What are people’s opinion on Boost nutritional drink. I have used Ensure in the past years but did not like the intestinal movements that followed. Is Boost maybe a better product. Mainly using nutritional drink for pre and post workouts.
I use Boost or Ensure (price thing for me) pre and post workouts as well as during for longer sessions. I have tried them all and they all seem similar although the CVS brand seems to be my favorite. I would alos add I have found them to be pretty heat resisitant as well, i.e. OK for Special Needs bags.
Boost is SUPER!!!
I have used it before workouts, after workouts, and in transition of really long races.
Similar to your experiences with Ensure, I find that different flavors “sit” better in my gut. Plain ol’ chocolate works best for me. The strawberry, vanalla, and hazel nut are all okay, too.
I stay away from the “high protein” version during races; it seems to cause a little gas.
Keep your eye out for price breaks. Usually a four-pack is around $5.00 where I live, but sometimes they have a six pack deal for under $4.00. I really stock up then.
God bless,

Used to use Boost all the time post race. Had a bit of a tinny taste to it right out of the can though. Bummer we can’t get it much up here anymore…worked almost as good as Endurox and tasted a whole lot better.
