Those are the exact flavors i have Chocolate and caramel. Maybe its just my nose but it smells bad for me.

if you can find some place to buy just 1 and see if it is the same.

I drink the vanilla, Chocolate and Carmel and have never smelled anything odd..and I have a very sensitive nose.. I’d take those back..maybe you got a bad batch or something happened to them.

I've only notice an odd smell once. It was a vanilla one. It smelled awful; I couldn't drink it. That was the only one though.

Premier protein (chocolate, vanilla, caramel) have been staples for me since pre-op. But, in the last few weeks I have to force myself to drink them. I'm trying to clear up my supply before I switch brands. It's not the smell of the Premier Protein. They are just too sweet tasting for me and there's a thick quality to them that is off-putting to me. I assume it has to do with preservatives to keep them good at room temperature.

All protein supplements that I've tried have some smell/taste. I suppose it can be nasty to some. I've gotten used to it and some brands are better than others. I used Unjury brand for years with my lap band and am going back to what I know works for me. Besides, the powders are more versatile. The RTD is sure convenient, but with limited variety.

Yep!! I can smell it too. I pour it out of the carton and the smell goes away. ??‍♀️??‍♀️

It always smells to me, i couldn't even drink it for awhile but started doing ok with them again. I never let my nose get a wiff.

The aseptic container is what keeps them good at room temperature, just like in other countries 100% milk is packaged similarly. The thickness is done purposefully by the manufactures, because (some? most?) people want a shake like consistency.

Where did you purchase the shakes? I purchased some from Costco and they made me sick. About 2 weeks later I get a post card in the mail from Costco saying the consistency wasn't to standard and to bring them back to the store for a refund.

I got mines from costco and the manufature. Both stinky! I need to use a straw when i drink it.

I would call Costco and ask them for a refund or exchange. You shouldn't have to alter the way you drink to enjoy a product. I wouldn't want you to get sick like I was. Also I wouldn't use a straw, causes gas in the pouch.
