What is Glucerna Advanced?
Glucerna Advanced is a ready-to-drink, packaged nutrition beverage formulated with protein, carbohydrates and fat. Its smooth, milky consistency and gently sweet taste make it easy to have chilled straight from the bottle, or poured into a glass. It can fit into an everyday routine as a drink between meals or alongside breakfast; in places where nutrition drinks are used as convenient on-the-go options, it needs no preparation. It provides both protein and energy, rather than being simply a low-calorie drink. Shake it before serving, and choose a portion that suits your usual eating plan; for a lighter snack, have it on its own rather than pairing it with another substantial item.
