Premier Protein Shakes Helping Me Avoid a Feeding Tude w\ Med.Guidence

To begin I will say why these shakes are so important to me; I have 2 Idiopathic digestive system disorders Gastricparerisis and Gastricstenosis. For unknown reasons they developed weeks after I had my Gallbladder removed at 19. (It means eating solid food became unpleasant even with Boxtox injections in my valve every 18months) I was told by my gastro specialist to use Protein shakes to prolong my time before having a feeding tube placed. Finding one when you have severe allergies is not easy. I have tried a ton it feels like and had many bad experiences. I even used foods meant for babies. When first diagnosed. In 2019-20 I discovered Premier Protein Shakes they were a game changer for me because they have no soy and use sunflower oil. So I can drink them without taking benadryl first. There are only 2 flavors I must avoid Chocolate Peanut butter and Cafe Latte do to the Legume and Caffeine content. I don't feel salty about this because they make so many other great flavors. I have tried every flavor I could and will say a little bit at the end for each one. By far though my favorite is Cake Batter Delight. When life hands me a lemon I have a Cake Batter Delight. When I first started using these shakes I was on two anti-nausea meds and was really struggling. I couldn't even drink a whole bottle in 24 hours. I am now on 1 nausea med as needed. I can on a low digestion day (no solid food) drink 2. Usually though I drink one for my dinner and have slider (semi solid or ground food ) during the day. Now please don't misunderstand I am not claiming they cured me. What they have done was bring me out of a state of malnutrition as my doctors and dietician explained. So I feel better and can do normal things and not live in a hospital or a foot from a bathroom. I still have all my conditions. The feeding tube as I age is still probable. Those with chronic illness will understand the Spoon theory. Primer Protein allows me to have more spoons available which, means a improved quality of life. Cake Batter 5\5 my dessert choice Caramel 5\5 like it alone or in decaf coffee or hot chocolate. Vanilla 5\5 like to use a bit on cereal too. Strawberries and Cream 5\5 no weird after taste like ensure &Boost Chocolate Winter Mint 5\5 tastes just like Andes Mints Cookies and creme 5\5 tastes like a Oreo Cinnamon Roll 3.5\5 Too Sweet for me to drink as a shake has to be in decaf coffee. Pumpkin Spice 2\5 Has the scent but flavor is weak Chocolate 1\5 brown water no chocolate taste added Nestle Nesquick Banana Cream 0\5 reminds me of Banana flavored medication for kids. Chalky. Now I have had some cons with this product. Heat and cold seems to clump it up. So on the east coast I see the Premier "worms" (they aren't parasites I showed a doctor)like people mention twice a year. It's separation of the protein blend from the water and oil. So I strain my shakes before drinking. On a few occasions I have experienced receiving spoiled shakes shipped to me or purchased locally do to a defect in the sealing process I was told. The retailers quickly resolved the issue. It's only happened Once here on Amazon and it was quickly resolved. The new clear bottle and red cap design seems to have ended the spoilage issue as it was the white bottle and cap with paper cap that was a problem in my experince. Much of the time I can find it fairly priced there have been some times I saw it and thought is it April 1st? Overall a awesome product I would give my highest recommendation

My favorite protein shake

So I began my weight loss journey a year ago, I decided to have gastric bypass & premier was on the list that my doctor gave me that was allowed to have & I tried these & I haven't stopped buying it, I've lost 110 pounds, I try to have at least 1 in the morning, I can't live without these protein shakes now lol The only downside to these is the film it has on the top of the lid, not all of them have the film but majority do, I just wipe it away before I drink it, & only other downside is they are out of stock of my favorite for months now, it's the cookies & cream, taste like oreos lol ðŸ˜‹ but hopefully it'll be back in stock soon well at least EBT eligible, cause I notice their in stock but not for EBT right now, they used to be but not for awhile now & it seems to be more expensive when it isnt ebt eligible, please bring my favorite shake back & make it EBT eligible again ðŸ˜

Love these overall, just wish they didn't have that film in the bottle neck and glass bottle options

I really love the flavor of the peanut butter protein, and they make me feel a lot better too. I had bariatric surgery over a year ago, and these shakes have been really important in my recovery. I take vitamins with a lot of iron in them, which upsets my stomach, but the shakes help coat the stomach in protein (at least that's how it feels to me) in a way that is sort of soothing. It's also a really good way to keep up on protein with little calories. I only have two concerns. One is I feel bad for drinking one every day because of the environment. I wish there was a glass bottle program I could use since I do drink one every day. In a perfect world, I'd have them delivered to the house weekly like the old time milkman ads I've seen where they left glass bottles of milk on your doorstep :) The other concern is the film that builds up in the neck of the bottle. It's like a goo. Sometimes I pack my bottle of protein for work and forget to pack a cloth to wipe it out. It will really gag you hard if you're brain thinks you're drinking a liquid and suddenly there is a goey solid in your mouth. If I remember to wipe it out, it's fine

Excellent product overall

First I must say Premier Protein is by far the best tasting of the protein shakes out there and most flavors, including Pumpkin Spice, have no nasty after taste, which is a common issue with other brands of protein shakes. It is the only brand I use anymore. I also appreciate the nutritional value as 1 shake has 25% of the recommended daily amount of each of the essential vitamins and minerals. I also enjoy such a variety of flavors. I was however slightly dissapointed with Pumkin Spice flavor as I had expected it to have stronger concentrations of pumpkin and the pumpkin pie spices. The flavor in it is quite subtle in comparrison to other flavors of this brand. In fairness, that may be a result of keeping the carb and sugar count down ( as using more pumpkin would increase both ) and with less pumpkin, more spices would potentially be overpowering and lead to an undesireable after taste. Overall it is an excellent product, which I will continue to enjoy. I do have to watch carefully as the price fluctuates and is often too high. I stock up on each flavor I like when the price is down and tend not to purchase it when the price is up. The price fluctuations are different with each flavor and do not seem to have any rhyme or reason. I noticed that "easy to hold" is a category for rating this product. In this area they do excellent. I have a friend who is quadraplegic and has contracted hands, and he can hold the bottle and drink it with a straw without dropping or spilling it. Premier protein bottles are the only ones I know of that are shaped so well that he can do this

My absolute favorite!

