Boost Chocolate High Protein Drink, 8 OZ (Case Contains: 24 Bottles)

My husband works nearly 60 hours a week at a very intense, physical job. He is not young anymore at 62 and he also suffers from Crohn's Disease, When it flares up, he stops eating most food and sticks to soup or whatever liquidy, bland food he can tolerate. His weight is lower than it should be and he doesn't take vitamins for whatever reason. He starts then stops any vitamins he gets.I bought a case of Boost High Protein in very vanilla for him to have in the morning or after dinner. I was thinking it had more calories like Ensure but 240 is a decent amount for a snack. The best part is that is has a lot of protein and tons of vitamins and minerals in it. It tastes delicious. I now drink it. (I do not need the extra calories but the protein and vitamins are good for me.)There is no fake sugar in this which would have completely turned my husband off. Still, he didn't want to even TRY it but he did and said it was pretty good. He has since been drinking a bottle at night, sometimes adding fruit to make a smoothie. I can't say that he suddenly bulked up and feels great but I know the ingredients are helping to fill the gap that his sporadic diet causes. And it is easy on the stomach so when he has a flare, he can drink a bottle of Boost rather than just sip broth.I am pleased with the flavor, the protein, and the vitamins and minerals. I wish it had some fiber in it but, still, I really believe this drink should replace a sugary soda or fatty snack for everyone. I now have this on Subscribe & Save and may have to get two cases a month - one for each of us. The price is good - better than others I looked at - and, most of all, the flavor is really good, making it like a tasty shake rather than any sort of nutritional supplement. I am going with 5 stars although 3-5 grams of fiber would REALLY make this perfect.

I love Boost! All the flavors are good but am partial to chocolate. It tastes just like chocolate milk! Alot of these type drinks are awful or taste strange. Not Boost! I also like the extra protien and added fiber ones!

It's hard to find peaches and cream BOOST

The price, taste and quantity

Hot off the press as I just received not more than five minutes ago my order for Boost High Protein Complete Nutritional Drink, Very Vanilla, 8 fl oz Bottle, 24 Pack.The item appears as pictured on the listing page. I haven't tried the product yet as it's in the Refridgerator cooling off. I will try at room temperature as well to see which I like best.My energy levels have been low recently and I feel sleepy more often than usual. I ordered the Boost High Protein Complete Nutritional Drink, Very Vanilla, to supplement vitamins. Nonetheless, I purchased two cases to try while the pricing was reasonable. I choose vanilla because in products such as these usually taste best and I can add chocolate or other flavorings to it for variety.Several of the bottles received are dented but appear to be intact. There were no signs of leakage or cracks. The contents should be fine.As this is merely a first impressions review I will be updating after experiencing the Boost for a couple of weeks. I will add photos at that time as well. Please check back if interest in the results. Thank you.[UPDATE 12.08.2019]Thus far, none of the damaged bottles have been compromised. I removed the label when selecting one and although its container is dented, there are no cracks or breaks in the plastic bottles.The product tastes good at room temperatures, refrigerated, and at temps in-between.My primary reason for even ordering the product was to see if I was missing some necessary vitamins in my diet. I eat rather healthy; however, I have a tendency to forget to eat when I’m busy.At the start of 2019, I developed an issue around my lower back toward the right side. I first contributed it to a pulled muscle. Nevertheless, the pain persisted past the recommended time. I found myself leaning with a deduction of possible kidney stones. I had experience stones in the past but this feeling was much different. I knew it wasn't a pinched nerve or anything to deal with my spine. I finally gravitated my conclusion to a lack of vitamins. Being rather busy, I endured the discomfort for mostly the entire year.Once, I began drinking the BOOST, results were noticed quickly by the next day. The pain level was literally cut in half. Since day one, I drink one early in the morning and one before retiring for the evening. My pain is nearly gone, I predict by week’s end. The pain will be gone entirely.I’m not claiming others should follow my lead. I’m merely sharing my experience and reason for purchasing. I don’t subscribe to seeing doctors or taking medications. It’s my lifelong belief that the body is it's own pharmaceutical and should self-repair. However, the body does need nourishment to perform its task. Which vitamins were missing I do not know but I have supplied it with vitamines with BOOST and my body stepped up to the task of self-maintenance.// DIGITAL SIGNATURE //I close my reviews with a THANK YOU because I do appreciate you investing precious time in reading my material.

My husbands drinks every morning with his medication. This is good for him as it’s very early before he gets up to eat this is sufficiently great.

Delicious with no aftertaste.
