Ensure Original Vanilla Nutrition Shake | Small Meal Replacement Shake | Ready To Drink | 9g Protein, 27 Vitamins and Minerals | 8 fl oz - 16 Pack

At the end of October last year, I found that needed chemotherapy. My protocol is 3 medications - 1 self administered injection weekly and 6 capsules daily. A side effect of the treatment is loss of appetite and severe daily nausea. One of my friends suggested taking the medications using the Ensure. I was skeptical but took the advice. I figured it Could't make my situation worse. It made a tremendous, reducing the severe nausea, especially immediately after getting the meds down. I am still have nausea, but the Ensure helps. I still have another 3 months of treatment and I will continue using the Ensure to take my meds and help me maintain a healthy weigh I cannot eat. I have tried 3 flavored and I swear by the vanilla. The only downside using Ensure is the cost. At $20 a box and with me unable to work, it chews up any monies I have. (Example; $500 for May June when drinking 3-6 bottles daily) I am really happy I started using the Ensure. Had I not, I am not so sure I would continue the chemotherapy because of the daily nausea. Ensure has made 9 months of feeling crappy a little easier!! I highly recommend it. Jim [email protected] "Spel checkers, hop neeeeds em?

My Doctor recommended I start using Ensure for nutrition! I am using a blood thinner to lessen the risk of a stroke and on a special diet. I was not getting enough nutrients on my diet so she recommended that I start drinking Ensure but that I not drink more than 2 or 3 a week or it would throw off my blood thinners effectiveness. Following her plan I found myself feeling more energetic and comfortable than I had in some time. There are 4 flavors available, Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and clear ( seems like a sort of fruit flavour). I have tried all the flavors and they are all excellent! Price was much better than at grocery stores or pharmacies.

Just got back from a very debilitating time in the hospital where I lost about 25 lbs. Considering I was at a good, healthy weight before going in this was not good. I was down to no reserve fat. Without reserve fat the body takes energy from muscle. The heart is muscle. That is why I was in the hospital. Upon returning to normal eating habits at home I regained 12 lbs and plateaued and not much of that was fat. So my choices were more empty carbohydrates, more sugars, more salty snacks, eating at fast food places. Or I could break years of hard learned eating habits that lead to losing 60 lbs down to a healthy 160s. Or I could add healthy calories. By the book this stuff is about as healthy as you can get. And I am hoping the habit of drinking this between meals will not become a new bad eating habit leading back to obesity. At least it is easy to stop having the stuff around to drink which is half of breaking a bad habit.

My mother loves these. First she likes that they are in bottles and not the snap tops (flip top). The vitamins in these seem to keep her energized and able to get things done around the house at 80+ years of age. I can tell when she has had them-- she is washing and folding clothes and from one thing to the next. She calls them her body building drink and has told her other older friends about it and now they are trying it. I have tried them too and they are good and vitamin filled for energy and alertness. BEWARE-- they contain, I believe 200+ calories per bottle. That may be a lot for some people. Mom likes them so much, she sometimes have two a day! Watch the sugar contents in some of the versions of the Ensure products too. All in all, this one is pretty good as far as taste too. These have the taste of a vanilla milkshake and best when very cold. You can freeze them for a real milkshake taste and let thaw. These are good morning or noon. I do not advise at night because they may keep you awake due to the high vitamin content and give energy when you want to sleep instead.

I purchase two cases at the same time to take advantage of the free shipping. Despite the Super-Saver shipping Amazon always manages to deliver these in about 2 days. The price on Amazon is pretty much the same as at the chain stores but you don't have to pay sales tax up front, if you purchase two at a time you don't have to pay shipping, and you save gas money by not having to go to the store. Also, the vanilla tastes like a milkshake. For the value I choose Ensure over the other alternatives.

My father recently became paralyzed from the chest down, and he has begun wasting away. I decided to order Ensure to supplement nutrients that he seriously needs. He told me he wanted the vanilla flavor, and I was concerned because of some of the other reviews. It arrived and he tried it. That was a month ago. Recently, he let me know that his supply was getting low, and he'd like me to order more. I asked if he wanted the same flavor, and he said that he loves the vanilla. He drinks at least one every day. Now, it is expensive, but if it is giving him the nourishment that he needs, I'm all for it. If you love vanilla, don't be spooked by the other reviews. Give it a try for yourself.

good supplement drink. tastes pretty good and cheaper than most alternatives. have to shake it a lot before drinking or it is kind of chalky. vanilla flavor is the best.

Love this product, when I skip a meal this is my substitute.
