On Brandy's suggestion, I bought the chocolate truffle lastnight. Omg. I love it!!! I tossed a scoop in the blender with ice and maybe 8oz of fat free milk. It was delicious! My 8 year old tried it and begged for a glass of her own. Lol. Tasted like a chocolate milkshake. With the milk, I got about 31g protein for only about 180 cals.

Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Btw... For those of you who have flexible spending accts.... My insurance reimburses me for my protein powder. I had my doc write a statement detailing the vitamins I'm required to have and he included protein powder supplements. It's a whole lot easier to spend $35 on a jug of Nectar knowing I get that money back!

I LOVE Nectar brand! My absolute fav so far is the Chocolate Truffle. It is thick and chocolatey. I mix mine with water.
I also like Caribean cooler. I like it better when I mix it in with the chocolate truffle though. It tastes like a Mounds Bar...MMMMMM!
I just ordered the Mocha Latte flavor today through Vitaminshoppe.com I am excited to taste it. It sounds sooo good!
I'm a weirdo though, I LOVE protein shakes..good ones that is..LOL!
Ps...you wanna try something good...
mix your Chocolate Truffle protein with water,ice and a Tbs of cream cheese in a blender till smooth.
mmmmm...you talk about good! It tastes like a creamy milk shake.
Without the cream cheese it is icey but the cream cheese makes it creamy.
Plus it is very low carb
Hi, all I love the nectar's also but I always buy them on line just google cheap syntrax nectar protein and go from there, I've tried them all but I also like Champion Nutrition stack whey protein it mixes with a spoon they have a orange one that tastes like a orange dreamsicle it's called tropical sunrise and then I take orange pouch like crystal lite or any other one and mix with it. There choc is good, they also have one called choc mocachino it's so good these are great just mixed with water also.

Thanks Skinnyme, I just called and ordered the sample pack too. I really like the isopure no carb but that is getting pretty expensive. About 4.50 a day.
I must be the expection, I have tried the carribean cooler and crystal sky, don't like either one. To me they have an after taste and a smell. Guess I'm just too fussy. This weekend I'm going to try the choc mixed with milk. Glad they were just samples and not a 6# jug.
I got my samples in and I love most all of them.
I'm so happy/relieved that I now have a protein supplement I can handle.
Just have to decide which flavor to buy first.
Thanks so much for the recommendation.
