Great taste and nutritional support

Bought this for my daughter who at 46 has suffered a stroke and was recently diagnosed with a type of blood cancer. Overwhelmed by a contentious divorce and financial issues she was seriously neglecting her nutritional needs. She has reported that not only are the drinks delicious but seem to be contributing to her improved sense of well-being.

Ensure original.

I like the price, the sales on it too. My mom uses it, so I get it for her. She does drink it once a day and it gives her all the vitamins and minerals. And all the energy that she needs very happy with this product. Thank you very much

Sound like every other shopper that tries to buy

Easy place to spend more than i thought because stuff is pretty easy to find and you end up spending more than you thought because I buy ahead and u see easily what you need

Great price and nutrition

My older brother is disabled and has a very specific diet, his mornings consist of this, oatmeal and veggie pouches and ALL those things are expensive when buying regularly... especiallysince he needs 3 ensure a day. I'm glad I was able to find them in bulk

Nutritional Value

I don't have a normal appetite because of stomach issues. Ensure gives me the nutritional value I need. It doesn't irritate my stomach and taste good. My favorite is the milk chocolate.

Wish it had healthier ingredients

I have been buying Ensure for years now and love them! I wish they didn't use seed oils or soy for their protein source. It used to have pea protein not too long ago and now they have added Carageenan to Ensure. Terrible choice!! Not nice to see that. I only say this because I love Ensure and it had helped me through the years, and I would like to see this product improve for it's consumers.

Good value for the price

I use as meal replacement for the finicky senior in our home. I wish they stocked strawberry in the store. I have to have it shipped to get the flavor she likes most.

They are OK

I will not be buying this again. The color of the product is not this vanilla color but more of a coffee color so was somewhat put off by that. I also made a mistake in purchasing as most all of the other energy drinks were 30g of protein and I did not look closely at this one and it was only 9g of protein. Color and protein are the reasons for low rating

It smells and taste awful

I thought this would serve as a meal replacement. It was really hard to drink this Ensure. The smell is horrible. I tried adding vanilla extract and almond extract that didn't help either. Total waste of money.
