Premier Protein Review and Giveaway

72 Comments

A couple weeks ago, Premier Protein asked if I would be willing to try out and review some of their products.

I’d tried their chocolate protein shakes before and LOVED them, so I was more than happy to try out their vanilla shakes and protein bars as well. 😉

Soooo, I received this fun package in the mail…

Premier Protein Package

I have been using the protein shakes and protein bars the past couple of weeks and I have enjoyed ALL of them!

Premier Protein Shakes

I REALLY love their protein shakes so much!  First off, they taste GOOD!  I enjoyed both the vanilla and chocolate flavors equally.

I’ve had some protein shakes before that are thick, chalky and just hard to drink.  I love that these protein shakes are thin, tasty and really easy to drink.  I also LOVE that they only have 160 calories, yet 30 grams of protein!  Awesome!

Premier Protein Shake

These protein shakes are also the perfect post-workout drink.  I know it’s important to consume protein (and carbohydrates!) after a workout to help repair muscles and refuel the body.  These shakes make it very easy to do that!

I also love how portable they are.  I like to leave one in my car when I go to the gym (in the summer, I keep it in an insulated lunch box with an ice pack.)  It makes it very easy to get my protein in after a workout.

Premier Protein Bars

I had never had Premier Protein Bars before, so I was excited to try them out.  They have three flavors; Chocolate Peanut Butter, Yogurt Peanut Crunch and Double Chocolate Crunch.

Premier Protein Bars

I liked the Double Chocolate Crunch kind the best (shocker, I know!)  I liked the Yogurt Peanut Crunch one too, but I didn’t love the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor quite as much.

I must say, these bars aren’t the best tasting I’ve ever had, but they aren’t bad either.  I’ve had some pretty gross protein bars before and I’ve also had some good tasting ones too.  BUT, the good tasting ones are usually packed with sugar too!  Go figure.

Anyway, there are several things I really liked about these bars….

First off, they are HUGE!  They are high in calories (about 290), but that’s because they are so giant.  I only ate about 1/2 of the bar at a time.

I LOVE that each bar has 30 grams of protein, yet doesn’t have a ton of sugar or fat.  I also loved that these bars are really filling!  Even though I only ate 1/2 of a bar at a time, it always filled me up and stopped my hunger pangs.

I love how portable protein bars are too.  I like to keep one in my purse in case of “emergencies.”  I also like to eat protein bars after a workout as well…

Me with Premier Protein Bar

Soooo, overall I really enjoyed Premier Protein’s products.  I think they offer great, convenient and high quality shakes and bars.

So, where do you buy them?  They are available at Costco, Walmart and Sam’s Club.  I love to buy the shakes at Costco because they come in a giant pack of 18!

    I would love to try these snacks. I think protein is very important to our bodies and I don’t get enough of it. These healthy snacks seem to be the perfect combination of tastiness and protein!

    I would love to try these. I have tried different types of protien shakes and am trying to find “the one” that works for me. I know how important it is to get protien after a workout – and these sound yummy! I will share this on my FB page as well.

    I’m a runner, and my kids are vegetarian — so protein is something that ALL of us need in a handy package. Would love to try these.

    I would love to give these a try. We are coming up on our active time of year and I find it very hard to find high protein food that is portable enough to carry while whitewater kayaking and backpacking.
    I have recently started following your blog and love your honesty with the products you sample.

    I follow your blog! 🙂 But I am also interested in their brand. I recently got a Costco membership and have been experimenting with whey protein and bars and shakes. I have not seen this brand yet. So far my fave is Pure Protein.

    Love the chocolate shakes, I would love to try the vanilla and the bars! The shakes have been awesome after workouts, but as the weather warms up, I’ve been thinking a bar would work better sitting in the car while I’m working hard in the gym! So, I’d love to win 🙂

    I would love to try these protein supplements! I would use the drinks for the AM before my run with the pups and the bars would be great for when I am out of the house. Thanks Melanie for the giveaway 🙂

    I would love to try these. DId they rebrand? It seems they use to be Pure Protein. Maybe not. I have a hard time adding protein to my diet. Breakfast and dinner are easy, but post work out and lunch are hard for me. So this would be a nice easy option.

    Protein is the hardest macro-nutrient for me to get enough of so I use bars/shakes to keep my intake up. Plus you make them sound tasty!

    I have heard great things about Premier Protein products from two friends who are losing weight with them. I would love to try them – as they are not easy to find in my area – because I have been having a difficult time losing the 20 lbs I recently gained (thank you, Menopause) and I have my first cruise coming up in Nov 2014 (woo-hoo!) I do occasionally have trouble with whey protein, so is there any way to get a free sample to be sure I can tolerate it prior to ordering the products? Thanks!

      I really love Premier Protein products. I’m sorry to hear about your weight gain, but excited for you about your cruise! So fun! I don’t have any free samples unfortunately, but you could check with Premier Protein, http://www.premierprotein.com/. Good luck!
