Keep Your Energy Up Throughout the Day with Premier Protein #PremierProtein #ad
Thanks to Premier Protein and Fitfluential for sponsoring this post. As always, opinions are my own.
New year, new me. Right? Great, except I still have a morning routine to perfect and getting two children out of the house by 7:15 is no easy task. Many days I’m rushing out the door and I tend to drink my breakfast – some sort of protein shake. Bonus is when I don’t have to make the shake. Another bonus is when the pre-made shake tastes good. Enter Premier Protein® Bananas & Cream.
I opt for shakes for breakfast during the week because they can be quick and I can pack nutrition I need into the drink. It’s also easy for me to drink during my 30 minute drive to work. Extra protein ensures I am not snacking all morning. The Bananas & Cream shakes from Premier Protein have 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar! I’ve been trying these and alternating them with my normal shakes and I was surprised that the 11 ounce drink can keep me full until I’ve completed my lunch workout. That’s right, I don’t feel the need to snack in the morning. I know I said that I prefer to have a protein shake to start my day but some people I know decide to eat a protein bar instead, (as they have slightly more time on their hands than I do). They don’t want to be spending too much money on their bars, so that’s why they buy these cheap protein bars instead which have the same effect as any other protein-based product.
And speaking of workouts, I’ve been getting 4 out of 5 weekday workouts done during my lunch hour. Since I’ve been on my run streak since the beginning of the year, I am definitely pushing myself a little bit harder during that hour. Some days I’m lifting weights, other days I’m just running or adding another form of cardio to the mix. Either way, it’s a good way to spend my lunch hour. I’m not always extra hungry when I get back to my office and the Premier Protein shakes are great to give me energy I need to power through my afternoon. I keep one of the Bananas & Cream shakes in my work refrigerator just in case.
Taste-wise, I was pleasantly surprised by this shake. It does taste like bananas, but the taste isn’t overpowering or super sweet. It’s just sweet enough. It’s thick, but doesn’t leave an aftertaste. I’m a fan of banana flavors, so this was right up my alley. I’m tempted to add ice and see I like it even better. I love banana milkshakes, and I think this would be PERFECT after a long run! Size-wise, they’re great for the office, in your car or a quick breakfast or snack when you’re at home.

What’s your favorite flavor of protein shake?
Look at those pretty pink shoes!!! Congrats on the run streak! This drink looks like a great options for on the go!
I love the pink shoes too 🙂 And I’m always looking for protein shakes with low sugar–hard to find! So thank you for this.
I think you’re speaking my language. For a long time I was free from my caffeine dependence. I’d love to get back there.
This looks like a great product. I have start working out again and this will be a great way for me to add some additional protein to my diet.
These shakes sounds perfect for crazy days and getting protein in!! Congrats on the run streak, sounds like you are off to a great start to the new year.
Getting enough protein is something I’ve been trying to work on! I like the idea of having an easy shake every now and then.
I haven’t tried this before but I sometimes have a hard time getting enough protein. Maybe I will add this to my list.
I love that these are so easy and portable. Plus I hate cleaning out my blender after making a protein shake.
I was eyeing this product the other day. Unsure of the taste, I didn’t purchase it. I think I’ll return to the store and grab some.
I like that there are different flavors besides chocolate and vanilla! That Bananas & Cream looks yummy!
I love protein shakes and drinks. I find they’re so filling but don’t make me bloat or feel overly full. I need to start running again so my body actually needs a lot of protein. Thanks for sharing! I’m curious to try out this product.
I’ve never had this brand of protein shake before. I normally stick with muscle milk, but they are so good to use when in need of a snack before a workout.
I am not into running but I could use that Protein drink to sustain me throughout my busy day. Brainstorming for creative content can be physically exhausting too! I will get a pack for my sister too. She recently had surgery and is recuperating. This protein drink would help her recover quick.
Protein is fuel! You need to always keep a good balance of protein throughout the day to get the best out of everything! Never saw or heard of these drinks before but they look great!
