Nutritional supplement that isn't disgusting
I am trying to maintain my weight during MAC treatment. Can you recommend a nutritional supplement drink that tastes good and doesn't have artificial ingredients?

Hello. I really like Orgain, as does a nutritionist I worked with. It doesn't have that weird, almost metallic taste, that some do. The chocolate flavor is the one I really like. I should note, I like the pre-made shakes more than their powder. I have also heard good things about Kate Farmer shakes.
true ORGAIN plant protein, chocolate flavor is actually very good. It is just plant protein with 50 super foods; I also bought TRUBAR in costco, plant based protein bars- 180-190 cal, 12 g protein- not much but you can always keep it in your bag, just in case. I opted for plant based but there are other types as well. and it tastes really good (cookie dough and donuts)
@bklyngal Well, Here's a third vote for the Orgain shakes. I also like the FairLife Salted Caramel shakes. By the way, I used to pour one into a covered container, put it in the freezer and shake it occasionally until it was slushy, or blend it with ice cubes to make a shake.
Also, I make my own smoothies, a blenderful at a time, with full-fat Greek yogurt, Orgain vanilla protein powder, whatever fruit I had in my freezer or fridge and carrots. I pour it into 8oz bottles and refrigerate. When I was trying to gain/maintain weight I drank 2 a day. Now, we make them up for beach days and road trips - even my little grandsons love them.

I alternate between the vanilla, peanut butter and chocolate flavor Orgain.. I make a large blender full and have it for breakfast and lunch. I put almond milk, Greek yogurt, oatmeal, mixed fresh fruit, either Orgain protein powder or walnuts and almonds and a large dash of cinnamon.
I buy the mixed fruit and a large bag of Walnuts and a large bag of almonds at Costco or Walmart, you can buy large bags at most large grocery stores
