Very sweet but very good nutrition add on for folks with limited ability to eat solid food.
I've been trying several options to add some variety to upcoming pre/post-op period where I will be on all liquids (not even mashed potatos or grits!) for over a week. I'm really sensitive to artificial flavors so that has made it a bigger challenge for me. I tried Boost Clear, which I believe has more vitamins in it than Ensure and also has "natural flavors" but the downside was an intense vitamin aftertaste with every sip. A lot of people love it. I do not. I do like the Ensure. Perhaps a bit less vitamins/minerals is good if it makes it more drinkable.For overall nutrition I use Kate Farms (organic and a nutrition bomb) but I can't drink those alone for over a week.Ensure is really sweet but when you are desperate for calories and nutrition, and a bit of variety, it works. I will probably keep it around long term, post surgery, especially during summer months. Easy enough to add a couple ice cubes if you want it less sweet.If you have an elderly family member who needs more vitamins and hydration, ask his/her doctor about this. It was on the list recommended by my surgeon for 'clear fluids'. It is NOT sugar free, just to be clear.OH and, LOL, to the people worried about the red color, it IS clear. Unless your doctor said colorless, as in water, this IS a clear, ie thin & see thru, product. "Clear" is not necessarily colorless and it isn't going to be red all the way thru your digestive system so if your own doctor recommended it don't worry about the red color.Ver másVer menos
