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…

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!

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.

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…

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!
