Best Tasting Protein Shake

I got a sample of chocolate Premier Protein from my surgeon yesterday at my pre-op and I just tried it and I really don't like the taste of it. It sort of tastes like it wants to be chocolate milk but it's not quite. What are your favorite tasting shakes (brand/flavor)??

I mix my protein shakes with unsweetened vanilla cashew milk. If you are using powders, what you mix yours with can make a big difference.

No protein shake is ever going to taste like chocolate milk (Unjury chocolate splendor comes closest IMO). Look for something you can choke down fairly easily rather than something you "love."

I like Premier. I mix mine with ice and a few pieces of Fruit. It's actually not bad at all.

I don't like the premier chocolate shake cold, but heated up it's like a hot chocolate and wonderful. I also drink the vanilla and strawberry premier shake. I buy it by the case at costco.

Right now strawberry is my favorite, but it wasn't when I first had my surgery three months ago. Sometimes the strawberry taste really sweet to me and the vanilla sometimes not sweet enough.

I've also tried GNC whey Protein powder brand of Cookies and cream and also their unflavored. I use the unflavored to add to other foods. The unflavored hasn't really changed the flavor of any foods. The cookies and cream was OK, I may try to blend it up with ice but I did find that both of their protein powders worked better if I use my stick blender vs my magic bullet. Using the magic bullet caused the powders to foam too much.

I have to have a Protein shake that is less than 5g fat, less than 10g carbs and at least 15g protein. I want to be able to try them before I buy a case at Sam's club or costco. Where can I buy these? I have a GNC and Vitamin shoppe by me. No time to order online for the beginning stuff bc surgery is in 5 days

GNC let's you try them I believe. Walmart sells 4 packs of premier so you could try before buying whole case.

Do they sell multiple brands at GNC/Vitamin Shoppe? I thought they only sell store brand stuff

I did not like the Premier chocolate at all. I like Atkins a lot, although it isn't as high in Protein as Premier. The vanilla Premier is good, and I am drinking it plain and add Mio orange flavor to it. I have some strawberry EAS Advant Edge in the fridge, but I haven't tried it yet. I also have Syntrax nectar in Fuzzy Navel and Grapefruit on order.

You can get the Atkins at Walmart and the EAS Advant Edge at some Walmarts or at Target. The Syntrax nectar is sold at Vitamin Shoppe. Premier comes in a 4 pack at Walmart, so you could try the different flavors and see if you like those. Good luck!

Samples of premier and other brands?

I seem to be the only one that likes the chocolate Premier Protein!

No your not. I love the chocolate. It' s my favorite of the three flavors. I bought 2 cases of each flavor and I still have a 3/4 of a case of the strawberry. I liked the strawberry before surgery but now it just doesn't taste as good to me as it did before. I had trouble with the shakes in the 2nd case and Premier replaced the case. I was trying to get them to replace it with chocolate but they wouldn't do it. I also use The Bariatricpal Hot chocolate every morning for Breakfast. I have to have at least 1 or 2 Protein drinks a day as I am having trouble with eating enough dense protein foods to get to 60 let allow 80. I have had pain all along since week three and still do every time I eat a dense protein.
