Need a nutritional boost? The Boost brand nutritional supplement drinks have been on the market for years. But they've just released a new line of flavors. Smoothies -- in strawberry, raspberry, and peach. These shelf-stable drinks provide 9 grams of protein, 22 vitamins and minerals, and calcium. And they sound quite yummy to boot.

These drinks are excellent sources of nutrition for people who are unable to consume solid foods for nutrition. But for most of us, they're a bit unnecessary. If you're in a pinch, it's a fine choice. But keep in mind these drinks aren't giving you anything you can't get from a nutritious, healthy diet. Well, there is one thing these drinks will give you that fruits, veggies, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean protein can't provide... 36 whopping grams of sugar per serving.
