Hi all! I am considering joining Costco and was wondering if anyone knows their prices for ready to drink high protein low sugar shakes like premier protein. I have a "rule" that I won't pay for than $2/shake max ever and I try to spend $1.50 or less most of the time. Target's own brand is only $4.79 on a 4 pack and taste great but they only have chocolate and vanilla.

I buy the vanilla, and add frozen bananas, strawberries, or pineapple....... Blends to a thick shake consistency in my Ninja blender. Sometimes, I add a scoop of chocolate Protein powder to the vanilla, PB2, and ice...... that one gives me over 60 grams of protein in one shake.

Sounds lovely.

But I believe your body will not absorb more than 40-45 grams of protein in one portion.

Just thought I'd let you know as protein is expensive.

costco does offer shipping on their site, and they have a lot more for sale online compared to inside the store. Right now they are honoring the coupon online, as well, so a 2pk of shakes is $39.99 + $6.99 shipping. Not sure how that compares to amazon. A lot of their prices include shipping, too.

*I* personally think a Costco membership is worth it's weight in GOLD. My kids have some food allergies (and so do I) and they have tons of allergy friendly, organic and natural products.

Also, the guy who delivers from my Costco is seriously sexy. AND he puts my order away!

(my husband works there )

Costco delivers!!!! What?!!!! Need to get on that train, although, I get in a lot a steps when I go there by parking at the end of the parking lot. But they don't carry the strawberry and cream flavor in the store.

Oh you were talking about your hubby, sorry! ;/

yeah, sorry

I saw my NUT last week and have been drinking the Premier Protein drinks. I love them so! But she told me they are not the best Protein shake around because they are not 100% whey protein. She said that because of the inferior sources of protein you are probably only absorbing 10 grams of protein (as opposed to the 30 grams on the label). That was a huge wakeup call to me! Anyone else hear anything like that from their NUT?

Here's premier's explanation of their product ingredients... http://www.premierprotein.com/deeper-science-on-protein/

I purposely try to mix up my Protein sources, Not just limit to whey protein. I do milk, egg, soy and sprouted seeds

Odd....my nutritionist and my doctor highly recommends them...

That's the thing every doctor and nut is different...boy to bad we can't all be closer to the same page

They came to me recommended by nutritionalist as well as a Med Doc that does non surgical weight loss (ie low carb eating). so, I don't know what to think except I have been using them regularly for 2.5 years and have good evidence my Protein intake is good.

I think we should not change what is working for each of us

Sams has now brought back STRAWBERRY N CREAM 12 pack is $14.99 right now!! Premier protein shakes

I bought some the other day. They are really good. That price is good through July 20

I got a bunch of samples from my surgeon the costco products are the only once I can actually work with the others were horrible.
