Premeire Protein Drinks from Costco - BEST EVER

Costco has great pricing on these! They are premixed and can be carried along with you everywhere when you need them at a moments notice . They taste really good and I love them. Costco has Vanilla and Chocolate ( Chocolate is my favorite ) Enjoy!

160 cal / 30 grams protein / 4 grams carbs - Just awesome! :D

I was the same way, I kept trying to find a cheap(ER) Protein that I could stand and it finally got to the point that I was either going to have to spend more and just get the premieres or not get enough protein. One I my biggest fears about the surgery was looking like death warmed over once I started really losing and most say that is cause by lack of protein.. So wallet lost out to looking healthy. :)

premier drinks are the way to go !!!!!I was at walgreens yesterday and found a 4 pk of the chocolate ones for 7.99.............if anyone wants to try it out first . I kept my money and went to Sams and got my 12 pk for 18.88!!!........just throwin that out there !!!

also the 30 gram Protein bars are great too!!!!!!!.........just think 1 bar and 2 shakes and u got 90 grams !!!!i noticed a new product as well .......premier bakery bars .......they are like soft candy bar / brownies at sams as well ..........but they only have 17 grams !

Body by Vi is a multi level marketing hustle. They sell mediocre(at best) Meal Replacement shakes that are no better than buying ensure or slim fast.

As is typical around almost all MLM products there is a lot of hype & excitement. They really need this hype to get you to pay their ridiculous prices for their products.

Lets compare their product to another popular one many here use.

Premier Protein

12pk of shakes are 18.88

They have 30g protein per shake

quick math that comes to 5.23cents per gram of protein

Body by Vi

30 serving bag is 49

It contains 12g protein per serving

Same quick math it's 13.6cents per gram

30 X 12 = 360

49 / 360 = 0.136

Just out of curiosity lets compare that to nectar protein, which uses micro filtered whey protein isolate. The highest quality protein you can get.

Syntrax® Nectar

144 serving tub is 32.41

It contains 6g protein per serving

The math here comes out to 3.75cents per gram

144 X 6 =864

32.41/ 864 = 0.0375

So as you can easily see, Body by Vi is almost 4 times as expensive as the highest quality protein on the market. And is almost 2.5 times the cost of the more convenient RTD.

Thank you for that info. I will look for them!
