Tried A New Protein Drink Today



Recommended Posts

I am not a Protein drink drinker. Even in my Clear liquid phases I drank Instant Breakfast. Couldn't stomach the thought of a Protein shake. (doing Optifast 20 years ago made me nauseas just thinking of Protein shakes)

BUT-I was at costco today and they were sampling both the chocolate and vanilla Premier canned protein drinks- 30 grams of protein, about 180 calories, 1 gr sugar $24 for 18 cans.

I was actually able to swallow it! Both flavors! Didn't notice any protein aftertaste. The vanilla had a faint coconut flavor-but it was nice.

If I had to do Protein shakes ever again I would definitly go with these.

And with costco, if you buy the case, try one and don't like it-You can return the remainder of the case and they will refund all of your money.

I totally agree - I tried about 5 different kinds of Protein Shakes prior to surgery and the ones from costco were by far my favorite! Haven't tried the vanilla ones, I'm happy with the chocolate :) I also mix in a 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt to my shakes to get an additional 11.5g of Protein. Plus a half banana just because I love bananas! Yummy!

Yes, the Premeir shakes are the best I've tried all around. I have been espousing their awesomeness on the board for quite some time.

I'm almost 7 months out and have at least one a day.

Congrats on finding what works for you.

It's the only one I could handle after many trys of other product. I tell everyone about them...even my friends that haven't had surgery.

Does anyone know if you can get the shakes anywhere else besides costco?

You can also get the shakes at Sams Club...at least the chocolate ones. Price in Bama is 17.88 for a 12 pack. You can order them online too but they are more on their website at www.premiernutrition.com. I agree with everyone else these shakes are the best!!!

I agree with all they are my favorite by far. My hubby thinks they taste a lot like a little thicker chocolate milk he does low carb and has lost 40 lbs. They are a part of our regular pantry items and will be forever.

I thought they were specific to costco ShoeLover, I just found them on-line but they are a little more expensive $28 a case.

Yeah for premier!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
