A carton of Premier Nutrition High Protein Strawberry Shake has "30 grams of protein" displayed in big letters across the front of the packaging - and that alone was enough to get me to try it. When I further saw that there was only 160 calories and 1 gram of sugars in the 11 ounce container - well, I had to open this ready-to-drink shake immediately to see what the taste was like.

What I found was that this was pretty darn good. It's actually sweet - very sweet - and very creamy, like whole fat milk with some strawberry syrup added. This is actually now my new favorite protein shake - although I still heart you EAS Myoplex Lite Chocolate Fudge Protein Shake (Review), which I love, but Premier Nutrition High Protein Strawberry Shake not only tastes fantastic, but it has more protein, less calories and less sugars.
Each 11 ounce carton of Premier Nutrition High Protein Strawberry Shake provides 160 calories from 30 grams of protein, only 1 gram of sugars, 2 grams of fiber (6% of the daily value) and 3 grams of total fat, 1 gram of which is saturated fat (5% of the DV for both). There is also 25% of the DV for many vitamins and minerals.
According to the ingredients list, the protein blend is a mixture of milk protein (milk protein concentrate and milk protein isolate), calcium caseinate and whey protein concentrate. The sweeteners used are sucralose and acesulfame K.
I received samples of Premier Nutrition High Protein Strawberry Shake to consider for review, but it's available for purchase on the Premier Nutrition website at 4 for $7.99. I also saw it at Sam's Club - $17.58 for a 12 pack. At that price, it's certainly worth buying.
