Ensure Max Protein Shake | Milk Chocolate | Ready to Drink | 30g Protein for Muscle Building | 1g Sugar, 4g Fiber | 11 fl oz – 12 Pack

Less expensive than price at supermarket.
My nutritionst recommended Ensure Max Protein for a meal replacement to lose weight since it’s only 150 calories and has 30 grams of protein. The milk chocolate shake was thick and delicious as well as filling. Good quality shake when compared to Atkins. I couldn’t smell the shake but it had no odor.

30g protein, 150 calories, tastes good (better if refrigerated or on ice)
Getting protein is hard, and as we age AARP and doctors say we need even more protein. UT Southwestern Emergency Room Hospital’s Dietician said my 160 pound, 80-year-old mom needs 68g of protein daily when bedridden and AARP recommends as much as 90g of protein a day when she is able to get around. Ensure MAX Protein drinks have been a savior with just 150 calories, 25 vitamins & minerals and 30g of protein! Trying to get 90g of protein a day into a person who eats like a bird is nearly impossible without this product!!To determine which flavor(s) she/I liked, we bought different 4 packs and did taste tests. Once we worked out that the best flavor to us unrefrigerated was strawberry, I began ordering them with auto-ship through Amazon for the convenience of arriving on my doorstep without having to track quantities. This also saved me from the headache of the local retail stores all having empty shelves of the good flavors! We have found over time that serving them chilled does improve the flavor. I prefer strawberry flavor if room temperature or refrigerated, while she wants some variety, so I’ve expanded to offer refrigerated strawberry, milk chocolate and French vanilla. Refrigerated she prefers milk chocolate and unrefrigerated she prefers strawberry. However, she does not want to drink the same flavor every day, so I keep a ‘Neapolitan’ of flavors in our fridge door for her: creamy strawberry, French vanilla and milk chocolate.Not getting enough protein does have health consequences. I kept trying to tell her eating like she was and only drinking one Ensure MAX Protein a day was not enough protein. She needed/needs 2 a day. Despite 2x weekly physical therapy for 2 hours, she kept getting weaker. Finally, her physical therapist asked if she was getting enough protein because she kept getting weaker. Please learn from our mistake and be sure to get enough protein. It is extra hard to have to make up for the loss of muscle that happens from trying to build strength but not having the proper fuel in your body. I feel very badly for my mom, and ‘I told you so’ is not satisfying as now I watch her struggle with extra weakness. THIS IS A LIFE CHANGER PRODUCT!! Also love that it is only 150 calories, so it isn’t packing on the pounds at the same time as providing protein.HIGHLY RECOMMEND CREAMY STRAWBERRY ENSURE MAX PROTEIN!! I hope this review helps someone else.

I like both the chocolate and the mocha varieties
I was advised to drink this by my healthcare team to increase protein intake while keeping sugar low. It’s delicious and low-calorie. I’ve also used these with adding almond milk and banana for additional nutrition. I wish it was less expensive but I need to keep ordering them for my health. Definitely recommend.

Tastes good. Great way to get protein, fast.
Tastes great. Was given Ensure with every meal in hospital. We seniors need more protein.
