i got the samples but no scoop and the sample says its 1.5 scoops....

The scoop size is about 1.5 oz. The sample packs are half a scoop size. I add two scoops to 24 oz of water. So you would have to out 4 packs in to get 48 grams per day. Most stores will let you return it if you don't like it as long as there is more than 50% left.

Holly, Where do you buy the Nectar? I have been using the Jay Rob egg white protein. It is sugar free and tasteless and has 24grams of potein per scoop. Frozen fruit works great in making shakes. 11/25/05 Even though I think it is almost tasteless the flavoring is vanilla. It is a very slight flavoring.

I get it at Vitamin Shop. You can also get it online. Google it and you will see what it is. I love it!

Can you mix yours with water only? Is it really tasleless???

Hi everyone,
The Egg White Protein is Vanilla Flavored, but to me there is almost no taste. I have not tried the chocolate. I made a small drink this morning with just water and it did not have much of a taste, maybe just a teeny vanilla flavor. I had no problems drinking the drink and it is not that chalky thick drink stuff I took before. I will typically mix the egg white protein with flavored waters and fresh or frozen fruit(I use 2 scoops to make 48 grams). Compared to some of the other protein powders I think this one is great or at least it is great for me. It's 100 calories, 0 fat, and 0 SUGAR, 0 Aspartame, no artificial sweetners and 24 g protein per scoop! I could not take the sweetness from the other powders. As long as you are not allergic to eggs I think this is a good protein source. Just my opinion and I know on this site we all have different tastes and opinions. The cost is $35.00 for 2 lbs at Henry's.

I like the RTD shakes. Met-RX makes one in a bunch of flavors that has 35 grams of protein. When I was early post op I would have 2 day to be sure I got in enough protein. I would put them in the freezer for 1/2 hr before drinking made them like s lushy and they stayed cold while it took me 1/2 hr to drink the 1/2 a can.

Good luck

Holly,
Where do you get the nectar? It sounds like a good thing for me to try.
