 Has anyone tried the Strawberry Flavor Premier Protein Shakes?  I've only ever seen the chocolate and vanilla at Costco, but see the Premier website has the strawberry flavor available.

I have never found them either and they are way more exspensive online although I have not checked Sam's and Costo's web site. They are the only protein drinks I like and would really like to try the strawberry !!!

I have.  I enjoyed the taste of the Premier shakes; however, though they advertise having 30 grams of protein, there are only 11 grams of absorbable protein in them.  :-(  I switched bc of this.

I haven't looked into the Premier Shakes specifically but usually you can determine the digestibility of protein supplements by the type of protein it is. Here is a link  -

It's all whey protein, so don't know why it wouldn't be absorbed .
Thanks for the link

Why would only 11 grams be absorbed?  It looks like all of the protein in them is from milk, which is absorbed well.

They were one of the highly recommended brands from my drs office They really are the only ones I like too. Well the chocolate, hated the taste of the vanilla. I Would really love to have something to change up on.

they were recommended by my group also !!! they said the only problem would be if you are lactose intolerant after surgery, you might not be able to tolerate them because they were whey protein
