Premier Protein Shakes and Bars Review and Giveaway

Note from Rockgrrl: I was offered some protein bars and shakes to try out from folks representing Premier Protein. I emailed back to accept their offer of free product but one small issue occurred after I talked to them a bit… the protein they use is mainly based on milk whey, and I’ve recently found that I’ve become slightly lactose intolerant, so I told them and they said that anyone with milk allergies should avoid their product. While I’m not allergic to milk, I still decided to let them know that I would have my husband, Kelly, try it instead.

What did you think of the shakes?
How did they compare to other shakes you had?
Tasted similar to powdered mixes I have used in the past, but better blended (not lumpy).

I think you had one before we did East Buttress [East Buttress of Middle Cathedral, Yosemite, California], did you notice anyÂ effect after having it?

It made for a nice on the go breakfast to facilitate an alpine start. Â Helps with prehydration, and also good for the protein component of your post-exercise recovery drink.

What did you think of the bars?
The taste reminds me a bit of the Tiger bars which I grew up loving, with a crunchier texture and not as dense.

Anything else?
What sets the drinks apart from the powdered protein I have used in the past is the convenient packaging. Â Â This is valuable Â when time is of the essence but I try to avoid individual packaging in regular consumption to minimize my garbage “footprint”.
