Ok here is my review of the Syntrax Nectar sample pack I bought. You get a random mix of 12. I wanted to try the Caribbean Cooler, but it wasn't in mine. I love coconut.
I mixed all with 8 oz of water, unless otherwise stated. I found that all of these taste better if you mix them up, and let them sit about 5 min. I don't know why but they taste better if you do.
Since surgery my taste buds have changed. Things never used to be sweet enough, now almost all sweets are too sweet and make me gag. Tart things now bother me more. I seem to be sensitive to things that make me pucker. So your mileage will vary.
Crystal Sky- Blue color, dissolved very well and easily. Taste like a tart fruit punch. Tastes much better with some stevia mixed in. On its own it is too tart for me. Does have an after taste and protein powder smell to me though. It does remind me of sweet tarts candy if you like those. I don't. 2/5 stars.
Apple Ecstasy- Bright Green, smells very appley, does not mix well though. I had to put it into my shaker cup, and there was still clumps. The taste is really good though. It tastes exactly like green apple candy. It is tart. I did mix in a little stevia, and liked it a lot better. No after taste, and no protein smell. 4/5 stars
Strawberry Kiwi- Bright pink, smells yummy, no protein smell. Had to put in my blender cup to mix well. Taste just like strawberry candy. This is really yummy. Kind of taste like strawberry milk. Sweet, and no stevia needed. 5/5
Fuzzy Navel- Bright Yellow, mixed with a spoon very easily. No protein smell. Taste like peach and orange mixed together. I was expecting a stronger peach flavor, still good though. The more I sip, the more I taste orange flavor and no peach. 5/5
Twisted Cherry- Bright red, mixed easily with spoon. No protein smell. This surprised me. I was expecting tart cherry, but it was sweet. Taste like a cherry and cream candy. It does have a slight after taste, so let it set a few minutes to let the flavor mix better. It wasn't too bad.3/5
Lemon Tea- Brown tea color, mixed with spoon but had to let it set so some of the clumps would melt. Slight protein smell. I had no expectations of this flavor. I didn't think I would like it, but I do. It does taste like lemon tea, with a splash of "milk" taste. If you don't mind the milk after taste, this would be great in the summer. I may actually buy some for the summer, as I love Iced Tea. 4/5
Strawberry Mouse- Light pink color, mixed easy with a spoon. No protein smell, but very strong artificial strawberry smell. Taste like watered down strawberry milk. Wasn't crazy about this one. 1/5
Cookies and Cream- Has pieces of cookie in it, doesn't mix up all the way. If you are a fan of pieces in your drink, you might like it, but I do not. The taste with 8 oz water is very watered down and I do not like it. At all. Ick. So far all have been at least tolerable, this one was bad and I had to choke it down and try not to gag. I found this one rather disgusting. 0/5
Cappuccino- I did this one differently. I did not mix it with water, as I thought that would be gross. I mixed the protein powder into a mix of vanilla creamer, almond milk and a splash of heavy cream. Then I mixed that into coffee, and added a squirt of sugar free chocolate syrup. This is divine. I love it. Taste like a chocolatey expensive mocha. I am going to order a big one of these. Maybe two. LOL. 5/5
Chocolate Truffle- Mixed with 8 oz almond milk. This taste exactly like rich chocolate milk. It is delicious. No protein smell. Mixed with a spoon without any issues. Another I want to order a big one of. 5/5
Vanilla Bean Torte- Mixed with 8 oz almond milk, and added a couple tablespoons of heavy cream. This tastes like a vanilla milkshake. The richness of the cream makes this taste extremely decadent. This was delicious too. No protein smell. Mixed it up with a spoon. It did have floaties, but I didn't mind them. It has a very rich vanilla taste, like it had been soaking in a vanilla bean pod all day. 5/5
Pink Grapefruit- I hate grapefruit. I haven't tried this one, and do not want too.
