I need to find a replacement for Premier Protien Shakes



Recommended Posts

Premier Nutrition went a pulled a Coca Cola formula switch and the new shakes taste HORRIBLE. I USED to like them because they were smooth and rich in chocolate taste and ready to drink.

Now I need a replacement shake, I would like something that is creamy and smooth and ready to drink. I would like to stay around the 30 grms mark if possible.

Any suggestions?

I use GNC amplified wheybolic Protein. 3 scoops are 60 grams of protein. I divde them in three shakes. They are one of the best Proteins that I have found so far..Hopefully that helps ya..

Thank you I am hopping to find a pre made one like the Premier shakes as I don't have a lot of time in the morning and no way to mix one at work.

Oh no! Thankfully I stocked up when I went to Cosco last time. I don't have many left though. : (

Please take the time to call Premier, their phone number is on the back of each can/box. If enough people complain we can get them to fix it!

I like muscle milk light RTD but it's only 20 grams not 30. It is sweeter than Premeire though. I still have my old box of Premeire. It would suck to buy a new box and have them taste awful. I will have to taste them in the store. costco is 100 miles from my house so I have to know if I like it.

My daughter had gastric bypass and she likes Oh Yeah Protein drinks. They are RTD too. You'd probably have to order them online. If you have GNC at least you could taste one though.

Try Isopure smoothie: Orange/berry, peach, or pomegrate/berry. It's 16oz and 32 grams of Protein.< /p>

I heard Isopure Is good as well and you can get the gold card from GNC and save 20% to 25%.on all purchases...in store its only $10 dollard ol line its $15,but it does save a lot.....they have isopure in 5 different flavors,,,or go to Unjury I heard theres is always good...I drink muscle milk,its pretty good a lil strong...you get it muscle milk-strong...lol...just kidding but it is really good...you should give it a try...

EAS makes quite a few different RTD shakes. They are pricey though. I have found coupons for them and they are often on sale. But they just can't compare cost-wise to Premier.

Also I know everyone is different (different surgeon's different guidelines, etc.) but my surgeon wants all WLS patients OFF shakes by 6 weeks post-op. I can almost always get my 70-ish grams of Protein from food, no shakes. I do on occassion grab a shake if I'm headed out the door and don't have time for a proper "meal", but that is something you might consider...weaning off the shakes. Just food for thought. ;)

The Bolthouse Farms ones taste --AMAZING--, but they've got a good bit of sugar (albeit organic cane sugar, but still)

I figure it's worth it in the long run though, since I'll actually DRINK these. They have 'em at Target. Try one!

GOOD NEWS! Premier Nutrition chocolate shakes have been changed (either again, or back to the original formula) they're no longer thick, they're great!

I had been drinking the vanilla but my last box was chunky and not a drinkable consistency. I had to return the box and costco no longer carries vanilla (bummer) I've never been able to try the strawberry but Premier Nutrition's website says it's out there. At least the chocolate is good again!

That's great news! What's the expiration date of your non-thick box so that I can find them at my costco? I hated those thick ones.

Sorry it took me so long!

The expiration date on my current box is 9/26/2012. And, more good news- the Vanilla shakes are back at Costco!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
