From a Sensitive and pick eater standpoint
So I bought this product on Wednesday and got it the next day. So I have read the reviews on this and what it taste like and what it mix well with and I was really scared to even get it. My reason for purchasing is because I was losing weight again and I was looking for something that can give me more without eating so much. I was weighing 140 a month ago and I went down recently to 122. Well I am someone who is sensitive when it comes to tasting things in food. I can literally tell if you put onions in my food even if they were finely chopped and grilled that is how sensitive I am. So I have been on this for 3 days and I have no complaints. It is chalky if you take it by itself but the taste doesn’t last if you drink something right after. My go to is mixing it with 2 packet of of high fiber maple brown sugar oatmeal it blends well and gives it a hint of vanilla flavoring. It does have the oil thing going on but as long as you don’t let it sit and stir it’s fine. I haven’t seen it be clumpy or chunky like some have mentioned. I also got my son to taste it and he likes it as well which is surprising because he is definitely a picky eater. I will give another update in a week or two to see if I have gained weight with this as well.*Update- So this is definitely a staple that will stay for sure. I love the taste of it with my high fiber maple brown sugar oatmeal. My son loves it as well. I am currently weighing at 137 so it does help put on weight based on how many calories you eat in a day. All in all try it out.

Stop Complaining
Omg, Do not listen to the reviews below. You probably bought this because you need it. Benecalorie is thick and oily ok. It does not mix into liquid seamlessly but it's only a shot glass full of 330 calories. That means a lot of people who need it get what they need from it. It's not flavorless more like a little chalky or milky. Similar to a peanut buttery taste. I used it in my coffee as creamer to test it out. It's not gross, wasn't bad but more importantly, It's 330 calories! That's a life saver for some people. Yes you can drink Ensure instead but some people cannot tolerate those shakes or so much liquid. If you can, great. If we all could, this product would not exist. We would just buy Boost or Ensure. Best bet is to mix into soup, juice, potatoes, yogurt, smoothies etc. I wouldn't want it in a full glass of juice, maybe a half of cup because it's thick and the oil floats to the top. It's not the best in hot drinks cause it separates unless you drink it fast but works well in soup. We mix it into tea by adding the BC into the last quarter cup. That way my daughter, who has GI issues and is underweight but drinks most liquids except smoothies or yogurt and doesn't have an appetite at times, will not really mind the taste because she doesn't know until the end since she was drinking plain tea and the last bit is thick. You can also fill a shot glass with half BC and a liquid. Drink it two times and have them finish whatever they were drinking after to wash it down. Done. Almost like giving a dose of medicine since most complain it changes the taste of the full meal. Just don't put it in a full meal. Problem solved. Get creative. It's 330 calories. If it makes you sick and Ensure doesn't, drink that instead. It's a great option for those who have searched for something to help since it's so small and so efficient. Whining doesn't help people that need it.

Tiny package, HUGE amount of nutrition and calories. A blessing to people who have food intake problems.
My Mom was in her final stages of Alzheimers and had started to refuse solid food. As her daughter and caregiver, I was thrown into a panic. I started to do some research to see how I was going to get nutrition into her. I found an ultra high calorie version of Boost and I found Benecalorie. I wasn't just looking for calories. I wanted nutrition. Both the Boost and Benecalorie give real nutrition, vitamins and proteins, in addition to calories. Combined, they provided close to 1000 good calories in an 8 oz drink. It was the answer to my prayers. Benecalorie has no taste, so you can add it to anything without adding any weird taste. So why only 4 stars? Well, the one problem that Benecalorie has is that it thickens whatever you combine it with to the point where you could stand a spoon up in it. Whatever you put it in becomes difficult to drink or eat. I found that if you heated it, it does liquify. So I started making hot chocolate...chocolate Boost plus Benecalorie. If you put it into food, make sure it's hot food.The thickening was the ONLY problem I had with Benecalorie....a very minor problem considering it was saving her life. Being able to get that much nutrition into my Mom gave her energy and her mental health actually improved as well. So, if you are in a situation where you or someone you love can't eat solid food, for whatever reason, Benecalorie comes to the rescue. I am so grateful to have found Benecalorie at a time when it was so critical. I understand that cancer patients also find that this product allows them to get nutrition into their diets when it's otherwise impossible.I hope that this review gets read by anyone who is as desperate as I was to find a solution to a critical problem.

I recently purchased this calorie and protein supplement for my grandmother, who recently started dialysis and was experiencing weight loss. I was in search of a product that could help add calories to her diet, and I'm pleased to say that this supplement has exceeded my expectations.One of the standout features of this product is its versatility. The unflavored formula allows for flexible serving options, making it easy to incorporate into my grandmother's diet. Whether mixed with her favorite drinks, protein shakes, soft foods, or other nutritional supplements, it seamlessly blends in, ensuring she receives the necessary calories and protein intake.I appreciate that this supplement caters to a variety of dietary needs. It is suitable for gluten-free, low-residue, fluid-restricted, cholesterol-free, kosher, and lactose intolerance diets. This versatility ensures that individuals with specific dietary restrictions can still benefit from this product. However, it is important to note that it is not suitable for individuals with galactosemia.Considering both nutritional and digestive needs, this product from Nestle offers a comprehensive solution. Nestle is known for its range of specialized GI and nutrition formulas, catering to both adult and pediatric needs. This particular supplement is designed to meet the needs of individuals with GI dysfunction, illness, or increased energy requirements. It serves as a reliable source of essential nutrients, supporting overall health and well-being.To ensure optimal results, it is recommended to shake the product vigorously before opening, ensuring a well-mixed consistency. This step ensures that the supplement is properly blended and ready for consumption.In conclusion, this calorie and protein supplement has been a valuable addition to my grandmother's diet. Its neutral flavor, ease of mixing with various foods and drinks, and suitability for different dietary needs make it a versatile and convenient option. The fact that it addresses both nutritional and digestive requirements further emphasizes its effectiveness. I would highly recommend this product to anyone seeking to add calories and protein to their diet, particularly for individuals with specific dietary restrictions or increased energy needs.

Good to have, but not easy to use.
I have at least one/day and my weight is finally coming back up. I'm on a low-sodium diet and find it difficult to increase calories while keeping my sodium down. This product is great for that. However, it is NOT unflavored and adds sweetness to soups, etc, so I stick with using it in my protein shakes. That works fine when I use the blender, but when downing a bottled protein drink, some of the Benecalorie always has to be scraped out of the container. No matter how hard I shake it into my bottle, it remains "chunky". I'm on my 3rd case of Benecalorie; does this happen with all of them, or am I just getting the rare cases that aren't totally liquid?
