Do you drink nutritional drinks?

For Health? For taste? To lose weight? Do you drink nutritional drinks for any of these reasons? Maybe you drink nutritional drinks for some other reason? I just purchased a low-carb nutritional drink and plan to drink the product twice a day and eat a healthy meal or snack the other times. It is higher in protein than I like, but then, I don't need any other protein sources than what comes with it. My goal is weight loss. My problem is I'm a snacker. I'm hoping it creates that feeling of fullness that cuts off desire for non-healthy snacking. What is your experience with nutritional drinks?

No, not keen to take nutritional drink. Find it too expensive and too artificial. I do take multi-vit pills, at least it's worth the money I paid for. There are certain group of people that need to take nutritional drinks, like those cancer patients, they really need to consume nutritional drinks to overcome the side effect of chermotheraphy. And it's really expensive. But then, health is more important than money, as long as they can get well, any amount of money spent is well-spend.

I've only just bought 'boost' and haven't taken anything else much at all. I can't say I'm all that impressed though.

No!I don't go for nutritional drinks.Instead I like to get all the essential nutritions from natural diet.Having a balanced food with greens,vegetables,fruits,nuts,cereals,pulses,etc..will get us all we need.So,a separate nutritional drink is not needed for me.Cheers!

That's the best way to go. I'm trying to find a drink that takes away the hunger in a natural way. So far, haven't found it.

The most "healthy" drink I imbibe on a regular basis is V8 Fusion. I prefer the Acai Berry blend best.

I've never tried that, but I have wanted to give something with the acai berry in it a try one of these days.
