I've been working out for a while and most consistently this past year and a half. My boyfriend has too, and we are pretty seasoned in protein powders. Out of everything we have tried (ghost, syntha6, orgain, small brands, etc.) this one is the winner BY FAR. It tastes exactly like vanilla ice cream (my favorite flavor anyways...) and has one of the best calorie per gram of protein ratios ever. It's also a really great price for 29 servings. It mixes and blends pretty well, but powders will always foam up a little when you first mix them. The ingredients list is super simple and doesn't have a ton of filler like other brands do which is a major pro of mine. My stomach doesn't hurt after drinking it and I'm an asian woman with a crazy overreactive stomach. The only step up from this would be their premade shakes! Read more
This vanilla protein powder is one of the smoothest I’ve used. It mixes easily without clumps, even just shaking it in a bottle. The flavor is actually good and not overly sweet, and it works well in smoothies or just with almond milk. Great for a quick breakfast or post-workout. Pros: – Smooth and easy to mix – Good vanilla flavor – High protein per serving – Works well in shakes or baking Cons: – Scoop is buried sometimes – Can be a little sweet depending on what you mix it with Read more
Premier Protein Café Latte is hands down one of the best protein shakes I’ve tried. The flavor is smooth, creamy, and tastes just like a thicker sweetened iced coffee. No chalky aftertaste at all. It’s perfect for mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up, especially since it has caffeine for an extra boost. It’s filling, satisfying, and easy on the stomach. If you love coffee and want a convenient way to get protein in, this flavor is a good staple. Mix with alittle creamer of your choice (pumpkin) and then your milk/water and pour over ice 👍 Read more
Good protein powder, mixes well. Has a good light coffee taste. However I wasn’t aware this protein powder had caffeine, I wasn’t aware any protein powder had caffeine, I usually use a preworkout which is already caffeinated so I’ll need to watch my total caffeine consumption but overall I’d recommend this product.

Yes- the math is great- 30g of protein, 1g of sugar, 2g fat, 150 calories per serving (2 scoops). And yes, there are similar products with similar nutritional metrics, but I go for Premier Protein for several reasons: 1. Cost. $.93/ounce is highly competitive, despite mainstream product overhead and really nice packaging. Premier Protein is significantly cheaper than Dymatize ISO100 at $1.55/ounce, Optimum Nutrition at $1.37/ounce, and many other similar brands that check some of the same boxes. 2. Consistency. I have consumed in excess of 20 pounds over the past few years. Every tub has the same consistency, same quantity (irritatingly underfilled like ALL of these products), and tastes exactly the same (see 3.). 3. Taste. The Chocolate Milkshake flavor is aaahhhhhhmazing! My shakes taste like regular chocolate shakes- rich, creamy, flavorful with NO chemical bite or off putting whey overtones. (My delicious macro-bomb recipe is below.) 4. Fill-factor. After a 32 oz shake I feel full. Yes- Boyle's law holds and pressure is directly correlated to volume. However, the full feeling lingers for many hours. I have NOT had the same prolonged satiation with other protein powder options. 5. Results/Performance. I am not a nutritional expert, trainer, fitness model, body builder, or beach ego-manic. I'm a regular, middle-aged guy who is in pretty good shape and wants to stay that way. I refuse to lose tone, strength, and mass without a fight. So... after a recent back surgery and a desire to rebuild size and strength efficiently, I changed my daily workouts and my daily nutrition that now includes a midday shake- one per day, every day. I have experienced noticeable gains in muscle size and density as well as strength- particularly big muscle groups in shoulders, back, and legs (sorry- no pictures! ;) ). My 470 calorie / 56g protein shake recipe: -------------------------------------------------- Fill 32 ounce blender cup halfway with ice, then add: - 40g (2 scoops) of Premier Protein Chocolate Milkshake - 1 teaspoon of raw, unsweetened powdered cocoa - 3g of creatine monohydrate (if you add creatine, up your hydration- drink tons of water! Here's a link for a good option: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCCNKD73?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1) - 3g of marine collagen peptides (bovine collagen is arguably better with different macros if you can consume mammalian food products) - 1 large raw egg (appropriate cautions if you have concerns about raw foods) - 1 medium banana (optional, but I find it adds a tiny bit of sweetness and more creaminess) - 1/2 cup of skim milk (skip if dairy is an issue, but DO NOT substitute with nut/vegetable "milks." Shake will still be creamy)) - 2 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt (as above, skip if dairy is an issue) - pinch of Celtic salt if you want to neutralize some of the sweetness Top with cold water, blend and enjoy! Soooooooooo good. TIP: If you want some texture in your shake, try adding a tablespoon of bittersweet chocolate chips or cacao nibs before blending. Yes, it adds a few calories, but not enough to create a guilt-flog impulse! Read more
This protein is SO good! The vanilla flavor tastes like a creamy milkshake, it mixes super smooth, and keeps me full without feeling heavy. I love that it has 30g of protein with only 1g of sugar — clean and delicious. It’s my go-to for smoothies and post-workout. Totally worth it! Read more
