Premier Protein Shake review

Premier Protein is a protein shake first, but its numbers make it a reasonable light meal on a busy morning. Each bottle lists 30 grams of protein, 160 calories, 24 vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, calcium and zinc, and 1 gram of sugar with no added sugar. Premier Protein says the protein keeps you feeling fuller, longer, and its Café Latte flavor adds as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, so it can stand in for both breakfast and the first coffee. The flavor range is wide, with options such as cake batter, cookies and cream and peaches and cream, in 11 oz and 11.5 oz bottles. The limits: 160 calories will not carry most adults through a long afternoon, the shake is milk-based, and premierprotein.com sends buyers to retailers through a Buy Now button, so we could not confirm a price on its own pages. If you want a shake that is built as a full meal, Soylent or Huel fits better.
