Set a goal: The best drinks offer nutrient dense combinations of vitamins, minerals, protein, healthy sugars without unhealthy fats. Once you set a goal, you will be better at determining what kind of nutrition is needed. Are you trying to loose weight or gain? Its best to consume fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. High calorie milk based supplemental drinks are of benefit if you malnourished.
