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)

If you're looking for a reliable, nutrient-dense supplement to support weight gain or maintain energy levels, Boost Very High Calorie Vanilla Nutritional Drink delivers exactly what it promises. Each 8 oz serving packs a powerful punch with 530 calories, 22g of high-quality protein, and 26 essential vitamins and minerals, making it one of the most calorically rich options available. The vanilla flavor is a little on the sweet side and the texture is a little thick but it is very dense. Whether you're recovering from illness, managing a high metabolism, or simply need a convenient way to boost your intake, this drink is a fantastic solution. Pro tip: Chill it before drinking for a lighter texture and even better taste or blend with ice. For more calories, protein and better flavor add a little peanut butter (I use the powder so it's not too thick). If you have trouble with cold temperature you can drink at room temp and also blend at room temp. Highly recommended for anyone needing extra calories without compromising on nutrition or flavor. Boost has truly raised the bar with this product.

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.

We bought these drinks for my teenage son, who has been severely underweight since elementary school. When nothing else worked--these do! He has gained five-ten pounds in the last month or two, and I have hope he'll reach a healthy weight for the first time in years. In our case, a naturally high metabolism, stimulant medication, limited safe foods, and genuinely forgetting to eat all worked against him. These high-calorie shakes meet his taste and texture requirements and allow him to get protein, fat, and calories without stopping to eat.

Although it says not to, I have been using it as a pediatric shake to help my daughter, with sensory issues when it comes to food, gain weight. Works really well. She went from the 11% to the 37% in a year and a half. I am now using it under the guidance of a GI specialist and a dietitian for the same purpose. Please seek doctor opinions before using it for this purpose. My daughter is almost completely dependent on theses shakes for food. Your child may not have the same issues and may need therapies to help. That being said if you are looking for a cost effective alternative to any of the higher priced shakes, these have higher calories, and I have not had any issue getting her to drink this. It also comes it different flavors. The only issue we have run into is that we use the nuk transition bottle with spout nipple, and after it sits for awhile, it starts to thicken. Any unused portion definitely needs to be refrigerated as soon as possible. It can also be a pain to clean out, so try rinsing it out after drinking it.

Taste is good but they are very expensive.

If you need to gain weight, this is the product for you. It tastes great and doesn't leave any after taste. Through having an operation and being in the hospital for 2 weeks plus not being able to swallow food and very little water. I lost 21 pounds. This is helping me. I drink one in the morning with my breakfast. I want to gain some of the weight back, but not too fast.

High quality! Received quickly. Excellent flavor!

This drink is assisting my teenage gain weight. She loves the favour.
