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!

      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. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
