5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good. Only wish Amazon.com had more flavors, April 14, 2004

This review is from: Glucerna Weight Loss Shake, Chocolate, 4 - 11 fl oz cans [44 fl oz (325 ml) 1.3 l] (Health and Beauty)

This stuff tastes good (a little like Yoohoo to me), it's made for diabetics. Cheapeast price I've seen ANYWHERE, online or off. Free shipping. And it got delivered a day earlier than they said it would. I hope Amazon.com keeps carrying this product. This could well become a monthly purchase for me. My only dissappointment, wish they carried more flavors of the Glucerna Weight Loss Shake.
