I discovered the chocolate Premier shakes at Sam's pre surgery! They have saved my LIFE! The only shake I can get down now... And if they still seem too thick cut them with skim milk. Chocolate

Amazon, thanks. I too received a Rubbermaid container with my sample packs. Just glad I don't have to use a blender. Not that I don't like blenders just never had a use for one.

I drink the Premier shakes also and don't mind how they taste but they make my teeth so fuzzy! I'd recommend keeping a toothbrush on hand if you're taking them to work or traveling with them.

Alright guys. I have seen a lot of posts from people that can't seem to get their powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Bari Essentials / Isopure shakes down and I am here to tell you, there is hope. I don't typically endorse products but this has been a saving grace for me with Protein requirements.
Premier Protein - premade shakes. They are sold at Sam's Club or costco in packs of 12 or 18. I think that Costco only carries the vanilla and strawberry and cream flavor and Sam's carries the chocolate which is the one I have tried and survive by.
This shake is the consistancy of chocolate milk and there is no foam or froth in it like shakes you make at home out of powders. This allows you to drink it essentially like Water, without it tasting like powdered trash or someone else's slobber going down.
The Nutrition of it is nuts! 160 calories, 30 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, 1 gram of sugar. It is milk based protein with some whey. One shake is half of most peoples daily value of protein so if you cant stand the 8oz foamy shakes that powders make, this 11oz alternative is the way to go. They are portable so you could easily take them to work or school or on an outing, and they don't have to be refrigerated until after opening, though I highly suggest having it cold.
Cost - they are about 1.50 for a shake, so for a month supply of just one a day which is what I use it is about 45 dollars. Most of us ate that much in fast food a week prior to surgery and I know for the BariEssentials products, it was 90 dollars for a one week tub to make your own at home. ( I think that was 3 shakes a day so it might have been slightly less but it was still more expensive.)
I hope this helps some of you. Also, I would like to suggest people trading off shake mixes that didn't work out for them with someone else who wants to try something new. Make some posts about what you have and why it didn't work out for you and network with someone else to trade. Just be safe and good to one another.
