I am trying hard to find something positive to say about this product. Its full of sugar, chemicals and little else. I suppose its at least good that its made with milk, so it provides calcuim and vitamin D.

Take a look at the nutrition info. For one thing, it has 200 CALORIES per small serving. Top that off with 5 grams of fat, 3 of those being saturated! 31 grams of sugar? No thanks! Regular nonfat milk has about 12 grams of sugar on its own, but thats naturally occuring. I just don't understand how this could be considered healthy. You would be better off taking lowfat milk, and blending it with strawberries (fresh or frozen) and adding some vanilla extract. It would be better tasting, more nutritious and cheaper!

Wow, Great review! Just to totally back you up, I have in my hands an alternative to nesquik, it's Organic Valley Strawberry Low Fat Milk, it comes in an 8 oz drink box. The ingredients are all organic; Milk, cane sugar, inulin, strawberry flavor, Vit. A, palmitate and Vit. D3. No chemicals! Also, only 150 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 1.5 saturated and 24 grams of sugar, but it's organic cane sugar not high fructose corn syrup. They also come in a chocolate and a vanilla flavor as well as the strawberry. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the same drink could be made from natural ingredients and would be better for you. Thanks for the review!
