This is one of my favorite drinks now we drink this every day for breakfast. It has low carbs. It has protein in it so it fills you up so you don’t need to eat you don’t need to eat any food because it’s already got the vitamins and the best thing about it is is great if you trying to keep your carbs down and it is a great flavor and I love the variety of flavors they offer. This is one of my favorites because you can’t actually add real espresso or coffee into it if you want if you like now the great thing about it is it. It’s a lot of different like sizes, but here’s the thing it felt like they changed the amount that they give you because before it was a little bit more so I would say to get the shorter bottles that’s wider than get the tall ones but either way it’s a great product they it seems like they’ve kept the quality up as well so I think it’s pretty good and I love the texture of it. The drink is not heavy. It’s very light and it’s it’s good on the pallet so I will say it’s a good product and if you don’t wanna drink no sugar and you need something that feels you up during a workout or for a meal replacement is a great tool. Also late at night if you get really hungry and you don’t wanna eat nothing drink this protein shake, and it will help you go to sleep so I will say it’s a great thing to eat if you don’t want to eat a large meal.

[BEFORE SHAKING, clean any "slime" from inside the neck and cap..*][UPDATE: Costs. 03/17/25I agree these are expensive, but so are most others. My cost when I started 3+ yrs ago was about $24/12, now it is $32/12. I have noticed varying prices, but I did discover the paper cartons are cheaper. I opted for one that said $23+/-... it ended being $25, but it's still a savings.]* * *I am an elderly woman who is suffering from kidney and heart issues. I don't have much appetite, so also losing muscle like crazy. I am looking like all those other wrinkly, skinny old people I said I wouldn't. So my doctor said high protein shakes. Okay.I started researching. Because of price and ratings I started with a couple 4-pks of Premier from a local grocery outlet. Cafe latte... Yum! Then I went to Amazon to get regular deliveries because I no longer drive. Read lots of reviews. I noticed some mentions of outlets besides Amazon. I also noticed a link to 'Premier Store'. Given the bad reviews re slime and expiration dates, I carefully made sure I wasn't ordering through an outside source. Don't know if that actually helped, but I have had very few of those issues in the past 3+ years. **Although, to make sure on the slime, I open a bottle before shaking and check inside the neck and cap, to wipe out if needed. Then re-cap and shake, shake, shake. One could also pour through a fine/tea strainer.**Besides Cafe Latte, I have tasted Peaches and Cream, Vanilla, and Strawberries and Cream. None of these are strong flavored, but I can taste the chocolate and coffee in my favorite. The Vanilla is refreshing, as is the Peaches and Cream (which has a delicate peach flavor). The Strawberries and Cream is cooling and not untasty, just not much flavor. And I have added Bananas and Cream, which is also nice but mild.One more issue: digestion. Some people's innards don't like the soy and/or the lactose. Others are more forgiving. I get some bloat but the benefit I receive outweighs any mild discomfort. Just because some people can't tolerate this product doesn't mean it's bad.My last note...lead. Lead is bad. But I have been around lead for many decades, from leaded gasoline polluting roadside blackberries (oh, no!) to lead in paint for all kinds of things. It hasn't had much impact on me (that I know of) and I am not giving these to anyone else, so, in the meantime, whatever life I have left will not be spent worrying about it. Granted, you younger people and children do need to be cautious.Ain't it fun?UPDATE: 23 Oct 20231. To start, the shakes I get are shipped in thick, heavy-duty boxes in which the bottles are closely and firmly packed and the company name and other pertinent info is printed on the outside. If yours isn't it is likely from an outside vendor, with issues such as expiry dates and improper storage, not to mention higher prices.2. Regarding the slime and stomach issues, they appear to be caused by the same "problem"--- the protein. While some flavors have two types of condensed (is that the word I want?) milk proteins combined, many also have soy. The proteins sometimes separate a bit causing the slime. My suggestion above still holds.And, I'm sorry to say, the stomach issues are also caused by the milk proteins and lactose. Over 60% of Americans suffer from some level of lactose intolerance (not allergy); an individual's level of intolerance will determine how bad you feel. Oh swell!Finally, recycling the bottles: Rinse and zip off the cover which is discarded. Done. BUT if you live in either Oregon (me) or Maine you have the option to redeem the bottles for 10 cents or 5 cents, respectively, if the portion of the cover stating so is still attached. Granted it's not a lot, but it builds....the choice is yours.( I am drinking 2-3 daily, so I am donating my $$ to our residential park's FEMA -sponsered CERT program to buy disaster supplies. [Oregon is in the middle of the Cascadia Subduction Zone --northern CA to Vancouver Island BC-- inevitable massive (9+/-) off shore earthquake. When, not if.]),Now I'm done! Have a healthy life.

