Alternative to Preimier Protein shakes?

Can anyone suggest an alternative to the individual pre-made Premier shakes? I use to love them but now, since the last 2 cases have been chunky, they gross me out.

I like the convenience of pre-made and the high protein count of Premier.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. enlightened

I've heard GNC lean shakes are pretty awesome from someone in my support group but they said its a bit pricey...you should check it out online and see if it would be good for you

i was at Costco today and saw Kaizen Whey Isolate protein powder for  48$ huge tub and one scoop gives 35grams of protein, it comes in Chocolate and Vanilla flavors.  I am not to keen to try the premade shakes after reading about the chunky issue, i am considering trying this brand as it is a good value for money.

35 grams of protein is amazing! Thank you--I'll check it out the next time I'm at Costco. I'm trying to find a GNC close to where I live to look into the other suggestion. I was interested in the premade because of convenience, but I don't know if I'll be able to get over that whole chunky problem.

I see your surgery is only a month away. Congrats!!

Costco also has GNC products, i was looking at another one that is iced capp but it is 25grams of protein per scoop, mixes in cold water and has great reviews online.

Thank you, i am so excited about my surgery, i start optifast on Monday!!

Pure Protein shakes are good.They have them at the Vitamin Store.A lot of different flavors.And you can try one instead of buying a case.

I like the idea of having the option of trying one before buying a case. Thank you for the suggestion.

What is up with the chunky issue anyway? The vanilla ones I have do not have that problem, but three cases of chocolate I have all had chunks. I called the company that makes them and they said they were aware of the issue and that it was the protein. Weird. Anyway they said they would send me a refund cheque, well never got one...anyway brought each box back to Costco to try another but still the same flipping problem, yuck. I truly hate powders and haven't found one I like yet so I am pretty disappointed I can't get them with those lovely blobs yuck!
