Measure the powder before choosing the liquid
The inspected Vanilla Milkshake powder lists two scoops, 39 g, for 30 g protein and 150 calories. This is not the same serving as a bottled shake. Use the scoop and gram amount supplied for your product rather than assuming one scoop is always a full serving. [1]
Water, milk and smoothies make different drinks
Premier lists water, milk, fruit smoothies and baked goods as uses for its powders. Water adds no food energy; milk, fruit and other additions change the finished drink’s nutrition. Follow your container’s liquid instructions and adjust texture gradually rather than using a universal volume for every Premier product. [2][3]
Calculate the finished serving, not just the powder
Imagine blending a full powder serving with milk and a banana. The finished shake contains the nutrients from all three ingredients, not only the 150 calories printed for this powder. The inspected formula contains whey and milk ingredients, so mixing it with a plant drink does not make it dairy-free. [1][3]
| Question | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Water | Keeps additions minimal |
| Milk or fruit | Include their nutrition |
| Plant-based liquid | Does not remove milk from the powder |
