I wouldn’t call Boost “sugar water” since there are vitamins and protein in it, but I agree that looks like a better choice. Thanks!

FWIW, those EAS drinks (chocolate) are my favorite pre-mixed protein shakes.

Glucerna is basically the same thing as Boost, just safe for diabetics. Ounce for ounce, Boost has more sugar than Mountain Dew. The first two ingredients in Boost are corn syrup and sugar. And this is supposed to be a nutritional drink. Look at Glucerna, it only has 5 or 6 grams of sugar, similar protein amounts and the same vitamin fortification.
