Ensure shake powder drink suggestions

Hi thank you for the suggestion. My husband has this afternoon had a stent fitted so I look forward to making this for him. This is all so very new to us so we are just getting our heads around it all and I'm going to try anything that may help him. 

Hi Jeanie, yes it’s a minefield. My husband was diagnosed in May. he has been adding cream to soup too. Has eaten shepherds pie this week. It’s a start and build up slowly. Coke used to push somethings that were stuck but he finds it too painful. Coffee seems to work better. He has been adding honey and cream to Readybrek. Word of warning if you buy a nutribullet don’t put the blades in a dishwasher …. Please share any suggestions x

Thank you so much x

Hi Jubsyp 

I have a few suggestions if this is helpful. My mum has fortisip- they are roughly 300 kcal/ drink so if ensure is more feel free to ignore this all. She gets the mocha flavour of fortisip and she prefers it more strongly to be coffee flavoured so we add more coffee and make a basically iced latte. She also gets the juice version as she doesn’t like milk flavoured things or creamy stuff. They’re really sweet like squash. There’s orange/ tropical flavoured ones which are okay, and you can add normal OJ to them which makes them less sweet and more juice. I also reckon they’d be a decent base to smoothies but we’ve not tried them. 

Hiya, thank you for the suggestion. He despises the juice version of the Ensure nut it’s always good to know other brands and suggestions. As a nurse he always tried the drinks he was going to his patients, best wishes to you all x

Hi Jeanie hope all is going well. Made another version today.. Banana powder shake, full fat milk, teaspoon Nutella, whizzed and cream added.

Also slow cooked a corn beef stew with carrots, swede, parsnip, leek also cut up into small pieces, was good to see him eat , slowly but surely x
