CHUNKY SHAKES!!!

GRRRR!
I have been getting chunks in my premier protein shakes! I can tell it is the powdered protein not being mixed up well enough but it is DISGUSTING! I have 4 cases of shakes and have opened all of them, trying shakes from each box. All have chunks! When one hits my mouth it takes everything I have not to vomit!
I am going to see if I can return them even though they are opened, but I am so irritated with this!
I still can't hit my protein goals without a shake. I tried again this weekend.
I drink a shake every day for breakfast, and now switching back to the powder and making my own.
I hope I don't have to throw all these shakes away, but I cannot keep trying to drink them.

Has anyone else had this happen recently?

Yes this happened to me. It isn't consistent with the shakes I get except for the pumpkin spice case I got. Once I get a string it takes everything I have to finish it. I'm not a fan of the pumpkin spice so I'm having a hard time getting those down. I am like you and have a shake for breakfast every day and a protein water at two.
 
I have tried the ensure max chocolate. It was easier to get through than the premier protein chocolate. My next experiment will be unjury protein powder mixed with fair life 1% milk. I'm trying things now to see what I like for after my surgery. I tried Premier protein water. Hated the smell and taste. I gave it away to a friend who's getting the bypass just before me. She's able to tolerate it. I've noticed some hit or miss with things I've tried.

Has anyone tried protien2o water? Also what flavors are your chunky premier protein shakes? Is a single serve blender ok to use?
 
Try the fair life protein shakes. The chocolate taste just like chocolate milk. No weird powder taste, they are very good.

I have used Protein 2o and liked them quite a bit. Keep in mind that there are only 15g of protein per 20oz bottle. It can be very difficult to get 60+ grams of protein using those. The hospital used Isopure zero carb, so that is what I used at home. They do sell it pre-made , 40g per 20 oz bottle, which is what I used. When my husband had his surgery, GNC was no longer carrying the bottles and they are like $90 for 12 on Amazon, so I bought the Isopure Infusion powder in tropical punch and used an extra scoop so.he could meet his protein needs (80)

I use Unjury powder too, I have tried a lot of them and I think it is the best one.
I also mix it in a personal blender cup. I think it makes it smoother than a shaker bottle.

I actually don't prefer the chocolate fairlife shakes, but I do like other fairlife flavors. The problem is I can't find them around me ever! I have a BJs card and they are always out. My FIL has a Sams club and they only ever have Chocolate. I was ordering them on Amazon, but I was paying 2/3 times MORE than the normal price so I stopped.
I wish I could find them though, I LOVE the strawberry and the caramel is great mixed with a little cold coffee like a Ice Caramel Latte.
 
I don't like chunky shakes (I don't like chunks in yogurt UNLESS it's like the parfait from Chic-fil-a) but I do LOVE thick ones like milkshakes! I prefer to make my own. I buy protein powder and make all kinds of shakes. I love Herbalife PDM. I like to get freaky with my shakes - like girl scout thin mint shake - butterfinger shake - chocolate cake batter my personal favorite - reeses shake - lemon pound cake shake - orange dream shake.
 
Oooh, speaking of girl scout flavors ..
Coconut extract with a splash of caramel sugar free syrup (I use Jordan's Skinny Syrups) in a chocolate shake (or in a cup of coffee) tastes like a Samoa.

I always made my own shakes using Elevate protein powder from Aldi. I did not like any protein shake well enough to just drink 'em . I liked to blend them with ice and doctor them up. Sugar free water flavoring packets make great shake additions.

Add an A&W root beer to vanilla shake= Root beer float
Great Value Tropical, rum extract, vanilla shake = Pina Colada.
Orange to Vanilla = Dreamsicle
Mint extract to Chocolate
1/2 frozen Banana to Chocolate .. Does anyone remember the cocoa banana bomb pops? Yum

Those were our favs, but any water flavoring can work.
 
I keep wanting to make my own shakes but can't do it. haha
I HATE loud sounds in the morning, it is weird. I have extremely sensitive hearing when I am tired or just waking up.
The best I have is SF lemonade with strawberry protein powder makes a strawberry lemonade and it delicious but sometimes too tart for the morning.
