New Peeps Flavored Protein Powder For Spring
It’s Easter week and Peeps, those famous marshmallow chicks and bunnies are everywhere. Including the health food stores. Check out this new Peeps flavored protein powder for spring. It’s by the folks at BodyTech and it is exclusive to The Vitamin Shoppe.
They sent me some to try this week and I could not resist. I have the Chocolate Marshmallow flavor. I put one scoop into my smoothie mixer. Then added about eight ounces of cold water and couple of ice cubes. The texture was smooth and silky. The flavor sweet and chocolaty. I had to check the nutrition because it tasted almost too good to be true. But it has no carbs or sugar and 50 grams of protein. Not bad. In addition, it went great with my cup of coffee.
About the Peeps flavored protein powder
Besides chocolate marshmallow, the whey protein isolate Peeps flavors also include regular marshmallow and vanilla. They were just released. However, they don’t disappear immediately after Easter. The Peeps flavors will be in The Vitamin Shoppe through June.
They come in sizes of 1 1/2 pounds and 3 pounds. You can find the powder in the brick and mortar stores or you can have it shipped to your home. Prices are $39.99 and $64.99 respectively.

Fort Myers Farmer's Market Finds, Kombucha
Fort Myers Farmer’s Market finds, Kombucha that doesn’t make your entire face pucker up. I found this booth yesterday at the Lake’s Regional Park Farmer’s Market in Fort Myers, however, I’ve heard about this brand for some time now.
Flying Kombucha is made locally and is different from any other I’ve tried. I admit having a love/hate relationship with this fermented beverage. Sometimes, it is so tart and sour I can only muster a few sips. But not this one. It is actually mild and very well balanced. It’s a formula that owner told me sets them apart and has brought great success.
What is kombucha
Kombucha is a fizzy, fermented tea based beverage that is said to have a laundry list of health benefits. Everything from improved gut health to better sleep and even the prevention of hair loss.
Currently, Flying Eagle does not have their own tap room. However, they are working on it. The good news is that the beverage is distributed so you can find them in many local stores. They also take their draft cart to several farmer’s markets. This is where you can sample the flavors right from the tap. They even sell growlers, like those found in brewery taprooms. Fill them up and take them to go, While there are some flavor staples like Lemon Lavender and Blueberry Cuban Oregano, Flying Eagle also has seasonal blends. Try it. I think you might like it.
An update about those amazing pierogis and Hungarian food that was featured in one of my former Fabulous finds. The owner is relocating and will be leaving Southwest Florida. So if you are a fan, track her market appearances down and stock up on her cabbage rolls, soups and pierogis before they are no long available. You can freeze them. AND, this bread is amazing with the soups.
In the meantime, here are some photos from my Fort Myers Farmer’s Market finds, kombucha from Flying Eagle
