I've just moved back to Canada after spending a decade state-side. This was little more than a month after FINALLY finding a brand of Protein supplement that I actually enjoyed after my tastes were all thrown off post-surgery. Naturally this brand is not available in Canada, either for purchase or shipping, so I now have to start my search all over again.

I'm in southern Ontario and found a GNC at a mall where I bought a couple of tubs of Total Lean 25 (which I'd used pre-surgery) to hold me over until I can find something I like better. The carbs are too high to really be my go-to, and quite frankly they don't taste as nice as the US versions did, so I'm definitely still on the hunt.

What are the big nutrition stores here where people get their protein supplements? All I know are GNC, and a friend mentioned Popeye's, which I have yet to check out. Does anyone know of anywhere that either sells or gives sample sizes of a variety of brands? Any good online resources I should know about?

Thanks!

costco and Walmart carry some, but I buy mine online at vitacost. There are Canadian online companies that also carry Protein powders. Lowcarbcanada and thelowcarbgrocery, for example.

costco carries Premier Protein in chocolate and vanilla. Both are good. I blend them with small amounts of fruit and ice. Yum!

How is Isopure??? Any feedback?

Premier is a good one and if yur looking for something along the lines of juice nectar is good as well and offers lots of flavors... I'm using Fuzzy Navel right now and it's delicious. Amazon and Vitamin Shoppe has it!!

I am not a fan of Isopure, I drunk 2 of them the night before my surgery because yur not allowed anything after surgery until yur leak test (well atleast I wasn't) so that held me over. But the taste is very acquired... very strange after taste but good source of protein
