Ensure
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I found that my appetite to eat other things started going up when I started drinking an ensure in the morning. That is sort of my "gateway" which then got me to eat a couple mandarins at breakfast.
- Ensure is the drink. It's like a meal replacement drink full of nutrients
- Ensure, it's a meal drink. I used to get so stressed out I wouldn't eat. My doctor told me to drink this.
- It’s truly one of the worst things I’ve experienced. A soft straw and some Ensure kept me alive since I couldn’t eat.
- My doctors recommended Ensure for a while for me. I currently use the powder version in cans for a DIY overnight oat smoothie
Cons
- Ensure comes in powder form, but you have to mix it with something substantial to replace the energy from a whole meal.
- Ensure makes “clear” drinks but they’re still flavored.
- i’m in this same situation and i get the Boost drinks, very similar to Ensure and you can get them in most grocery stores.
- Not sure if you have it where you are but ensure / fortisip drinks are 230-250 cal each.

Generally things like boost or ensure or benecalorie (BC isn't cheap though) will give you a high amount of nutrients in a small volume.
