Funny, I haven't had a milkshake since...
Now I'm jonesing on salads.

Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | There is a world of difference in taste between Ensure and Ensure Plus. I can't stand Ensure but still drink 1/2 can Ensure Plus for breakfast. Just stay away from the strawberry. It's awful. The coffee, vanilla, and butter pecan (sweet) were what I liked. Carnation Instant Breakfast is also good.
Take care,
