Drink This, Not That

Chocolate is the best, it could actually pass for a shake, if you liked your shakes gummy and metallic-y. Now since I'm reduced to soft foods, Ensure has become a main food group. The plastic bottle is the way to go, otherwise you get a mouthful of chalk-aluminum frappe. Vanilla is growing on me, but I will never dare try butter pecan. Why do my tastes in drink mirror those of an 86 year old lady? I think my affinity for Ensure dates to way back in the day when four teeth were extracted to fit braces with those detestable rubber bands ensnaring the uppers and lowers. Just thinking about it makes me go ouch. But Ensure parties? That's a bit much. Especially when Ensure Plus has 350 cal per 8 oz!
Slim Fast seems more worth it, since it's 190 cal per 11 oz, but it's got bulky fillers to fool you into feeling full, and really that just feels like indigestion.
Boost, even though from respectable Novartis, tastes like oversweet candy blended with powdered milk.
Someone said Glucerna is less sweet, that makes sense, so maybe that'll be next to try.
The absolute worst is Atkins Ready to Drink shake. It's so gross. It tastes like watered down Ensure, now with Extra Metal Powder. It's worse than Muscle Milk, which has been known to cause digestive tract dilemmas.
Now that you've got your nutritional management cocktail in hand, Cheers!
