Answer 1

Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or chocolate milk mix.

Answer 2

First, let me congratulate you on being such a smart girl.

Now Ensure contains about 250 calories in a serving.

So does Carnation Instant Breakfast mix.  You take a glass of whole milk, add a pkg. of whichever flavor of Instant Breakfast YOU like, and then you can make it into a smoothie with your favorite add ins (maybe banana, or peanut butter or fruit) and you're drinking something that's a good source of protein and tastes Wayyyyy better than Ensure.

My grandma's doctor told her this information.  Please show your parents the website below, for carnation instant breakfast so they will not worry that you're finding a substitute.  You're finding a more delicious equivalent.

Here are the flavors of Carnation Instant Breakfast Powder.  It also comes in ready to serve bottles, but I don't like them as well.

Classic Chocolate Malt

Classic French Vanilla

Dark Chocolate

Rich Milk Chocolate

Strawberry Sensation

So what are your favorite flavors?  And what kind of delicious smoothies can you make out of the carnation instant breakfast?

I LOVE LOVE this one:

Ingredients:

1 cup vanilla or plain soy milk (or whole milk)

1 packet Rich Milk Chocolate Flavor NESTLÉ CARNATION INSTANT BREAKFAST Complete Nutritional Drink

1/3 cup ice cubes

1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter

Directions:

PLACE soy milk, Carnation Instant Breakfast, ice and peanut butter in blender; cover. Blend until smooth.

Try them all!

Answer 3

Make a milkshake w/ Ensure:  1 can + a coulple scoops ice cream

The best flavors of Ensure are Butter Pecan, Coffee, and Eggnog.  They are harder to find, but a pharmacy should be able to order them for you.

Oh, and Sustacal tastes better than Ensure for the Straw, Van, and Choc flavors for exactly the same nutrition.  You can also mix Ensure/Sustacl w/ instant pudding and eat it that way.  (make sure Ensure is cold)

Answer 4

Add some sugar to your Ensure.  Or a flavored syrup.  The Ensure has protein and vitamins as well as calories, but in your case (and my mother's) the extra calories from the sugar or other flavorings can only help.  

If you're using the chocolate flavored Ensure, add Hershey's chocolate syrup or that sort of thing or Nesquick.

If you're using the strawberry flavored Ensure, add Strawberry syup or chop up some real strawberries or even some strawberry jam.

If you're using the vanilla flavored Ensure, try adding any fruits that you enjoy.  Just chop them up.
