Generally, you can get around 750 calories per drink with this combination (maybe more if you're not pre-diabetic or diabetic). If you find you're not able to eat as much food as you'd like later on, this kind of blender drink will keep you going and you'd probably need 4 of them a day. I used 1 1/2 bottles of Boost, 3 TB whey protein powder, 1 cup of fortified milk (4 parts whole milk to 1 part skim milk powder) and 2 scoops of ice-cream. Anne
