• ·      Um they are okay if you are out and about but they are nothing special, its just milk and a lot of sugars. It does have a lot of vitamins and random stuff in it though.

• ·      Haven’t had one of them in ages, used to drink them all the time. I find them to be a little rich for my liking now, would still have one if desperate though

• ·      I usually have one straight after football.

• ·      i used to have it after i worked out, but the full version not the light, as it tastes horrible! But now that im on protein shakes i wont be having this drink often, perhaps when im on the move and I’ve got no way of making a protein shake! But overall thumbs up from me!

Question in a forum:

Hi all. Does anybody else drink the Dunns Nurishment drink? It says it’s a meal in a can and tastes pretty good. http://www.nurishment.co.uk/frame.htmIf I drink this DAILY on top of meals and snacks will this help me put on weight? I’m 25 and only weigh about 8 stone!!!, I’ve got the weights and the books and am compiling a bulk up food and weight training programme for myself. I am very committed and want it to work. Cheers

Response:

More protein in a pint of milk - more carbs in milk I think as well - if you are eating enough to put weight on you should be getting enough everyday nutrients without supplements. It tastes lovely though, probably because it's full of sugar.

Question:

Since I work a nightshift twice a week I've been drinking these Dunn's River Nurishment drinks at the end of my shift as a kind of makeshift breakfast until I get home and can eat properly! The thing is that going by the nutritional info on the side of the can there appears to be a pretty high level of saturated fat content, here are the stats, bear in mind that I am currently trying to bulk up! Cal’s - 422Protein - 21gCarbs - 61.3gfat - 11gsaturates - 6.7gCan somebody tell me if it is a bad idea to use these drinks as part of my bulking diet, I'm quite new to all this nutritional stuff so any advice would be very much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Seems fine to me, if you are bulking up and working out regularly then you need to increase your calorie intake a lot. This drink has it, and also a reasonable amount of protein. They seem pretty good to me just keep using them.
