If nutrition is a problem let me tell you about Scandi-Shakes. 600 calories per 8 oz. of milk. Choc. Strawberry or Vanilla. With the vanilla the flavors are endless. They don't taste mediciny at all. You can buy them online or by phone 1-800-472-2634.I mix them with ice cream for my husband and that adds about 200 more calories. They taste good and my hubby says they sooth the tumor area. He also lived on them when going thru chemo and rad.
