Fruity Protein drink at Shoppers?

Hey guys,

I was in Shoppers today and saw a protein drink that is supposed to taste fruity (I think it was mango or peach....)

I am not a fan of the chocolate or vanilla shakes ( I was on a really long liquid diet due to complications after getting the Band), and would love to try something new.  I just didn't want to drop $25 bucks on it.

Has anyone tried this?  Or any other non choc/vanilla protein drink?

I have also seen some people recommend protein drinks rather than Boost for the first post-op period... any suggestions?  I know Boost is recommended, but would love some personal opinions about other products.

Thanks!

The mango splash at Shoppers was one of the recommended choices in our nutrition class in Ottawa. I haven't tried it myself. I did have the premier chocolate shake from Costco today. I'm not a chocolate fan, but it was good.

If you're talking about the Weider's Fruit Splash, mango peach is awesome, but I haven't tried the pineapple.

The Wieder's mango peach is the best I've found so far.  90 calories and 20 g protein per scoop, mixed with water.  I'd love to try the pineapple flavour but haven't found it anywhere.

I have looked for this at Shoppers and didn't find it. A friend said they also sell it at Costco.

I have never tried the one at Shopper's.  I really like a fruity protein drink I buy at Popeye's called Forever Fit.  It comes in mango, strawberry kiwi and I am not sure what else.  It doesn't not get thick like other protein shakes, it tastes like juice (even my kids like it).  It is pricy, I think around $45 dollars for a tub, but if you don't like it, they will take it back or extend you a credit.  In additiion, Popeye's offers some cash back like Canadian Tire, I think I get $2 worth when I buy the Forever Fit.

I love Weider's Fruit Splash, mango peach ... i have found it at Shoppers... and at Walmart... when you find it.. buy a few... its really good.. and they might not have it next time you go in!

Just had the bariatric class at HRRH and pretty sure the dietitian specifically said not to use Boost post surgery as it is a meal replacement and not a protein supplement. 

I'll be looking for the mango peach, that sounds amazing!

Some centres have their patients on diabetic Boost after surgery - Humber, thankfully, does not and recommends a high protein, low sugar/carb protein shake.

i have tried it have some in my cabinet....its good I even add a crystal light to it tastes good i like it on hot days quenches your thrist instead of a heavy milk protein
