I am a picky eater. It is what is is. I do not like the texture of 90% of protein shakes and protein bars. I LOVE the bananas and cream as well as the strawberries and cream premier protein. I purchase them in the premixed versions as well. If I have to mix it, I am less likely to use it. Sometimes, it is not always the cheaper version that is better. If is sits on your shelf and expires, you did not save a thing. As a pharmacist, I always have these shakes handy. If I was too busy through lunch to eat, I grab one of these. If I get hungry after dinner, this has that sweetness I crave without the calories of junk food. Also, when any one in my family has a dental procedure and cannot eat, these are my go to. I use these ESPECIALLY when pain medication or ibuprofen ... MoreI am a picky eater. It is what is is. I do not like the texture of 90% of protein shakes and protein bars.

Also, when any one in my family has a dental procedure and cannot eat, these are my go to. I use these ESPECIALLY when pain medication or ibuprofen is needed as those usually require something in the stomach. When anyone has a sore throat or had their tonsils out, these can be soothing. They can also be frozen until just slushy enough to really calm the swelling in the throat. Finally, when anyone in my family is under the weather and doesn't feel like eating, these can be great. If someone had nausea and vomiting, these are another great way to slowly reintroduce food. Any protein drink can be used for all of these things, but the KEY is, it needs to taste good. I know the premier products taste good, and I know a lot of others are not that great. That is why I recommend Premier because they are actually delicious. Also, these are a great option if someone just had dental work and cannot eat- especially if pain medicine/ibuprofen is required because taking those with food is often important and "with food" is not an option.

I started on premier protein about 3 years ago when I began my “serious” weightloss journey. I started somewhere around 275lbs. I was considering bariatric surgery with all my failed diets and work out plans. I began seeing a dietitian during the bariatric preparation. She recommended these shakes to me to get the appropriate amount of protein needed to follow the diet I was given. Once o started following her diet plan to a T with these shakes, I lost around 60lbs. I did not get the surgery. There is not a day that goes by now that I don’t have my morning protein shake. Premier protein to be exact. I have tried quite a few of their flavors like the vanilla, chocolate, cafe’ latte, peanut butter, one of my personal faves is the blueberry plus oats (I can’t find them ... MoreI started on premier protein about 3 years ago when I began my “serious” weightloss journey.

There is a flavor for everyone, the vanilla is ALWAYS in my house. The only downfall I have with these is if I don’t keep the appropriate amount of fiber intake and pre+probiotics, the constipation can get pretty serious. Just follow your healthy diet plan and add these if you need that boost of protein! You can’t go wrong with an ice cold vanilla shake!

Ehh Not The Greatest

My Ratings of the different ones I've tried: 1. Chocolate: Good everyday protein drink. 2. Cake Batter: This one may be tied for first! It's delicious and gets rid of my sweet tooth craving. (I'm not even a cake person, so was surpsied on how much I liked this one.) 3. Vanilla: Plain, but a good flavor for a protein drink. 4. Chocolate Peanut Butter: Good taste. 5. Cafe Latte: It's good, but not a flavor I'd want to drink everyday. 6. Caramel: I'm normally a big fan of caramel, but it honestly wasn't my favorite. I'd drink it if it were the only thing available, but not a flavor I would buy if others were available. 7. Cookies & Cream: STAY AWAY! Cookies & Cream ice cream is my fav, so I figured I would love this flavor. WRONG! I couldn't even get myself to take ... MoreMy Ratings of the different ones I've tried: 1.

Excellent product

Major plus points for me:* 30g Protein. One of the highest protein amounts you can get in a prepared shake for a decent enough price.* Only 1 gram of total sugar and 0 added sugars while also low-fat with only 3 grams fat, 1 gram of that being saturated. Often when something is advertised as low carb/sugar, it will have extra fat and low-fat usually means more added sugars because companies do this to improve/balance taste. This product is low on both and thus, makes a great meal replacement if you'd like to lose weight or stay lean while also tasting fantastic.* Again, great taste, both chilled and at room temperature. It's as sweet as you'd expect and smooth as any coffee from your local coffee shop (not grainy or mealy at all).Overall:One of the better ... MoreMajor plus points for me:* 30g Protein.

