Tasty and a good value.

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

My doc recommended I drink an Ensure every day due to medical issues. The Ensure tasted lousy and was expensive, so I went looking for other options. I've tried dozens of "nutrition shakes" and so far this is the best flavor and at under a dollar a bottle is one of the cheapest while having virtually the same nutrients. It pretty much tastes like chocolate milk. Very yummy and worth the money. Slightly lower calories, though, so be aware of that if you're using it as an alternative to a "medical" supplement.

Quick and satisfying

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

This drink has protein and vitamins/minerals in it and only 3 grams of sugar. I can use it as a light snack at home or on the go. I purchased the chocolate flavor. It doesn’t have a true and full chocolate flavor and this is where it could be improved. The taste isn’t bad, but it is lacking. I like the 24 count size.

Great taste and healthy

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

Verified Purchase

Excellent product. Has a complete amount of vitamins and minerals which is most important to me. The taste is great, similar to chocolate milk. Have been searching for a healthy nutrition drink and based on the taste and ingredients, my search is over. Will definitely be ordering more of this product. The only problem I have is since it's healthy and taste so good I may be tempted to drink more than I should leading to weight gain. The packaging is recyclable friendly. Would rate this nutrition drink A+.

Low Sugar - higher protein than most - GREAT FLAVOR ‼️

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

Great taste- higher protein - very low in sugar - actually is a much better taste in the “light start” than their regular Choc one— my ONLY regret is that they don’t make the French Vanilla in the “light start”- price is reasonable/as long as it doesn’t go up - if that happens I won’t be able to cont to use it- they don’t accept my food stamps & at 78 I have to def “pick & choose”.

So here is the thing- I have been using this product for several wks- (switched over to the “light”) - can’t say enough about it- a great product, only 3sugar, has 13 protein & only 150 calories & a bonus of great taste !
Here is my one & only issue— I bought several cases/sleeves which have 4 six packs in side. This is now a potential issue because the provider shipped my all of them w the same expiration date of “USE BY” - NOT “BEST BY” which is stamped “”Jan 22,2023”‼️ Now that could present a problem since I ordered multiple cases - it is a real concern- I don’t know how long after that expiration date I could safely use this product‼️

Price was great, but

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Price was good, so I bought 2 cases of 24 packs ( 48 bottles) . Took a week to arrive. The taste is best described as watered down chocolate milk. Nit what I was expecting. I was hoping more of a shake like taste and this is not like that. I decided to add it in the blender with fruits such as banana to make it more to my liking. After these 48 bottles are done, not sure I'll order anymore of this case and go back to Boost and Ensure.

Update:: Could not ever come to accept the watered down taste. The price drop was the reason I bought it but I just ordered more cases of Boost Vanilla instead of re-ordering this watered down chocolate taste. To me, it taste just like water and chocolate milk mixed 50/50 and not what I was hoping for.
