Equate Shakes Helps Recover Good Health
My husband lost a lot of weight due to an illness so every evening I made a shake using an 8oz Equate shake, small amount of chocolate ice cream, and milk. Along with nutritious meals he was able to regain 30 lbs and feels good. He continues to drink his nightly shake and we feel the small amount if extra vitamins and minerals found in the Equate shake help to keep him in good health. He went golfing yesterday for the first time in months!

Check the bottom of your empties for 'gunk'
I've been having this nutrition drink for years, mostly because it's $7 less than Boost or Ensure and the taste is good. The last 2 cases I've bought - all bottles have a residual 'gunk' that has settled in the bottom recesses of the bottle and won't budge no matter how long and hard I shake it. I even stored the bottles in the fridge upside down - hoping this would help dislodge the 'gunk' but it did not budge. Like it possibly got to hot or some other issue to do with improper storage. Boost does not have this issue and I'd bet the farm that Ensure doesn't either.

    Great meal replacement
    Took me a few to get used to the slight aftertaste, but I did. Excellent for vitamin supplement when you get tired of taking pills. Besides, they taste better than pills lol. We keep a bottle of Kalua on hand and I add a shot to my drink at nighttime before bed. Blends really well and taste delicious!

    Not so great taste
    I don't really like the taste but this cost way less than name brands. I have to mix it with coffee of regular chocaltwe milk. First couple of sips are ok then there is a weird veggie after taste. I just need for convenience and can't eat solids.

    love drinks but not how they are delivered at all
    i drink these every day. im older and disabled so this product i need for some meals. every time i order the cases they are shipped to me no matter what i do. they ship two cases of these in the same box , which comes the same day as my grocery delivery order,. i dont get that. so then i have a heavy box to try to drag inside. when i order delivered groceries i see no reason why these drinks are shipped and not brought by the driver....also, the last four times i have ordered glass candles in my grocery order along with a couple of cases of these drinks. the candles get shipped in the same box as the two cases of heavy drinks. each time the glass candles are completly broken and glass is then all over the cases of drinks. you can not remove any item out of the shipped box without glass and glass dust and shards goings all over the drinks, floor etc. this is very upsetting. im 60 years old and cant hardly lift the cases any way but then with glass all over them is a terrible problem. ive call the wal mart corp phone number a lot of times but this keeps happening. please let some hire up person know about this problem and fix it!!!!!!!

    Yummy
    The chocolate Equate original meal replacement is delicious. I drink it as is and sometimes add milk. Either way it always reminds me of the special chocolate milk treats I drank when I was a child

    As good as Boost at lower price....
    The product is great and taste just as good as Boost at a much lower cost. We like the at home free delivery, however, the boxes containing this product were cut and damaged. The bottles were fine with no visible damage. Overall, great product. We fine the Equate and Great Value products as good, if not better that the higher priced items.

    Price is right!
    I purchased these for a family member and she loves them. Some days she just can't make herself eat like she would like to and these help her get her calories in. The price is good for a 24 pack and she says they taste really good. She drinks them cold and likes to get them close to freezing so she can drink it like a milkshake. These help her get though the day when she needs them.

    if you can't swallow liquids freeze eat like icecr
    from The strokes I can't drink clear liquids without choking, I buy these pour them into a covered cup container and put them in the freezer and then eat them if I try and drink them I can't do it I can't swallow liquids so this food I believe it's keeping me alive not the life I would prefer living

    Wow! Speedy delivery service!
    Wow! That was fast! Was it hard to find my house? My address numbers aren't where they used to be but on the front door. In your picture, the boxes seemed to be in a car that wouldn't have been mine; were they in the delivery car? Anyway, they landed perfectly on my front porch two days sooner than you'd even said they would be, which would've been fine, but this is excellent! Thank you!

    This product is as good as Ensure but it costs less. I drink one with my breakfast every morning. It's also good if you have been sick and need to build yourself up somewhat.

    LOVE THE PROTEIN
    I bought these to fill in before dinner time. They are as good ad Glucerna, or Boost and satisfies me until I can eat dinner. I am a diabetic and love the protein count and the low sugar count of these shakes. . They are as good as the popular brand and work just fine for me. I can even take one in my purse when I go out just in case my sugar decided to drop. I was so happy to find them and that they are a Walmart brand. They are just as good as the national advertised one and a bit cheaper too.
