You mentioned adding carnation instant breakfast to his milk. I drink chocolate milk which is 400 calories a pint. To add more caloies I add a scoop of the instant breakfast which makes it now 530 calories for the pint. I do taste the difference, and its thicker too. But it sure tastes alot better than boost or ensure. Since your hubby's taste isnt quite what it should be, wouldnt hurt to give it a try.
