BOOST Very High Calorie Nutritional Drink – Helps Weight Gain & Maintenance - 530 Calories - 26 Vitamins & Minerals - 22 g Protein - Calorie-Dense Nutritional Drink - Chocolate - 8 fl oz (Pack of 24)

This drink is a great way to get extra calories and protein in a small bottle. It has 530 calories and 22g of protein, making it good for gaining weight or keeping energy up. The vanilla flavor is smooth and sweet, not too strong, and it’s easy to drink.The texture is thick but not too heavy, and it goes down easily. It’s packed with nutrients, so it helps if you need more nutrition in your diet. Whether for recovery, weight gain, or just an easy meal replacement, this is a solid choice.

My Dad has lost a lot of weight. His COPD causes him to have difficulty breathing after eating a whole meal. It’s more difficult for his lungs to expand when his stomach is full. These shakes pack a lot of calories in a relatively small volume. He likes the taste and texture, and is able to drink at least two shakes a day. He has not been weighed since starting the shakes, but he does look a lot healthier. It will be interesting to see how much weight he has gained when he goes to his next doctor’s appointment.The only downside is the price, which may not be realistically possible for everyone. But if it helps us to keep our Dad around a lot longer it’s well worth it. Seniors who are underweight have a more difficult time recovering from illnesses because they have less reserves, and those with underlying health conditions face an even higher risk. With the prevalence of so many contagious diseases, such as Covid, I want my Dad to have a fighting chance, and that is why I recommended this product to him, and to anyone else who needs to gain weight.

It’s drinkable! A bit thicker than whole milk. It’s sweet, but delivers the calories needed in a volume that is drinkable. I alternate adding strawberry syrup to give some variety to the flavor.

This is probably the most calorie dense drink out there. It packs 530 calories into 8 fl oz (237mL). It's certainly will make you feel full having essentially the same amount of calories as a full, hearty meal. The liquid itself is viscous. Probably more viscous than any other liquid you might conceivably consume. It also seems to have quite the assortment of vitamins in it, which is quite nice for supplementing your diet. This is especially true if the majority of what you consume is this drink as you would otherwise be depriving yourself of necessary vitamins and nutrients. So, speaking of the benefits, overall, I would say that it's quite satiating and does what it sets out to do. Now, that does come at a cost. At just over $50USD(at the time of writing this review, it's quite expensive. If you're like me, then your relatively light diet has been quite affordable, so this is quite the increase in my foodstuffs purchases. Secondly, it is absolutely vile. It tastes as if you're drinking cooking oil that had a chocolate bar sitting in it. I have to hold my breath while I drink it after which I chase it down with another beverage and then something to cleanse my palate. I repeat this about 2 or 3 more times before I finish it. It would not be an exaggeration to say that I have an easier time drinking liquor than drinking this. Though I suppose there is no way to squeeze 530 calories into this volume of liquid and have it taste good, so you gotta take the good with the bad.Overall, it's calorie dense, filling, and has a lot of vitamins, but the taste is offensive at best and drinking it down is a process thanks to its thick composition.

These are expensive but the high calories are necessary for a cancer patient. He likes the flavors and can thin them out as needed.

As a person how has a hard time swallowing solid food. Getting a healthy meal is hard task. The drinks help provide that. With 530 calories high protein that help this patient maintain weight and nutrition. Tastes alright a little thick but they make fell full so that's a plus. A little expensive but where you going to get these calories in such a little package. I say give em a try. 😍

I was looking for a high calorie protein drink due to specific health issues with eating. I was losing a lot of weight I was in desperate search for a protein drink with high calories and the boost product offered that I would go through 48 /8 ounces drinks in a month and it worked great flavor. I got the vanilla in the price at the time was very reasonable at the time of my first purchase. It was $47.98/24. I look today, April 13 and the price has skyrocketed to $65.98/24. I find that to be highly unacceptable very unreasonable. I totally understand the increase in pricing when they went from under $50 to just over $50 now they’re over $60 unfortunately at almost 3 dollars a drink/8 ounces it’s a rip off, unfortunately even though I can afford it I cannot afford to be ripped off considering there’s so much other product in the market today they might not be as good as boost however, I could still accomplish and achieve the same goal. I’m a disappointed repeat customer.

I Absolutely Love the Vanilla VHC Boost shakes! I've tried all the flavors and Vanilla is the best! Great for gaining/maintaining weight! I have Lupus and my appetite is affected, these are Heaven Sent!!!
