Nectar - Roadside Lemonade: 4 out of 5 stars.
It tastes pretty good and no bad after taste. I don't give it 5 stars because it doesn't really taste like lemonade...it's kind of flat in taste. The mildness/sweetness reminds me more of lemon meringue, which I'm not a big fan of. I was hoping for something that tasted closer to Crystal Light lemonade...something with a little kick.
It mixes okay. You can't mix with a spoon unless you want lumps. So you either need to use a shaker or a hand blender, which then prodcues a frothiness I don't care for.
It's not my favorite, but gives me some variety from the chocolate/vanilla.
I was dying to get my Nectar Fuzzy Navel protein after reading all the reviews, and because I was sick of drinking chocolate and vanilla.
So, what do I think? IT'S OKAY.
I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be...at least according to all the rants and raves.
I like it because it's something different. However, I can still taste the protein. I don't think there is a product out there where you can't taste the protein. It's not a strong taste, but there is definitely a hint of it. The actual flavor reminds me of a toned down "Tang" or "Sunny-D" (by toned down I mean not as sweet or zippy). I use my immersion hand blender right in the glass to mix it all. So, it mixes quite smooth.
I will say there isn't the bad protein aftertaste that some of the other protein drinks have. That get's two thumbs up from me.
Overall, it's okay. I like it for variety, but it's not my favorite.
I love this drink and many of the other Nectar flavors. I have some in the Grab and Go packs and this flavor in the large container.
These are FANTASTIC when you need some more protein during the day without extra carbs and fat, and the it tastes like Crystal Light Peach tea.
Here is what I do:
I mix mine with 20 oz of water; however, this is all depending on how sweet you like it. I tend to mix all drink mixes (Crystal Light, too) with more water than it calls for on the package. Then, I put mine in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. It is the perfect snack when I need something.
I love the Grab and Go packs and always have a couple in my purse for emergencies.
The Synthrax brand Matrix 5.0 protein mix has really helped me lose weight pre-op! I use it as a meal replacement at least one time if not twice per day. The taste is great for a powdered drink! I have had it with water and with milk. I prefer milk because it makes it thicker. I have friends who use the Vanilla flavor in smoothies with fruit! Great Product.
