- 22 g of high-quality protein — supports muscle preservation and repair.

Boost VHC Vanilla
I need to gain weight and this is a great high calorie drink. I add it to my morning coffee for a French Vanilla flavor. But if I drink it straight from the carton, I get an upset stomach, if I drink too much. I try it over ice, and that’s a little better. That’s why I gave it 4 stars.
