Patients often ask me what the best protein supplement is or rather which product tastes the best. My answer is always that everyone will have a different taste preference. Patients need to try out different protein shakes/powders for themselves. Personally though I do not like thick creamy shakes. I prefer juice type protein supplements. Clear protein drinks do not leave a full feeling in the stomach as thicker creamy types shakes do in my opinion. One of my favorite whey protein powders is Nectar Lemon Tea by Syntrax: http://www.si03.com/.
The Lemon Tea is easy to mix, especially with a shaker bottle. The consistency is very light and easy to drink. I often add the powder to crystal light lemonade or diet iced tea to enhance the flavor. Per scoop Nectar contains 23 gm of protein. Nectar is both lactose free and gluten free. The product is sweetened with sucrolose. Nectar contains no sugar or fat. Nectar is available through many online shops as well as locally at the Vitamin Shoppe.
