! They are not thick at all just like any other flavored drink!

I drink the Nectar Cherry Berry flavor and it's really good! Mix it with water and a little bit of orange juice... really yummy! I think I'll try another flavor next time it's time for me to buy some.

I would recommend Nectar as well!!

Hi Megan,

just like the ladies above mentioned they aren't thick at all. I've only had the crystal sky and lemonade ice flavors though.

I was actually surprised how thin they actually are.
