Nectar is a whey protein isolate powder that has the taste and sensory characteristics of fresh fruit juice.
Nectar Lattes is a whey protein isolate powder that has the taste and sensory characteristics of the perfect latte or coffee drink.
Nectar Medical is an unflavored protein powder that contains the highest quality whey protein isolate (WPI) called Promina. Nectar Medical is specifically formulated to be used as a medical food for bariatric surgery patients. Meeting the distinctive needs of these individuals, Nectar Medical provides an easily digestible, superior protein source with low levels of fat, sugar and total carbohydrates.
Nectar Naturals uses the same high-quality Promina whey protein isolate that is used in regular Nectar. The difference is that Nectar Naturals contains nothing artificial. This means no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no artificial sweeteners.
Nectar Sweets are whey protein isolate powders that are flavored like some of the most delicious desserts ever consumed by mankind.
Although more expensive than protein concentrates, protein isolates are a minimum of 90% protein and have zero fat and zero carbohydrates. They are considered the luxury proteins and have a refined taste and color profile. Promina brand whey protein is the only protein source used in Nectar because of its superior neutral taste, solubility and mouthfeel.
Nectar contains the purest whey protein ever created. It is snow white without the usual protein aftertaste associated with most whey proteins. Second, the flavors are engineered specifically so that Nectar has no protein off-notes or aftertastes. Only the taste of fresh fruit is noticeable. The sweetness comes from the precise blend of two high intensity, non-nutritive sweeteners.
Crystal Sky flavor is a bold combination of fruit flavors - cool, fun, refreshing blue fruit punch.
NOTE: Only those products listed with "Naturals" or "Medical" in their product name contain all natural ingredients.
GLUTEN FREE NOTICE: The majority of flavors are lactose and gluten free; however some flavors are not. Please be sure to check the nutrition facts prior to placing your order.
The Nectar, Variety Pack - Contains an assortment of 12 flavors. Will not contain the Naturals or Medical, only a random choosing (by Syntrax) of the regular Nectar flavors and Nectar Sweets.
Great product! I love the Fuzzy Navel - I blend one scoop with about 6 ounces of water, then add another 6 ounces of unflavored kefir - makes a great morning starter. Reminds me of an Orange Julius.
I also have the Roadside Lemonade, which is good, and the Cappuccino, which I blend with some Blue Diamond unsweetened chocolate almond milk and a double shot of espresso and some ice. Much cheaper than Starbucks and WHEY better for you.... ;)
I use the carribean cooler with hood lowcarb milk...I add frozen strawberries and blend and its GREAT...fruity and coconutty and creamy...I use the cappucino with the hood lowcarb milk and a teaspoon of nescafe and ice in the blender for a high protein "frappe"...delicious...highly recommend.

I have only tried the Apple Ecstasy flavor so far, but am already blown-away by the taste of this product. Unlike most of the clumpy chocolate, strawberry and vanilla protein mixes that I have tried over the years, Nectar is easy to stir, tastes great and has a clean aftertaste that you just can't get with most other whey-based mixes on the market.
The protein to carb ratio is a no-brainer. There are no carbs. No fat either. Relatively low in sodium and contains no sugars. I knew that the taste of this product was going to be different as soon as I opened the container. It has a similar aroma to those Jolly Rancher candies that I used to eat all of the time as a kid. Fortunately, this stuff happens to be a lot healthier!
About the only product I could compare this to is perhaps the fruit flavored ready to drink Isopure protein drinks that are sold in glass bottles. The taste and protein to carb ratio are pretty close to one another. Obviously, the big trade-off here is convenience vs price. You will save a few minutes of stirring and cleanup with ready to drink products, but they obviously cost a lot more and take up more space in your fridge. I think that both products are great, but I'll stick with Syntrax Nectar from now on. It's a great product at a great price, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Obviously, Netrition is a great place to order it from as well. When you figure in the fast, cheap (or free) shipping and convenience of having everything delivered to your door, Netrition is a much better deal than you will likely find at your local health food store or gym.
I'm -very- pleased with this great protein powder. It has an unbeatable carb to protein ratio (0 carbs/23 grams per serving, and the serving size is only one scoop, not 3 or 4 like some brands). Plus, the flavor is downright -good- (I tried the Latte one). After years of choking down some pretty awful stuff that companies promised "Tastes Great!", I'm pleased to find a product that actually delivers.
Also, I'm mildly lactose intolerant, and though many brands claim their whey is of "high quality" and "lactose free", they still DO have lactose in them, I can attest to that! However, Nectar does not give any bad reaction at all, so I know they're not just talk. I think Nectar is the cat's meow of high quality whey.
Nectar Latte Cappuccino is my No. 1 stand-by protein powder....I use it every morning in my coffee (mix with cool water first to make paste, then add coffee).
