| Long gone are the days "somewhat like chocolate" flavored clumpy protein drinks. This stuff mixes easily in a shaker bottle and it tastes a lot like an Orange Julius or V-8 splash. I'll admit there is just a twinge of aspartame aftertaste, but I'm picky about artificial sweeteners. I've gone through at least 4 containers of the fruit punch. I can't believe how good it is. |

| I don't really like any protein mixes and this one is still not all that great but I found that if I mix it with sugar free juice and water it's not so bad. :) |

| After years of drinking chocolate protein shakes, I've gotten sick of chocolate, especially if I'm drinking it in the morning. Syntrax Nectar gives some variety, with fruit flavors. It mixes well, and I can try a different flavor if I get sick of one. |

| Ironically, the artificially flavored varieties taste MUCH better than the naturals. I tried the naturals peach and it was absolutely HORRIBLE as far as aftertaste (and the taste of the sweetener used was not good. Even after mixing with low-carb fruit juice, I could not mask the taste. In contrast, I really like the taste of the non-natural varieties. They mix very nicely with water. |

| I enjoy the cappuccino almost daily. I find it gives me a great recharge after hockey practice or any other (hard) workout. When I had my WLS 6 yrs ago I had a hard time finding a protein I likes. My nutritionist with my surgeons office actually introduced patients to Nectar products. This is one of the few flavors (of ANY protein) that I like -- guess I am too picky. I do find the taste improves if it is chilled after it is mixed. My nutritionist mixed 2 qrts at one time, so it can be mixed up like a juice mix. Just be sure to add the mix first as it does take up volume in the container. I mix 2 scoops with @16oz water. (I also like the flavor of the Lemon Tea) |

| This stuff is absolutely delicious, I would give it a 5 but it is just too expensive to be a good value. |

| Very tasty. A nice change after 25 years of drinking vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavored proteins. The one down side is too much foam. It would be great if they could cut that down somehow. |

| Good tasting product except for one thing. Each time I tried to mix it (shaker cup, blender, etc.)the end result was excess foam. |

| The orange flavor is excellent but I don't understand why it is more expensive than the other flavors. I didn't like any of the others flavors I tried, they are terrible! |

| Ordered the Chocolate Truffle- it is good, just not enough chocolate flavor for my tastes. I do like that it has some fiber, although not much, so it lowers the net carb count. |

| Have tried Caribbean Cooler, Fuzzy Navel, and Twisted Cherry so far. The Caribbean Cooler is my favorite, and I have re-ordered it several times. Fuzzy Navel was good. Twisted Cherry tasted like cherry cough medicine and was loaded with red dye. Overall, though, the Nectar protein powder is worth the money. It tastes good and does dissolve well. And no/low carbs is a great thing! I'll keep buying it. |

| I am an extremely picky person when it comes to taste, and have tried over 15 different protein/diet drink mixes and have never been able to finish them because of the level of "grossness", but Nectar is a totally different story. It's great alone, but for breakfast and lunch I mix them with a low fat/low cal vanilla ice-cream and it's really great. I would've given it 5 stars, but it does leave a small aftertaste, but not enough to make me throw it out like all the rest! Too bad there's no 4 1/2 star rating. |
