Note from Rockgrrl:<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Premier<\/a>What did you think of the shakes?
\nHow did they compare to other shakes you had?
\n<\/strong>Tasted similar to powdered mixes I have used in the past, but better blended (not lumpy).<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I think you had one before we did East Buttress [East Buttress of Middle Cathedral, Yosemite, California], did you notice any\u00c2\u00a0effect after having it?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It made for a nice on the go breakfast to facilitate an alpine start. \u00c2\u00a0 Helps with prehydration, and also good for the protein component of your post-exercise recovery drink.<\/div>\n
\n

What did you think of the bars?
\n<\/strong><\/span>The taste reminds me a bit of the Tiger bars which I grew up loving, with a crunchier texture and not as dense. <\/span><\/div>\n

Anything else?
\n<\/strong>What sets the drinks apart from the powdered protein I have used in the past is the convenient packaging. \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0This is valuable \u00c2\u00a0when time is of the essence but I try to avoid individual packaging in regular consumption to minimize my garbage “footprint”.
