Reviews

Loveeee!

From: | Jun 28, 2026

Been drinking these for a while to help maintain my weight. Omg the chocolate ones are so absolutely delicious.

Delicious Smoothie

From: | May 16, 2026

I buy directly from Boost. I make a smoothie with the Boost Strawberry Cream and frozen blueberries and it's delicious. I'm trying desperately to gain some weight. The product is expensive but if it helps it's worth it.

Sugar Water

From: M Sam | Apr 03, 2026

My first and last time buying this unhealthy sugar water. The stuff is so full of sugar it literally sticks to your throat. That's how they're able to pack so many calories in such a small box.

From: Mark Meagher | Feb 05, 2026

Lactose Intolerant

From: Judi Otto | Jan 30, 2026

This was claimed to be "Suitable for Lactose Intolerance" and it is not. Even taking Lactaid tablets before drinking it didn't help. I bought a case of this expensive drink to help me gain weight but can't drink it because it makes me sick.

Expensive

From: | Nov 29, 2025

Very good but very expensive. We're seniors on a fixed income. Don't know how long we can afford to buy

Incredible

From: | Nov 21, 2025

Boost helped me gain weight effortlessly by providing such a delicious shake.

New bottles SUCK OPENING!

From: | Nov 05, 2025

With the change of the container to the new style I am going to not buy your product anymore. It is too hard to take off it hurts my hands to remove them and the person who came up with this idea needs to be fired! Very bad idea!

It’s terribly thick and has chunks

From: soubhi C | Jul 09, 2025

I bought this from amazon, it is terribly thick and has chunks, you feel the powder in your mouth, amazon don't return grocery items, so it was a waste of money.

Make a Smoothie!

From: | Jul 03, 2025

I called Boost (800-247-7893). The girl emailed me a list of recipes using the high calorie one. Thickness is no longer an issue. I just made a smoothie using frozen fruit and some ice. Deluxe!
