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.

I gave these to my father that was ill and had stopped eating. He loved them and asked for more! He said that the flavor was delicious!

High quality! Received quickly. Excellent flavor!

This product has helped me because I work at a fast-paced job prone to lose weight quickly .The texture is not bad , i dont mind thickness some people do. Smell is good , vanilla This product help me maintain my weight .I have a fast metabolism. I would recommend this for women, men and children but for the children don't give them as much as a adult would consume . When you do give it to them make sure that you cook them a good meal with vegetables too. My child like the strawberry but Vanilla is the best one

2017: My dad gained 10lbs in one month, taking these 2-3 times day with very small meals/ snacks in between if tolerated. He would take 3 a day if wasn't going to eat regular food or was only going to have a snack. He would take 2 if he was going to have a small lunch or dinner but had one first thing in the morning always. Since this is high in protein (22g) it's important to drink plenty of water . Did as expected and will continue to buy, just bought 3 cases for a second time. Grateful for the results. 6 year update(2024): Dad still drinks these have contributed to his continued weight gain (+30lbs) He’s had many complications after surgery but always tolerated liquids well and absolutely relied on these to sustain him. Now that he is on a full liquid diet we rely on these for majority of his nutrition and calorie intake. He is now drinking up to 3-4 daily equaling 1590-2120 calories daily, it’s the only shake on the market that is this calorie dense for the small 8oz of liquid which is perfect for Dad since he cannot tolerate large quantities anymore. We’ve subscribed for monthly deliveries. I have changed vendors a few times for pricing reasons but the product is the same. This has continued to be a Godsend for Dad. Forever grateful 💛🥹. (Although prices have increased some sellers are almost double this currently, and current prices are about double what they used to be, it’s my only complaint and the only reason I’d give 4 instead of 5 star in general, but this quite literally sustains my dads life for upwards of 6 years so I will continue to buy)

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 .

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.

I’ve ordered these shakes for years, and normally they are great. I have trouble maintaining weight and these are easy, fast, affordable, taste great, and calorie dense. Unfortunately lately the quality has taken a nose dive. Never had a single issue in 30+ orders until recently. 2 out of my 3 last orders have had to be disposed of. 1st one had weird clumps that I’ve never seen before. 3rd had a completely exploded shake. Not giving it a 1 star because the actual product is normally great, and hopefully these issues have been flukes.
