Default Syntrax Nectar

Hi - I purchased two of the Syntrax Nectar products (Fuzzy Navel & Roadside Lemonade). The mixing instructions on both cannisters say use one level scoop per 8-16 oz. of water. I assumed there would be a scoop included. Much to my dismay, there is not.

What is a "scoop"? I have no idea what the ratio would be. Is it a couple tablespoons - 1/4 cup - what?!

Has anybody else tried this product? Could you please tell me what a "scoop" measurement is?

Thanks!

Alt 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.

Never mind - I ended up calling them and they said there is a scoop and it had probably settled. It had! Once I got to digging for it I found it. Thanks anyway!

But . . . if anybody has tried these 2 flavors, have you mixed it with anything to give it any extra zing or added flavor?

I am a big Nectar fan! In fact my Choc truffle is coming today!! I mix my Fuzzy navel with yogurt (dannon - lemon, vanilla, rasberry, etc) and milk to get some extra protein and thickin it up a bit. Twisted Cherry is awesome too .. I blend it with the brand Click (coffee flavor) and or Choc Truffle. It is devine! I even do Fuzzy Navel with Twisted Cherry. I was not crazy about the Road Side Lemonade but I like my Lemonade sour not really sweet. Nectar also has a really good Capacino (sp). You really can't go wrong with Nectar! I wish I had found it long ago.

I mix the fuzzy navel in orange crystal light (walmart brand) and the caribean cooler in strawberry/orange/banana crystal light and they are awesome! I still drink one them everyday.
I really wanna try the cookies and cream now but me and milk aren't the best of friends
