SubscribeThis isn’t the type of drink I’d normally purchase in the grocery store, but I couldn’t help myself since I see the company’s ads everywhere I turn. I decided to take the plunge and quickly share my thoughts.
I recently purchased a can of the “FRS Low-cal Peach Mango” (1 can = 11.5 oz.; non-carbonated) at a local Safeway grocery store, with a final price around $2.50 (regular price).
The can instructs you to shake well – and you definitely want to listen. The drink doesn’t have the consistency of water or Gatorade, it is quite a bit thicker. You also don’t want to try to drink it if the quercetin has settled, several FRS drinkers have told me in the past.
I’m not a fan of the peach mango flavor, It was a bit more bitter than what I was expecting. It does taste like a drink with a large amount of vitamins, but doesn’t taste like a typical “low-calorie” drink.
Some people looking to cut down on caffeine may be interested in FRS, as I’ve chatted with several heavy coffee drinkers who noted they began switching to FRS in the afternoon.
One can has 25 calories, 5g sugar, 7g carbs, 260% of daily vitamin C, 130% daily vitamin E, 130% Vitamin B12, and other vitamins and important nutrients the human body needs.
The can says customers should drink 2 to 3 servings per day. At ~$2.40 per can, paired with a taste I didn’t particularly enjoy, I don’t think I’m going to become a regular customer any time soon. If you take a daily multi-vitamin, the need for FRS seems to diminish even further.
If anyone at FRS is reading this: I like how you sponsor running, cycling and MMA Web sites, among others. Your banner ads promote your product, Lance’s face, and isn’t overly annoying and overbearing.
As noted, I paid for this review product.
