I love the taste of the strawberry. The Hunger Smart formula really works to keep me full if I use it as a meal substitute.

As a business owner, time is always lacking, so I've been on the liquid meal replacement bandwagon for a while. I was drinking Soylent for around 2 years, those are very satisfying but I always felt had too many calories, too much fat, and were a little too "thick". Also, my digestive system did not appreciate ingesting so much soy every day. So when Soylent recently jacked up their prices, which were already BY FAR the most expensive in the "meal replacement nutritional shake" category, I got motivated to try other things.I started with Ensure, which I liked a lot, but it has way too much sugar (22g per 8oz bottle). So over a few weeks time, I also ending up trying Glucerna, Boost, and Walmart's generic "Equate" shakes. I wanted to try Slimfast too but the normal one has a ton of sugar and the high protein one is low sugar but really expensive. Also I'm not trying to lose weight with these, so just the stigma of being associated with "dieting" kinda kept me away. I did want to try it though.Flavor is important because if you don't like it, you're not going to drink it. They're all pretty similar honestly in flavor and texture, all pretty good, except for Equate - that one isn't just "okay", it's actually bad. Very chalky.Beyond flavor, I was pretty sure I liked Glucerna best because the numbers looked good on the back but I could never be sure until I made a spreadsheet to compare them all (photo attached). I tracked 9 unique variables that I cared about, and out of all the drinks I tried, Glucerna is best or well above average in 6, and average in the other 3. It is more expensive than all the other options, but only a little. Not significantly enough to flag it as a negative.I didn't track vitamins and minerals because all of these drinks are about the same - all have 23-26 of them, and mostly 25-35% daily value for each one. I did make an exception for potassium though because it varied widely, and it's a really important one.So yeah, Glucerna is by far the best nutritional shake out there by a long shot. Whether or not you're diabetic, the low glycemic index is good for staying satisfied longer with whatever you ingest. So it's going to be my drink of choice going forward.Boost is second place, and I've seen it on sale for half the price of Glucerna, so I will be buying that sometimes too. Having zero fiber is a real bummer though, Boost is the only one with actually zero (vs 6g for Glucerna). But otherwise it's a very solid choice as well.

This is their go-to! My parents really enjoy the Classic Strawberry—great taste, and it helps support their blood sugar. Definitely a staple in our household now.

Great priduct

I got these for my Mother in law and she absolutely loved the flavor but they did raise her blood sugar instead of help manage. We choose these specifically because it was made for diabetics but it seemed to makes it worse. So be careful if you have low blood sugar then this is perfect for you! It’s honestly worth the money and helps with nutrition! I ended up taking them and as someone who is 28w pregnant these are awesome and they really are great quality. The reason for 4 stars is because it does not warn your about possible blood sugar raises otherwise live it!

Taste great taking based on my Doctor’s recommendation

Shake has good taste but not great, no big spike on the glucose yet so maybe it works?
