Ready to Drink Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

The best in my opinion is Premier Protein ready made shakes. The come in chocolate, strawberry cream and vanilla. You can get them at SAMs and costco a lot cheaper than other places but I have seen them at Walgreens.

I found I could not tolerate any of the powders and this was the only kind I could make work for me. They are delicious and have 30grams of Protein and 1 gram of sugar in each shake.

chocolate is the best although recently I bought strawberries and cream and they are good as well.

@@Mobeans63, I agree with @Djmohr. My daughter's aunt had lap band surgery 3 years ago and she swears by Premier before and after surgery. Even drinks them now. Since my surgery is in two weeks she bought me over a carton of Strawberries and Cream and chocolate so that I can sample. They both were super delicious plus only 1gram of sugar and 30grams of Protein. Strawberries and Cream was the best. I love everything chocolate and that one was great as well. I just had pre-conceived notions that the strawberry one would taste like cough medicine, lol... so SHOCKED it was so delicious!

I start my pre-op diet on Monday and will be purchasing more this weekend. Other brands tasted horribly although I am still looking for other varieties...

Best of LUCK!!!

Count me in with the rest of the group. I'm a Premier shake fan all the way! Walgreens is expensive - over $8 for four shakes. Walmart is a little more reasonable, a little over $5 for the four. I don't know about the clubs - not a member. My favorite is the strawberry Cream. These are really good. I couldn't handle the powders. Oh...and a lot more convenient since they are premade.

I like mine over ice. Nice and cold.

Wow I thought that the premier shakes tasted like crap according to my co worker I will definitely try them now

Maybe it's me but the Premier strawberry shake leaves an after taste, but I have yet to try chocolate and vanilla.< /p>

I just tried the chocolate Premiere Protein, and I really like it. I also like the cans of Pure Protein.

Premier premier premier.. All flavors of Premier Protein are amazing. Very inexpensive to buy and it provides a load of 30mg per shake or per scoop if buying powder. Also i recommend Quest Protein. I have the unflavored one to use on my foods and it is good.

I'm still pre but I should be having my procedure in September. I wanted to get Premier from costco while it's on sale but I've heard that your taste changes after surgery. I worry if I like them now, I may not like them after my surgery.

I too love Premiere. I like the strawberry really cold, I put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before I drink it. The chocolate one I mix in my coffee with about a half of a packet of sweet n low when I'm craving a starbuck's latte. I haven't had the vanilla because I can never find them. Oh and I am forever finding coupons that save me about $3 on a 4 pack, I have yet to pay more than $4 a pack.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
