Ultra Slim-Fast® has just introduced a line of
lactose-free powders and drinks, and is backing that up with a big coupon campaign.
The ads features two varieties, powdered Ultra Slim-Fast with Soy Protein
Water Mixable Shake,
in Chocolate Delite flavor, and a ready-to-drink can in Orange
Pineapple flavor.
Poking around on their web site
www.slim-fast.com I'm finding even more. There are two additional
flavors in the ready-to-drink, juice-based shake line: Orange-Strawberry-
Banana and Apple-Raspberry-Cranberry. (Yep, two flavors, not six.)
I also find a line called Ultra Slim-Fast Mixes With Fruit Juice,
which can be mixed with pineapple, apple or orange juice, although it's
not clear to me whether the powder itself is lactose free or not.
I couldn't find an e-mail address on the site, but you can submit questions
to Ask the Dietitian. There is a toll-free number at 877-375-4632.