Somewhere between a gym rat's dream and a caffeine addict’s backup plan lives this protein shake. It's got the muscle-building power of 30 grams of protein and just enough café latte flavor to trick your brain into thinking you're being fancy. The taste is surprisingly smooth, less like punishment and more like dessert with an agenda. And yes, it does taste like coffee... in that “just got it from a vending machine and it’s oddly satisfying” kind of way. Cafe Latte and Chocolate are my two favorites without a doubt! :DThis shake does the job if the job is protein delivery with a caffeine-fueled slap to the face. The 120mg of caffeine definitely makes mornings more tolerable—or more chaotic, depending on your threshold for heart palpitations. It’s shelf-stable, which is code for “lives in your desk drawer until it’s an emergency breakfast.” Pop it in the fridge overnight and it turns into a glorified iced coffee with protein dreams.The bottle is sturdy, spill-resistant, and easy to chuck in a gym bag or toss at a roommate who "forgot" to buy groceries. No blending, no mess, no excuses. Just open, chug, and pretend your life is together. But let’s be honest, no one drinks protein shakes for fun. We drink them because we fear aging and our metabolism has retired. The ingredients are balanced, but can lead to jitters for some, but have no doubt about how effective the formula is.... It can pump you up!As for the downsides? The artificial sweetener leaves a bit of an aftertaste, like a diet soda that studied abroad in Wheyland. And while the caffeine is great in theory, stacking one of these on top of your regular espresso routine might send your eyeballs into orbit. Not a full meal, but a good snack or meal accessory. Still, for convenience, taste, and that sweet, sweet 30g hit, it earns a solid spot in the rotation. :D👍 Good Things:High protein without tasting like gym socksTastes like coffee and slightly like ambitionSturdy, portable designShelf-stable and no prep needed👎 Bad Things:Artificial sweetener flavor overstays its welcomeNot a real meal replacement on its ownCaffeine plus coffee equals possible internal tremorsMight be pricey if you develop a daily habit

I needed a protein boost after surgery and decided to try the Premier Protein Café Latte shakes. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised! The flavor is fantastic – it actually tastes like a café latte, not that artificial protein taste you sometimes get.What I really appreciate is the 30g of protein per shake. It definitely helped me feel fuller for longer and kept me on track with my recovery goals. Plus, the added vitamins and minerals are a nice bonus. It felt like I was getting a little extra nutritional support when I needed it most.Honestly, it was more like a treat than a chore to drink these. If you're looking for a convenient and tasty way to up your protein intake, especially if you're watching your sugar, I highly recommend giving these a try. They've become a staple in my routine!

This is one of my favorite flavors of Premier.The macros on it are great, doesn't upset my stomach at all, and has that little caffeine kick.The only thing is, because it is in a plastic bottle, there can sometimes be consistency issues with the beverage.Like a lot of people have reported under this and other flavors, there is a stringy-like thing sometimes that's ran into while drinking this, and I've experienced it as well. That's normal, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with it, its just from the drink settling at the top of the bottle after its been bottled. The texture of it is like gelatin, I've consumed it without any issues. Most of the time it will dissolve into the drink if you drink around it, and then shake the bottle up some more to allow it some help to break up.These last a long time as well. They do have a BBD on them, but I like to stock up and sometimes overstock up, so I still drink them a couple months past their BBD and have zero issues with taste, consistency, no adverse issues, they're stored in a cool dry place so I think that has helped to make the products last longer for me.

