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 55 my dessert choiceCaramel 55 like it alone or in decaf coffee or hot chocolate.Vanilla 55 like to use a bit on cereal too.Strawberries and Cream 55 no weird after taste like ensure &BoostChocolate Winter Mint 55 tastes just like Andes MintsCookies and creme 55 tastes like a OreoCinnamon Roll 3.55 Too Sweet for me to drink as a shake has to be in decaf coffee.Pumpkin Spice 25 Has the scent but flavor is weakChocolate 15 brown water no chocolate taste added Nestle NesquickBanana Cream 05 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 .

I am very satisfied. UPDATE!
[BEFORE SHAKING clean any “slime” from inside the neck and cap. Then check bottom for dense residue to determine if it needs to be strained.*] I am an elderly woman who is suffering from kidney and heart issues. I don’t have much appetite, so also losing muscle like crazy. I am looking like all those other wrinkly, skinny old people I said I wouldn’t. So my doctor said high protein shakes. Okay. I started researching. Because of price and ratings I started with a couple 4-pks of Premier from a local grocery outlet. Cafe latte… Yum! Then I went to Amazon to get regular deliveries because I no longer drive. Read lots of reviews. I noticed some mentions of outlets besides Amazon. I also noticed a link to ‘Premier Store’. Given the bad reviews re slime and expiration dates, I carefully made sure I wasn’t ordering through an outside source. Don’t know if that actually helped, but I have had very few of those issues in the past 2+ years. *Although, to make sure on the slime, I open a bottle before shaking and check inside the neck and cap, to wipe out if suspicious. Then re-cap and shake, shake, shake. One could also pour through a fine/tea strainer. Besides Cafe Latte, I have tasted Peaches and Cream, Vanilla, and Strawberries and Cream. None of these are strong flavored, but I can taste the chocolate and coffee in my favorite. The Vanilla is refreshing, as is the Peaches and Cream (which has a delicate peach flavor). The Strawberries and Cream is cooling and not untasty, just not much flavor. And I have added Bananas and Cream, which is also nice but mild. One more issue: digestion. Some people’s innards don’t like the soy and/or the lactose. Others are more forgiving. I get some bloat but the benefit I receive outweighs any mild discomfort. Just because some people can’t tolerate this product doesn’t mean it’s bad. My last note…lead. Lead is bad. But I have been around lead for many decades, from leaded gasoline polluting roadside blackberries (oh, no!) to lead in paint for all kinds of things. It hasn’t had much impact on me (that I know of) and I am not giving these to anyone else, so, in the meantime, whatever life I have left will not be spent worrying about it. Granted, you younger people and children do need to be cautious. Ain’t it fun?UPDATE: 23 Oct 2023 1. To start, the shakes I get are shipped in thick, heavy-duty boxes in which the bottles are closely and firmly packed and the company name and other pertinent info is printed on the outside. If yours isn’t it is likely from an outside vendor, with issues such as expiry dates and improper storage, not to mention higher prices. 2. Regarding the slime and stomach issues, they appear to be caused by the same “problem”— the protein. While some flavors have two types of condensed (is that the word I want?) milk proteins combined, some also have soy. The proteins sometimes separate a bit causing the slime. My suggestion above still holds. And, I’m sorry to say, the stomach issues are also caused by the milk proteins and lactose. Over 60% of Americans suffer from some level of lactose intolerance (not allergy); an individual’s level of intolerance will determine how bad you feel. Jeeze! Finally, recycling the bottles: Rinse and zip off the cover which is discarded. Done. BUT if you live in either Oregon (me) or Maine you have the option to redeem the bottles for 10 cents or 5 cents, respectively, if the portion of the cover stating so is still attached. Granted it’s not a lot, but it builds. The choice is yours. I am drinking 2-3 daily, so I am donating my $$ to our residential park’s CERT program to buy disaster supplies. [Oregon is in the middle of the Cascadia Subduction Zone –northern CA to Vancouver Island BC– inevitable massive (9 +/-) earthquake. When, not if.] Now I’m done! Have a healthy life.

Great flavor
I have added these shakes to my subscribe and save because they are perfect for getting some extra protein in on the go. The flavor is great, the mint isn’t overpowering. The shake is good quality, smooth and creamy without any grittiness or chalkiness and it has 30 grams of protein with no added sugar. One shake keeps me full until my next meal. The bottles are way too open and small enough to fit in my purse.

Arrived quickly in Australia, sooner than was stated. Sweet vanilla flavour, thin consistency. Be sure to drink ice cold and shake well. Have just ordered another flavour to try, too.
