With a focus on the nutrition and vitality of its customers, Performance Food Centers feels that every juice bar business should support a cause like Augie’s Quest.

The result is a delicious, Orange Creamsicle shake that will delight every smoothie juice bar customer. Featuring 100% crushed fruit, Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate and plenty of Vitamin C, Augie’s Shake is sure to please. Available in 900+ Performance Food Centers juice bars across the country, Augie’s Shake will be a perfect way to both recover from a hard workout and help others.
