mmm like pina colada mix! also reviews of all the syntrax nectar flavors.
Caribbean Cooler is awesome. I love the taste. I put 4 ounces of frozen pineapple juice, and a little water and some ice in the blender along with my calcium powder and its like drinking a virgin pina colada. Makes getting my daily protein requirement in very nice.<br /><br />I ordered a sample pack directly from Syntrax and decided to review all the flavors here.<br /><br />Strawberry Mousse :<br />I really liked this a lot. Mixed with 1% milk in a blender. Would probably be good with almond milk also. Nice Strawberry aroma when opening the package. The flavor reminded me of a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar. Pleasant and no weird aftertaste. Much better than Premier Protein strawberry flavor which I find pretty nasty. I will be adding this to my pantry.<br />4.5 out of 5 stars.<br />I think this would be good with fresh frozen strawberries added in a blender.<br /><br /> Crystal sky: I loved the packaging. Blue with pictures of fruit all over it. Pineapples, watermelon,kiwi, grapes, strawberries. I had high hopes. Opened the package and the smell of Juicy Fruit gum hit my nostrils. (Do they even make Juicy Fruit Gum anymore?)<br />Gag. But I soldiered on. Mixed with chopped ice and cold water. I'm sure that helped. Looked like a blue slushy but no it did not taste like one. I managed to consume it like a good RNY patient trying to be comply with her protein requirements.<br />Unless you like Juicy Fruit gum I cannot recommend this flavor in any way shape or form. Ick. Hold your nose and swallow.<br />1 star out of 5<br /><br />Lattes Cappucino:<br />This one I had heard so many good things about and it did not disappoint. Smelled like coffee ice cream upon opening the envelope.<br />Mixed it with cold 1% milk. Very very good! This flavor is outstanding. Someone here previously stated that they drank this hot and yes I think that would be excellent. I also was thinking if you chopped up frozen milk cubes in the blender and then mixed a small bit of cold milk and the powder it would be a coffee frappe!<br />Definitely will order this!<br />4.75 stars out of 5!<br /><br />Roadside Lemonade: didn't smell that lemony when I opened the envelope. (I drink a lot of sugar free Wylers lemonade so I was looking for that sort of flavor maybe?)<br />Mixed with cold water.<br />Eh. Not good but not undrinkable either. You have to wonder why they didn't add more ascorbic acid to the recipe for a proper lemony tang.....<br />Not impressed enough to order.<br />3 stars out of 5<br /><br />Chocolate truffle:<br />Smelled like brownie mix when I opened the package. Mixed with cold 1% milk. Eh. Frankly not chocolately enough. Premier Protein chocolate is better. Not bad, just lackluster.<br />3.5 out of 5 stars.<br /><br />Vanilla Bean:<br />It was very good. When i opened it, reminded me of the smell of vanilla pudding. I mixed this with 1% milk. Nice flavor and has the possibilities of adding other flavors (almond extract) or using a blender with frozen fruit<br />This one would also be good with almond milk I think. I don't know about mixing straight with water.<br />Overall very palatable and I will probably buy a container since it has a lot of other flavor options for creative cooks like myself.<br />4.75 stars out of 5<br /><br />Cherry:<br />Smelled like a cherry lollypop upon opening the package. Mixed with chopped ice and water in my blender.<br />The actual flavor kind of reminded me of a Luden's cough drop when drinking it. I don't think I could drink this every day.<br />2.5 stars out of 5. I won't be adding this flavor to my pantry.<br /><br />Fuzzy Navel:<br />I have never actually had a Fuzzy Navel cocktail. I suspect this flavor does not come close, BUT I enjoyed it very much. Although I gather its supposed to be peach and orange flavor, I thought it reminded me much more of a mango.<br />I mixed it with cold water. I suspect it would be very good with frozen banana, strawberries, or mango.<br />I would definitely order this one.<br />4.5 stars out of 5<br /><br /> Cookies and Cream:<br /> mixed it with 1%milk<br />I found it very palatable. It was actually pretty good.<br />I think it would be good with almond milk too. Don't know about mixing it with water.<br />Definitely would order this flavor<br />4.5  out of 5 stars<br /><br />Green Apple- mixed it with plain cold water.<br />It seems to be going for a jolly rancher kind of flavor. But the whey protein is distracting. I don't think I could drink this often.<br />2.5 stars out of 5<br /><br />Wild Grape - mixed it with plain cold water. I was a little afraid of this one. Generally I do not like grape flavored products.<br />This one smells like Fanta Grape Soda which I actually do like. And its not bad. But its not really good either. I kept wishing for fizzy bubbles and that whey protein thing kept sneaking through. I don't think I'll be ordering this flavor.<br />3 stars out of 5