True high protein, low carb AND low-fat. Gluten-free. Great taste and texture/consistency. A lot of benefits. Price could be better but this is also SNAP/EBT-eligible, which is a plus. There are some questionable ingredients but they're also in the majority of high-protein products, in general. The shake does contain the known allergens milk and soy, so IF you're allergic to either, do NOT buy this. Other than that, great product and highly recommended.

SOY INGREDIENTS - ESTROGEN PRODUCER - NO GOOD !!!

Ingredients were fine until SOY and SOY products no good. Soybeans is an Estrogen producer (Fact). Men, Women, Children, PreTeen, Teenagers have a balance of Testosterone and Estrogen, producing more Estrogen in Male or Women will affect the balance. If you are over say 45 year old male your Testosterone levels become reduced already, and do not need Estrogen producer. You get older your Testosterone numbers will become lower and you will be seeking Testosterone replacement either through injection or gel from a physician. Soybeans are cheap and mass grown, so they are added to many products.....do not need in health bars. For a Women there is already Estrogen balance and disrupting this balance with an estrogen producer is not good. Go ahead and Google scholarly ... MoreIngredients were fine until SOY and SOY products no good. Soybeans is an Estrogen producer (Fact).

Terrible taste!

Upon opening the product, it did smell like peaches and cream. However, after one swallow, the taste became terrible. The flavor on my taste buds was terrible, and the closest thing I can describe it to is being like the way a yucky ashtray smells...horrible. This is the second flavor of PREMIUM PROTEIN shakes I've tried and both have very similar flavors. The after taste of how an ashtray smells. I'm not a smoker and I've had the misfortune of being near a full ashtray which smells terrible. This product must have a strange chemical in it.🤢😵‍💫 Again, I have to toss this stuff in the trash and call it an "expensive" lesson learned. Please save your dollars. I have tried Wamart's EQUATE brand of protein shakes and they taste good. Think I'll stick with them in the ... MoreUpon opening the product, it did smell like peaches and cream.

Up Protein Intake

The flavor is good; 1/2 cup coffee and 1/2 cup vanilla shake; add to frozen strawberries and Oikos strawberry yogurt and a few small ice cubes; blend in a blender or smoothie maker, makes a great smoothie type shake; add a banana for extra flavor. Use as liquid in making oatmeal, add a little cinnamon and blueberries or thin apple slices or banana, no sugar is needed; quick in microwave. Latte, caramel, vanilla, and chocolate flavors go great in flavoring coffee or making an iced coffee - cup of coffee, a shake and some crushed ice; no sugar needed. Use as a protein supplement or snack for picky eaters, elderly, or someone who is ill.

What it tastes, what i think, %26 how it helps me.

This drink tasted really good and it was the first option just to go the safe way for my first time having a protein shake. Definitely recommend for those who want to have a small step to having a healthy diet. I like to drink it in the mornings when I have this drink and recently as a snack because it is late and I was a bit hungry but also thirsty. The drink tastes pretty good, like the ones made for kids but you can taste the vanilla and some perhaps some milk too. I would try the other flavors but so far Vanilla is pretty pretty good. Drinking it in the morning is good because it clears your stomach(if you know what i mean) and it helps to not eat so much or be so hungry. I usually don't eat in the mornings due to not enough time but when I don't and I have this ... MoreThis drink tasted really good and it was the first option just to go the safe way for my first time having a protein shake.

Yummy whether Room Temp or Cold

This isn't my first time investing in the premier protein brand. I was introduced to the brand years ago from Sam's Club, and I'd purchase various flavors like peach, banana, cookie %26 cream, and caramel. This brand has always been tasty and a gamechanger when I'm pressed for time. I recently resumed purchasing the premier protein brand after having surgery and needing a more high protein diet. Wal-Mart didn't have all my favorite flavors from the past, but they did have caramel. The caramel is still as good as I remember. I usually freeze my caramel, and it reminds me of a frozen frappe, which is nice. I highly recommend this brand and flavor profile💜💜💜
