Premier Protein question

I finally ordered Premier Protein from Amazon -- it's been impossible to find at the local WalMart. For those of you who are Premier fans, do you use it in coffee or coffee-based drinks? (Like a caramel latte, for example, with the caramel flavor.) Looking for suggestions, thanks in advance.

  • Has anyone tried getting Premier shakes free from insurenutrician.com? I was happy to find that my insurance covers them so I now get them free. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

    I use them instead of milk to make sugar free instant pudding--delish! I like using them much better than using powdered Protein in the pudding. I also drink them straight. I used vanilla last week t

I enjoy the vanilla. I poured some in my coffe just last week. I was pleasantly suprised. I ordered Caramel extract off Amazon today. Im going to try that with the vanilla PP this week.

These are the only shakes I like and for the Protein and low calorie "price", they can't be beat (IMHO). I order them through Amazon. I started with chocolate. Then tried the tri-pack of Vanilla, Chocolate, and strawberry. Overall I (and most people from what I read) like chocolate the best. When I need a change, I use Vanilla. Not crazy about the Strawberry flavor.

Then I saw they added caramel. Tastes more like butterscotch to me but I still like it. Around that time, I read about mixing the flavors for variety. So I started mixing caramel with vanilla, strawberry with chocolate. Still not thrilled with the strawberry. And now I see banana. Haven't tried it yet because I found it post-op (see below for what is going on now.)

Pre-op, I lived on these for Breakfast even before my 2-weeks of liquids. Those two weeks before my surgery, Premier shakes became unch and dinner too. FYI, when it was just breakfast, I lost about 5 or 6 pounds in two months. When I did the 2-week liquid diet with them (although I cheated a little), I lost 6 pounds in those two weeks. (And I have to add that pre-op I was a very very slow loser every since my teenage years.)

Post-op, I used them at the beginning when I was on liquids and purees. Once I got to soft foods, I drink maybe 1/2 a container a day if that. Time to try mixing them into coffee, blending them together etc, because I am paranoid about getting enough protein and losing my hair if I don't.

Also, I am back at work but from home. Once I am on the go again, I'll be bringing at least one a day because they are my go-to when I don't have time to eat.

Genius!

I poured half a caramel Premier into a cup of black coffee today. Was delish. Like a caramel latte, sans guilt. I'll give the PB powder a whirl in a chocolate shake tomorrow.

I mixed some powdered Peanut Butter with my vanilla, it tasted like peanut brittle. I was pleasantly surprised

I added mine to chai tea and it was great but not had coffee yet.

I've added pb2 to both vanilla and chocolate. My morning fix most days is the chocolate with a shot of decaf espresso. It is like having a mocha. I have also done the vanilla with some pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and some cream cheese for a pumpkin pie flavour

I am anxious to hear which one you ordered and how that is going. I may want to try the same thing. I am so sick of artificial sweeteners and the same shakes so started making my own with a Garden of Life brand, but Im missing the flavor. Thinking of going to a local gourmet store to find some flavors to try too.

I drink them just the way they are. For me I use 1 per day as my Breakfast. chocolate is my favorite and really the only one I buy.

i buy them at costco and about every 3 months or so they go on sale for 5.00 off per case.

I've been pouring the caramel flavored into coffee and it's a great thing -- like a caramel latte, without all the sugar. Same with the chocolate. I haven't tried the other flavors yet, but I will snag some vanilla next time I can find it.
