Better flavor and quality then the others

Let me start by saying. Yeah, we have tried probably ninety percent of the protein drinks out there, why? You ask? Well, I'll tell you it's because my wife is a heart transplant recipient, and there is just days quite often because of all the medication that they have her on and it has a better taste than the other name brands. we buy them by the case from walmart, or amazon walmart is cheaper, so i've always tried to go that route and if that doesn't work, then you can go amazon. Thank you, Walmart for your good prices.

Ensure You have Ensure

These are SO good, but sadly don't agree with my stomach, but it's my stomach that's the problem and not the prou can also just try to make your own version of lear, but that takes actually having to do something. In the long run, it's less expensive to do it that way though. I tried it once and I got an almost perfect match on taste for one flavor of Clear. If you don't like doing stuff, including washing dishes, or maybe you just want to save time for other things, get Ensure or Ensure Clear if for even nothing else other than taste.

Thanks

I really like chocolate better, but decided to try vanilla. Looking forward to the rest of my order coming in the 31st of this month and the fourth of next.

My elder loves this flavor %26 protein drink. Honestly many of us are considering drinking this instead of other brands due to the elder being overwhelmingly receptive as it increased appetite..

Breakfast made easy

If you’re tired of making your own breakfast shakes, which can be quite tiresome ensure will make life easier for you in the morning or actually anytime of day. Everyone’s different and their needs are different in the morning . for years I never ate breakfast. My mother thought I did, but I didn’t.. then I discovered the different protein shakes that you could make yourself in a blender. Well, who has that much time in the morning . ensure gives you everything that you need to start your day. All you have to do is remove the cap and start enjoying a smooth taste with no aftertaste and no grit and they always taste the same.. they have a variety of flavors so you can pick and choose. I like mine to sit in the refrigerator so that when I open it, it’s nice and cold. That’s just me in the morning. Check out all the vitamins and nutrients since it’s easier to drink your vitamins in my opinion. Just google ensure flavors they have quite a few and if they’re not on the shelf, ask the grocer if he can order it for you..

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.

Gives Energy

I only bought this because it was a bit less $ than the plus which is higher protein and calories and tastes better. My doctor prescribed it to me but because my prescription ran out, I had to buy out of pocket and I have to drink 3x a day but I cut it to once a day or none a day. I like all the nutrients and vitamins. It just cost way too much for me.

I've been ordering butter pecan, not just original. I would like to find out how to get the butter pecan instead of having it replaced by original because I was never asked to replace it. The drivers are great, but I don't think they're understanding the difference in flavors because this is my second order not to get butter pecan ensure drinks
