"Gone are the days of low quality whey protein. Gone are the days of those blah-tasting protein drinks that promise much but deliver little. Nectar once-and-for-all breaks the mold by combining Promina, the highest quality whey protein isolate ever developed, with a flavoring system that is so fruitilicious that you will never drink another whey protein shake ever again. If you like the refreshing taste of fruit juice, you'll love Nectar! With its mouthwatering fruit juice flavors, Nectar is truly a protein drink you will look forward to drinking each and every day. Whether it be Chocolate Truffle, Roadside Lemonade, Caribbean Cooler, Strawberry Kiwi, Lemon Tea, Fuzzy Navel, Strawberry Mousse, Vanilla Bean Torte, Twisted Cherry, Apple Ecstasy, or Cappuccino Latte. Nectar will keep you coming back for more. What's more? Well, Syntrax did something totally amazing by engineering Nectar to be so delicious that you can eat it right out of the container. Imagine putting a protein powder in your mouth and it tasting like candy. Imagine this protein powder having zero carbs and zero fat."
Are you kidding me? Is that not the best sales pitch for protein powder you've ever heard in your life? I wanted to buy one so bad but my inner cheap skate kept telling me it was a rip off. So instead I bought something I didn't want for less. boo. (that's getting returned of course)
I've come to realize that you should price shop protein powder. Like I said in an earlier post, we paid $26 for the same 2lb container of body fortress powder at kroger that was $14.99 at wal mart.
When I got home I searched for Nectar online and not only found 2 lb jars for $26 but I found this fab little variety pack for $16!!!! Reviews on a few Bariatric websites were all excellent, so I ordered my variety pack.
The package arrived today and it was like christmas all over again. I can't wait to try them
Look at all these flavors!
Just as I was typing this, I searched for that packaging message, and found this sample pack for $3 less than what I paid. Go figure! Here's the cheaper link:
Ooh their packaging is pretty. Let us know how they taste! I'm getting sick of my current protein powder.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting indeed!! They look very yummy!! How much protein do these babies pack?? Or did I miss that? Sorry if I did but very curious?? On a diff note...I go in for my Lapband tomorrow!! Surgery is at 9:00 am...feeling all kinds of things right now but if you read this in time, I sure would appreciate it if you sent up a few winks!! On my behalf!! Thanks so much for sharing, so encouraging and exciting to see all of the creative tips you share...
ReplyDeleteoh my I just may have to order some of that it looks fantabulous!
ReplyDelete@bandedwithfavor...good luck on your banding tomorrow!
This morning I had Stawberry Mousse with Milk and ice and it was really good! @bandedwithfavor each packet has 23 grams of protein (plus the 8 from the skim milk gives me over 50% of what I need for the day) You know I'll being praying for you all day today!! As soon as I feel good enough check in and let us all know how you're doing!!
ReplyDeleteI am home...thank you for the prayers and well wishes...feeling not too bad...very emotional but happy to be home in my own bed!! Not too much pain right now of course I am on meds...the most pain is the gas that has settled in my left shoulder...but I am heating it with a hot pad and getting up to walk every 30 min to an hour!!! On we go!! Thank you again for your prayers!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear from you, I've been thinking about you! Every morning will get easier and easier :)
ReplyDelete@bandedwithfavor. I remember waking up after the surgery with horrible gas pain,I wanted to talk to the nurses, but my brain couldn't do that yet, and I kept thinking "oh my God what did I do to myself, what did I do to myself?" But those are the only feelings of regret I've had so far. <3
ReplyDeleteI just ordered some! My BF is trying to do 2 meal replacements with high protein shakes and a healthy dinner. I think he is worried I am going to get skinny and he will be a pudger still LOL. So he is starting his own thing which will help me when I get to my 2 week pre-op shakes. I will let you know what I think of them. Thanks for the comment on my page. I am so bummed your husband had to jump thru so many hoops because of the insurance co. That is so rediculous and wrong :( Glad things are moving along for you both tho!! I absolutely love your blog. I am keeping tabs on everything you post to help me with my own journey!!
ReplyDeleteYay, Lisa! I hope you love it. I had the Fuzzy Navel this morning for breakfast and I thought it was good. I probably wouldn't buy a 2 lb jar of it, but it was a nice change! I'm checking on your blog every day too! We can help keep eachother in check :)
ReplyDelete@mdLapband...I had read so much about the gas pain I was glad I had front loaded myself with the info...I had gas pain after my C-section so I knew it sucked and yes it still does!! Getting better though and I am walking a lot...no regrets just so much support and love it is overwhelming sometimes and when I saw my kids and mom last night after getting home I just cried and cried which did not help seen as crying requires stomach muscles!!! Ouch!!! But doing well today and expect each day to get better!! Your blog helps!!
ReplyDeleteYay,I just ordered mine. I'm excited to try them. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThey are fast I got mine on the 1ith,plus I got 2 free ones...so many to try.
