Cereal Question, and I hope somebody has experience with this.

Mom's doctor is pretty insistent she drink Ensure protein drinks. I had ordered her some from Sam's (the strawberry ones she likes; 24 for like 34 dollars), but they were only 9g. She had to drink two a day.

So today, I found some of the 16g ones, but they were like more than 2 dollars each in a pack of six.

I'm not sure why the doctor is insistent it is Ensure. I mean, the Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks are much less expensive and the protein in there is on par with the Ensure.

What am I missing here? Mom said she doesn't really care about the flavor if the cost difference is that much less, and I agree with that.
Do me a favor the next time you have a question and just ask fawking know it all. And do it in a different forum, that'd be great. Thanks.
 
Gordo, not the answer you were looking for, but when I was helping take care of my Papaw when he had cancer and chemo was kicking his a**, the doctors were adamant about Ensure and not the other brands. They said other brands would work, but not as well

Well mom said that was the only one the doctor mentioned. She has to call the doctor tomorrow about something else. I think I will have her ask if that's the only option before getting something different.
I was in the situation that I was sort of in a hurry and stopped at the Ingle's there in BC. And I checked the recept: 14.99 for six, so it was actually like 2.50 each there.
I like that store, but sometimes they are high, as you know.
 
What about Wally World?
They're like $1 less than Amazon, but Walmart usually only has Cookies and cream, Vanilla and Peaches and cream. I like the cookies and cream but not the other 2. Well, actually I never tried the vanilla. Amazon has errthangs. Banana and cream is my favorite. I just bought 2 cases last week. They were $26.88 each I think.
 
Some good info here...



Moreover, Ensure is often recommended by healthcare professionals as a source of complete and balanced nutrition. Its carefully formulated blend of vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients makes it a reliable option for individuals who may have difficulty obtaining adequate nutrition from their regular diet alone. Whether it's for individuals recovering from surgery, older adults with decreased appetite, or those with medical conditions that affect their ability to eat, Ensure provides a convenient solution to maintain optimal nutrition.
