Boost Very High Calorie Strawberry Nutritional Drink – 22g Protein, 530 Nutrient Rich Calories, 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 24)

This drink has been a total game changer for me. FINALLY, a drink that has enough calories and the right nutrients for those who really need to gain weight. I’ve been underweight my entire life, and since it’s not a concern for most people, at best I’m told to drink Ensure (which I believe is maybe 210 calories at most for one drink, usually less) - and a four pack costs about the same price as a four pack of Boost with almost 3x the calories. I’m 5’5, and because of my small frame, the most I’ve ever weighed was 112 lbs (this was when I was eating all the time; the guy I had been dating then had an extremely athletic frame so could easily eat 4500 calories a day and still look healthy). But if I’m not in a relationship and there’s no one to make me eat, I simply don’t have an appetite - at least not to the point where I really want to bother with going out to get food (not that the city I’m in has any real options) or dealing with the hassle of making it. I do still have to eat SOMETHING (like a burrito) in the morning, or something at night. I can stay at about 93-95 lbs when I do that. If I actually have both breakfast and dinner, along with two of these drinks, I can get my weight to 100 (which looks more like 112; 112 looks like 125 lbs on my frame). My lowest weight has been 70, and no, I’ve never had an eating disorder. That’s just my lack of appetite, and my appetite tends to get worse when I’m dealing with trauma, which I’ve had too much of in the past two years. Too many life-devastating losses, too much pain to care about what I was planning on having for dinner next. This drink is a godsend for anyone who just needs help maintaining a healthy weight, someone who needs help gaining, someone who is dealing with dental work and not able or not comfortable with all foods. I’m so grateful for those who came up with it and I hope it stays around forever. Ensure was never enough, and any protein shake from the health food store was always too much (consuming a 1200+ calorie protein shake on an empty stomach while you’re very thin generally just results in getting very hot, nauseous, and sick). The strawberry is definitely the best flavor! The vanilla is okay, but not really a fan of the chocolate.

Great way to add calories to my High School son to gain weight for football. He didn't mind the taste and feels the Strawberry is the best flavor.

High quality! Received quickly. Excellent flavor!

After a Long time Illnesses , I lost a lot of Weight , I drink 2 a day to help maintain my weight . They are expensive but worth the price. Great Tasting too .

The flavor is good. However, it is very thick. If anyone has trouble swallowing very thick drinks, this very high calorie Boost is not a good choice.
