Premier Protein review & giveaway

Posted Oct 23 2012 7:00am

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Premier Protein , asking if I would like to try a sample pack of their protein products.   New to the no-meat world (hey, did I mention that yet?) I’m always down for alternative sources of protein. 
Premier Protein sent me an awesome sample pack with three different flavors of bars and chocolate and vanilla pre-made shakes.  I’m not a fan of peanuts or peanut butter, which as I mentioned in a review last week, seems to be a staple in protein products.  So I was able to sample the Double Chocolate Crunch bar, but left the taste testing of the rest of the products up to Geoff.

The stats: 
Bars:
 280-290 calories per bar
 6-8 g fat
25-26 g carbohydrates
30 g protein
8-10 g sugar Shakes:
160 calories
3 g fat
5 g carbohydrates
30 g protein
1 g sugar
The Review:

Bars-



 

Heather: For a bar, I find this to be really high in, well, all of the above nutritional stats. Lots of calories, carbs, and protein for a "bar".  Ideal for some, depending on how hard you are working out, but really heavy, in my opinion, for what i look for in a protein bar.   It was really tasty, but I had a hard time finishing the entire thing as I just felt really FULL.   This would be great as more of a meal replacement or for someone who requires SERIOUS recovery in the form of calories and protein post workout. 

Geoff: liked them until he realized that gelatin was listed in the ingredients.  Gelatin = animal product = big no-no for this long time vegetarian.  Just an FYI for my other veggie friends.

Shakes:
- 6 Premier Protein meal replacement bars: 2 bars in each flavor (Chocolate Peanut Butter, Double Chocolate Crunch and Yogurt Peanut Butter Crunch)

- 4 Premier Protein shakes: 2 shakes in each flavor (chocolate and vanilla)

- Premier Protein nylon bag To enter, use this rafflecopter thingy below.  Comment once for one entry, and tweet once per day for more entries.   I'll be honest, I've never used rafflecopter before. Yeah I'm behind the times in the whole blog world, please forgive me. Here's hoping it works!  Contest ends at 12:01 am on October 31st (because that's my day off, so I can blog, ha!) and winners will be notified in a blog post (BE SURE TO CHECK BACK!) .  Winners will have product shipped directly from Premier Protein.
GOOD LUCK!!
