Premier Protein Shakes
Hi everyone, I hear people talking a lot about how they like Premier protein shakes. I can't find anywhere that has them to trial, you have to buy the whole case. Considering I have tried about 7 different kinds and not liked any of them I don't want to spend that kinda money. I went to Popeye's and they let me try a few kinds of whey protein isolate shakes but I didn't like any of them and no Premier. I tried www.vitalady.com they do not have Premier that I seen, although I did purchase a couple of their starter packs to try. I also purchased some sample packs from Unjury to try as well but still looking for Premier. Costco has them but where I live it's only in chocolate right now and by the case no trial size uugghh. I sent Premier an e-mail and was told I could get them at Walmart but that must be in the US because I have been to several Walmarts here in Ontario around my area (Peterborough, Belleville, Trenton) and I can't find them and Premier doesn't sell trial samples on-line so I was told by the person *****sponded to my e-mail. I just want to try their chocolate, vanilla and strawberries & cream. I know protein is very important post-op that is why I'm trying to see what kinds I at least tolerate and maybe even like a little before hand so I have an idea where to start after surgery. I know my tastes may and probably will change but at least I'll have a starting point to work from versus having no clue. Any idea's would be fabulous, I live in a pretty rural area but I do travel to Toronto a couple times a month. Thank you

Ya Costco and Sam's club are the only places. Sam's is in the states. I think all Costco's sell Chocolate and some vanilla but no strawberry in Canada yet. I would love to try the Strawberry. I really like the chocolate but not the vanilla so much. You can pick up a case of 18 for $26.99.

After my experience at Popeyes I was very hesitant to try anymore because they smelled so bad and tasted just as bad but I got brave and tried the Pure Protein Ready to Drink shakes just now and they were tolerable. I tried Strawberries & Cream, Vanilla and Chocolate. The ranked then 1. Chocolate 2. Strawberry 3. Vanilla all were tolerable and didn't have that awful smell woohoo progress :-)

You can return them even if you open the case to try one???

The smell of most protein powders is gross in my opinion. The best thing to do is get a cup with a lid that you can't smell the protein. I have one from Popeye's that has a shaker ball in it and I use it for every shake I drink so I don't smell the protein. I did try the premier from costco and didn't like them so I just returned the case minus one. It was not problem to get a refund. My favourite protein shake is the syntrax nectar roadside lemonade. I couldn't do the creamy shakes after surgery. Good luck finding one you like.