I love these drinks. It’s such a great substitute for a meal. And the bonus is that it tastes really good. I always get the Cafe Latte as it’s the best. We never run out and Amazon prices are very fair. Thanks Amazon.

This is the Premier Protein Shake, Café Latte flavor. I've bought it repeatedly, and I always buy the 12-packs.Major plus points for me:* 30g Protein. One of the highest protein amounts you can get in a prepared shake for a decent enough price.* Only 1 gram of total sugar and 0 added sugars while also low-fat with only 3 grams fat, 1 gram of that being saturated. Often when something is advertised as low carb/sugar, it will have extra fat and low-fat usually means more added sugars because companies do this to improve/balance taste. This product is low on both and thus, makes a great meal replacement if you'd like to lose weight or stay lean while also tasting fantastic.* Each container is 11 oz/325 ml, which is also the recommended serving size, and this protein shake provides a great protein to weight ratio at only 160 calories per serving.* Again, great taste, both chilled and at room temperature -- hear me out 😅. I suffer from chronic pain in my joints and it takes a while for my pain killers to kick in -- but I want my coffee/caffeine sooner than that. My fridge is downstairs and stairs are hard on me, first thing in the morning. Most of these protein shakes do not taste the same when at room temperature. This one DOES! It's as sweet as you'd expect from a Mocha and smooth as any coffee from your local coffee shop (not grainy or mealy at all). So, I don't have to keep it in the fridge and avoid extra pain that would come with retrieving it from downstairs.* One serving/container has the same caffeine that would be in a cup of coffee -- perfect as I drink it within 30 mins of waking up, rather than just coffee.* It has 24 vitamins and minerals, which makes me worry a bit less about taking vitamins separately (a quarter of daily recommended amounts) and adds to this protein shake's nutritional value.* This is a gluten-free product if you can trust the labeling.* SNAP/EBT-eligible item.Downsides:* Allergens: milk, soy* Potentially problematic ingredients:The shake has artificial flavoring, high oleic sunflower/soybean oils, phosphates used as preservatives, inulin, and sucralose. So if you want to avoid any of there, you might want to choose a different product.* Price: All proteins have become so expensive, it's difficult to find a good product that hits all the healthy points without problem ingredients. With this as with similar protein shakes, I sometimes have to skip my purchase or switch to another brand sometimes because I have a fixed budget.Overall:One of the better protein products out there. True high protein, low carb AND low-fat. Gluten-free. Great taste and texture/consistency. A lot of benefits. Price could be better but this is also SNAP/EBT-eligible, which is a plus. There are some questionable ingredients but they're also in the majority of high-protein products, in general. The shake does contain the known allergens milk and soy, so IF you're allergic to either, do NOT buy this. Other than that, great product and highly recommended.

I drink one of these every day to help me reach my protein goals and get a little caffeine boost for work and school. It’s smooth with no chunks, and it tastes like a sweet, creamy coffee you’d get at a café.I recently started adding chocolate caramel syrup and a little whipped cream to make it feel extra cute — it honestly feels like a treat instead of a “protein shake.”I’m currently on a weight loss journey and have lost 120 lbs, and protein shakes like this have really helped with satiety and steady energy. Having something easy, consistent, and high in protein makes staying on track feel manageable.I’ll definitely keep purchasing - there’s a bigger discount if you buy more than one pack, which makes it worth it for me. I’ve even sent this to friends because I genuinely appreciate it and want the people I love to feel supported in their health goals too.

I could not tolerate the taste, it's awfully synthetic and does not resemble coffeer at all.They ended up in the trash bin, the whole 12 pack.

Great when served really cold. Curbs my appetite for hours. Great Low Cal Protein Shake.

Got the chocolate instead of the caffe latte. Hopefully doesn’t happen again.

Delicious

Tastes too sweet . Don’t think I will buy again
