BOOST Original Balanced Nutritional Powder Drink Mix with 10g Protein & 25 Vitamins - Very Vanilla Flavor, 14.6oz | Meal Replacement & Energy Boost for Adults, Seniors & Active Lifestyles

Never knew that Boost came in a powdered form! Although the ready made shakes are very good, they do go quick when drinking 2 a day. I wanted a nutritional powder to make my own shakes at home. The choices for the nutritional drink powders that are targeted more for those who are much more active/athletic were overwhelming as well as quite pricey. (I'm a rather sedentary 68 yr. old who just wants to supplement my nutritional needs without having to swallow pills & hopefully gain a little weight). It was while I was searching through those that I found the Boost Nutritional Powder Drink Mix. Yay! Although it says to mix it with water, I make my own high calorie shake (and I need all the calories I can get) by mixing it with whole milk, fruit, and nut butter in my bullet blender. Soooo good! The vanilla flavor is not overpowering so the flavor of whatever fruit I am using comes through. If I want a simple cold glass of milk, I just mix it up with some Boost and enjoy the vanilla flavor or flavor it myself with some chocolate syrup or coffee for something different. I like having that diversability. Good amount of calories per serving, chock FULL of vitamins & minerals (take a look at the nutrition facts, it's a long list), good number of servings per container, very reasonably priced, convenient & so easy to use (and I don't have to fill my trash with the 8-oz. plastic bottles the premade shakes come in). And just a heads up: although it's a powder, it does contain milk and soy ingredients, so be aware of that should you have digestive issues with those ingredients.
