I have to drink Boost every day for nutritional needs, and although I do not have arthritis, I find the new seal on the top to be VERY difficult to remove. One bottle slid and all of the contents splashed all over my counter. The bottle is sealed by the outer plastic covering. Can anyone tell me why the new seal is in place, and if it is for safety reasons, is it ok to drink any Boost I buy that doesn't yet have the hideous new seal? Other than that, I love the product's taste, but have been considering going back to Ensure, which I can open, and I don't want to, since I like Boost's flavor better, but not if I have to fight to get into the bottle.

First drink & I'm blasted with the horrible taste of stevia. So I'm here to thank whomever checked the "NO artificial sweeteners" box on the chart for the 14 days of torture & hospital time you inflicted. ALL Boosts have artificial sweeteners except Plus

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleasantly surprised to find that this product was just what I was looking for! I wanted a high protein drink for when work was too busy to stop and this was perfect. The flavor was surprisingly good and the energy assist was great for a long work day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product really works for me as I have eating troubles and sometimes don't want to eat even when I need to. Having these around really helps because I can have one in place of a meal and it'll get my stomach rumbling for solid foods

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I tried a premade protein shake and it was pleasantly surprised. The coffee flavor is mild and not overpowering at all. My husband thought it tasted chalky but I did not so I guess it goes from person to person. I thought it tasted/felt like a melted chocolatey pudding since it's thicker than just chocolate milk.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time trying boost and I must say I am now a fan. I loved the taste and the fact that it didn't have a chalky after taste. It was really good and I would definitely drink this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used many different protein drinks and I really like this one. The flavor is rich and doesn't have that minerally after taste. It's really small and not really good for a meal replacement, but for an added "boost", it's perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually mix my own protein drink with the powder and water but this packaged protein drink was a good on-the-go option. The strawberry flavor had a rich and creamy texture and it wasn't too thick. It also didn't have any after taste which was another plus. Highly recommend if you are too lazy to mix your own protein drink and just need to grab it to go. It's good to drink protein shakes after a work out to restore your muscles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the protein shake. Rich chocolate flavor, smooth, good size. Really easy to carry out for any activity and stay cold longtime. I purchase some already and I highly recommend to my friends and family.

It seems the 20 gram boost drink does not say lactose free anymore on the 24 or 6 case boxes anymore. That was so important. It seems a little different now in taste too. Other vegan drinks have pea prtein and chia seeds which my husband is allergic to. Because of my husbands stroke It is hard for my husband to use his false teeth. This drink used to be perfect especially when out or at doctor appointments so he has something to eat, At home I can grind his food with the food processor and he can eat at home. Please respond immediately if the drink is still lactose free. And also the drink is very hard to open.
