My mom keeps giving me Boost in milk saying it will give energy. Im in first trimester and so tired all the time. Just want to be sure its fine to have daily before i continue.
Honestly a glass of plain milk with your meals does the same job for less money. I kept Boost just for occasional change. Whatever u pick, your doc can tell u if it fits your diet plan.
Just a heads up, these health drinks have a fair bit of sugar. With my GD I had to skip them. If your sugar is normal a cup occasionally is okay but pls confirm with your doc to be safe.
I had Boost sometimes in pregnancy, it's basically a malt health drink, generally fine in moderation. But just run it by your gynac, especially if u have sugar concerns, since these drinks can be sweet.
Boost is mostly safe as a regular drink but it's not a substitute for actual nutrition. Best to mention it at your next checkup so your doctor can factor in your overall diet and sugar levels.
I'd grab it on busy mornings, it's quick. Generally ok but dont treat it as a meal replacement and dont overdo the sugar. A real breakfast is better, the drink is just an add on honestly.
