New Premier Protein Shakes
Premier has supposedly changed their formula again. I wonder whether anyone has seen them yet in any GTA Costco stores. The last two boxes I bought with best before dates of October1, 1914 were chunky and I returned them.
The Mississauga North store finally had the Premier Vanilla in stock but I haven't tried them yet. Are they really sweet?
I haven't read one review where people like the new version. It is much thinner and weak in flavour. A lot of complaints from the US. Because it thin like water people are complaining that it doesn't fill them up that the older version. I have tried other proteins and found that issue exactly. After drinking one I was hungry 1/2 hour later. Iam worried that I am going to have to start searching again for another protein I can tolerate and that has the thickness of a shake.
I have a box of vanilla (exp. Feb/15) and a box of chocolate (Apr/15) and if they're a new formula, I haven't noticed. Tastes the same to me. As for the vanilla, I really like them and don't find them more sweet than I was expecting a protein shake to taste. They're nice whizzed in the blender with some frozen fruit too!
Edited to add: I just checked my boxes, they must be the "old" formula, no mention on the box of it being new. Which, from reading the online reviews, is lucky! lol

They are not supposed to get lumpy, clumpy at all - they are supposed to be silky, liquid. I was told that if they are clumpy, it is a result of curdling - employees at Costco admitted that the crates are left outside in the sun and this is the result which would explain the curdling before the expiration date. Advice - as soon as you purchase - open one - return for your money back if it is clumpy.
Gosh, from 1914? I didn't even know they made them then. LOL
