Out of curiosity I ordered the sample pack of all the Syntrax protein powder flavors. I’m going to tell you what I think of them, but first a few things about me. I don’t mind sweet flavors, but really over the top sweetness is not my favorite. Also, I mix the packets with 8oz water – more than that and they taste really diluted. Some would probably taste better with milk, but I didn’t want the calories.
On to the reviews!
| Apple Ecstasy | apple jolly rancher, but not overly sweet | * |
|---|---|---|
| Cappuccino | cinnamon milk with a chemical aftertaste | |
| Caramel Macchiato (contains caffeine) | sweet instant coffee | |
| Carribean Cooler | not too sweet. tastes slightly like pineapple and coconut. | |
| Chocolate Truffle | chocolate milk | * |
| Crystal Sky | it’s turquoise blue! tastes like a sweet/tart fruit punch. | * |
| Double Stuffed Cookie | almost tastes like Oreos. a chocolate sludge settles to the bottom of the glass. | |
| Fuzzy Navel | deliciously peachy! really good! | * |
| Lemon Tea | sweet lemon tea. slight honey taste. would be good over ice. | * |
| Pink Grapefruit | pretty grapefruity, but not tart enough. | |
| Roadside Lemonade | nice honey-lemonade flavor | * |
| Strawberry Kiwi | initially tastes a little of strawberry with a weird aftertaste. maybe that’s the kiwi? doesn’t taste like any kiwi I’ve ever had. | |
| Strawberry Mousse | vague strawberry flavor | |
| Twisted Cherry | lackluster cherry flavor | |
| Vanilla Bean Torte | watery vanilla | |
| Vanilla Latte (contains caffeine) | sweet vanilla instant coffee | |
| Wild Grape | a very sweet and sour grape Sweetart |
* I’d buy this one again.
I think I’ll buy a tub of the Chocolate Truffle when I run out of current protein powders. I don’t think I’d get sick of it, and it was really creamy and tasty.
What’s your favorite protein powder? Do you prefer the pre-mixed kind, or do you use powders? What are your favorite add-ins? Mine is PB2!

Thanks so much, SV, for your valuable 1st person insights. End of August I will be having the gastric sleeve, but for now am completing the 4-month nutrition, etc classes to meet insurance prereqs. Hope this finds you through the toughest part and happily headed towards your goals. Thanks again, Judy
