New Kirkland protein shakes may be sold at Costco Canada near you for a great price
Looking to up your protein intake but want to save on the grocery bill? New Kirkland-brand protein shakes could be sold at a Costco Canada near you for a good deal.
In October, someone shared photos of the new Kirkland shakes containing 30 grams of protein on the subreddit Costco Canada. They come in a pack of 18, contain 160 calories and 1 gram of sugar.
“They are limited the release for the first month or so because of production, so if you try it, you see it get it. [It’s] only showing up in some warehouses. In about 2 months, it’s everywhere!!” reads the post by Redditor Cheap_Garbage_7654.

So far, the Kirkland protein shakes are not available on the Costco Canada website, but several Canadians have posted online about finding them in-store.
One shopper found the new item at a Costco in Winnipeg back in October and shared it on Facebook.
“Taste-wise, compared to Fairlife/Premier Protein, I find the Kirkland brand less chocolatey. But for the price, it’s not bad compared to paying $42.99 for the other brands lol. And similar macros too,” they wrote.
The Kirkland protein shake is being sold for almost $20 less than its main competitor, Fairlife, which goes for $46.99 for a pack of 18. Another competitor, Premier Protein, is priced at $47.99 for a pack of 18 cartons.
“Not only are the macros really really good, these are only US$22 for an 18 pack compared to basically US$30 for Fairlife,” commented one TikToker. “If these taste good enough…that’s unreal. I definitely think they’re going to disrupt the market.”

Some Canadians have already shared reviews on the Kirkland protein shake.
“It’s less smooth, and you taste the artificial sweetness more. Maybe a 7/10 vs a Fairlife’s 10/10,” reads one comment on Reddit.
Others complained about the Kirkland shake containing “garbage” ingredients.
“F**k, why do they have canola oil? I don’t want or need oil in my protein shakes; the milk fat is sufficient,” reads another comment.
Others echoed that sentiment, disappointed by the “artificial sweeteners” in the drink.
