Hi All! Hoping for some feedback here. I need to try some different protein powders. I've been using designer whey but they are just too sweet for me now. I was considering trying Syntrax Nectar cause I've heard good things about it but I'm worried about it being too sweet too. Even crystal light is too sweet for me right now. What do you guys like?

    The Nectar is my favorite hands down.

    Compared to crystal light, how sweet is it?

    I use the Bariatric Advantage brand...love the chocolate and the banana one. I am also addicted to Click mocha protein powder!

    I LOVE the Bariatric Advantage orange cream, chocolate and banana. I was really surprised how good the banana was--reminded me of banana laffy taffy. The orange cream tastes like a dreamsicle. My sons even like the shakes--don't worry--they are adults.

    I do love Syntrax Nectar. It is a little sweet, but blends wonderfully and fully. I use it in coffee, my Greek yogurt, and for shakes now, but plan on adding it to more as my plan allows.

    I have been using a local health store brand, chocolate, for a long time, and like it very much. But I wanted more variety, and tried the Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade, and like it very much. I have some Fruit Punch on the way, but haven't tried it yet. The other plus for the Nectar is I can mix it with water, while the chocolate I mixed with fat free milk.

    I love the Nectar flavors. In my opinion they arent that sweet, but then again I put more than 8oz of water per scoop, for me its more like 10oz or so. Sometime I find that I need to "kick it up a notch" and I add some crystal light or light juices to add more flavor and sweetness and I then add even more water/ liquids. The best part is that you can always add more water to lighten the flavor if you need to, which is always good because I can then get in more water to help meet the 64oz min. :)

    PS I think its less sweet then crystal light. since my surgery I dont really like it or most artificial sweeteners anymore. But like I said I will add some crystal light with my Nectar for the extra flavor and then water it all down.