I had stomach surgery, so I have had to drink protein shakes ever since just to make sure that I get the amount of nutrition that I need. I tried several, everything from Ensure to Fairlife, and the Premier Protein is fantastic. It's smooth, it's not overly thick like the others and they taste amazing. The only ones I drink now are the Cafe ones because they have coffee in them. It gives me that little pick me up I need to get my day going. I get the small nugget Ice and make it up like a iced coffee, and I honestly can't tell any difference from an actual one I would pay for. I've had several flavors and they all are excellent. My husband accidentally brought home Ensure last week and made me a drink. (Strawberry). I could tell instantly just by the texture and thickness of it that it wasn't my favorite. I'm hoping to try some of the other flavors in pudding! I've heard that's a great way to have a small treat and get your protein. Love them

DELICIOUS!

People often mention the viscosity of these shakes. Yes, they're thick, but I've never had such a tasty option. Chocolate is good and meets expectations. Banana is delicious if you like banana Cinnamon Roll...Oh my GOODNESS....This is amazingly flavorful and is wonderful on its own, or amazing as a coffee creamer alternative. I typically drink my coffee black, but after the Mrs. poured some into a hot cup of joe, I had to give it a shot. Cafe Mocha - Delicious and contains caffeine! This is our go-to, primarily due to Cinnamon Roll being frequently unavailable. This too works as an amazing coffee creamer. Long story short, if you're looking to try protein shakes for the first time, or shopping brands, this is by far the best I've had. Repurchasing without having to shop brands makes life so much easier

Great taste and even better for you!

My mother was not doing well. Not getting the proper amount of protein. She was tire all the time and barely wanted to get out of bed. We got her these to drink and she is doing so much better. The chocolate is rich and delicious. The caffeine is very tasty and does have a bit of caffeine and the vanilla is wonderful too. We have also add frozen fruit and whip it up in the blender. YUMMY!! I would recommend the shake to anyone. Add bonus: her doctor told us these shakes a one of the healthier protein shakes for easy protein intake with very low sugar. She is a diabetic so these are an excellent choose for her

Cinnamon roll is very strong on the cinnamon, head's up!

It's an interesting flavor, not what I expected at all. Takes time to get used to, and I'm betting many people will not like the intensity of the cinnamon and it's aftertaste. For me it's ok, not great but not bad. I need these shakes to get in some nutrition due to several health conditions...so I drink at least one a day. This one had never shown available before...AND it was under 30 for the 12pk at the time. Gave it a shot, I mean my maintenance meds for cancer taste like black licorice so this...this is a step up. What I don't like about Premier pre-mixed shakes on amazon is this. Why is the price for 12 on amazon more than the price for a 24pk in the stores? That makes no sense. But the stores carry only the basic flavors or 4pks of the extended flavors......and you can never find anything from the Oats series. Not in the midwest at least. Either way, if you enjoy cinnamon give it a try. Be advised it's strong and will taste more like cinnamon drink and not so much an actual cinnamon roll

By far my favorite protein shake

I bought these shakes on Amazon because sometimes it can be hard to come across them in the store. As for the price, it seems to be about the same regardless of where you go. But it's much less of a hassle when you know you can go on Amazon and find it here. As opposed to going to three different stores and still not being able to find what you're looking for. Or having to settle with the next best flavor because they don't have the one you want. If this is someone who has never tried this specific protein shake, everyone has their favorite.. And because it has 30 g of protein it is 100% worth it. I drink two everyday and that puts me more than halfway so my daily goal of protein. Highly recommend for anyone who is trying to up their protein, who has recently had weight loss surgery, or who has just had any surgery, as protein after surgery will make you heal faste

Good and somewhat filling Protein Drink

Good amount of protein and decently filling but not a meal replacement. I usually use them as a snack for working out and to offset heavier meals, often taken a while before working out. The chocolate tastes decent, though I wouldn't say its the most amazing taste ever it is pretty close to chocolate milk. I'm not big on vanilla but the vanilla ones are actually pretty good and I'm sure vanilla lovers might be more pleased with these if vanilla is a preference as I think it beats chocolate on quality of taste just slightly. Both are good, though. The packaging to remove the lid could be improved. A tad needlessly hard to remove as it doesn't come off smoothly and could be easier to peel off. Not a huge issue but, honestly, they could easily improve this and I'm not sure why it is designed as current. Oddly tends to freeze up in fridge so I have to put in fridge only a few hours prior which is a bit annoying otherwise becomes frozen chunks. Shipping can be hit or miss. I've seen them take over a month to ship out in some cases. I wouldn't complain if pricing was a bit cheaper, too. Minor gripes aside this is one of the better protein drinks and I've swapped to using these over protein powders
