Premier Protein Shakes

Hi everyone, I hear people talking a lot about how they like Premier protein shakes. I can't find anywhere that has them to trial, you have to buy the whole case. Considering I have tried about 7 different kinds and not liked any of them I don't want to spend that kinda money. I went to Popeye's and they let me try a few kinds of whey protein isolate shakes but I didn't like any of them and no Premier. I tried www.vitalady.com they do not have Premier that I seen, although I did purchase a couple of their starter packs to try. I also purchased some sample packs from Unjury to try as well but still looking for Premier. Costco has them but where I live it's only in chocolate right now and by the case no trial size uugghh. I sent Premier an e-mail and was told I could get them at Walmart but that must be in the US because I have been to several Walmarts here in Ontario around my area (Peterborough, Belleville, Trenton) and I can't find them and Premier doesn't sell trial samples on-line so I was told by the person *****sponded to my e-mail. I just want to try their chocolate, vanilla and strawberries & cream. I know protein is very important post-op that is why I'm trying to see what kinds I at least tolerate and maybe even like a little before hand so I have an idea where to start after surgery. I know my tastes may and probably will change but at least I'll have a starting point to work from versus having no clue. Any idea's would be fabulous, I live in a pretty rural area but I do travel to Toronto a couple times a month. Thank you

Have only ever seen them at costco by the case. And I don't believe they sell the strawberry here in Canada. Sorry, no help.

Ya Costco and Sam's club are the only places. Sam's is in the states. I think all Costco's sell Chocolate and some vanilla but no strawberry in Canada yet. I would love to try the Strawberry. I really like the chocolate but not the vanilla so much. You can pick up a case of 18 for $26.99.

After my experience at Popeyes I was very hesitant to try anymore because they smelled so bad and tasted just as bad but I got brave and tried the Pure Protein Ready to Drink shakes just now and they were tolerable. I tried Strawberries & Cream, Vanilla and Chocolate. The ranked then 1. Chocolate 2. Strawberry 3. Vanilla all were tolerable and didn't have that awful smell woohoo progress :-)

Costco, and you can return no problem if you don't like them. I have returned both chocolate and vanilla.

Keep your eyes open for them. I have seen individual shakes for sale in convenience stores. My gym (Good Life) even sells them next to the water and gatorade.

I make my own buying Whey Protein powder adding my own cocoa, frozen fruit and milk. Put them in bottles in my fridge, better tasting cuz u do it yourself and add what u want. Way cheaper too.

The smell of most protein powders is gross in my opinion.  The best thing to do is get a cup with a lid that you can't smell the protein.  I have one from Popeye's that has a shaker ball in it and I use it for every shake I drink so I don't smell the protein.  I did try the premier from costco and didn't like them so I just returned the case minus one.  It was not problem to get a refund.  My favourite protein shake is the syntrax nectar roadside lemonade.  I couldn't do the creamy shakes after surgery.  Good luck finding one you like.
