Nutrients

Ensure Plus shakes provide you with 350 calories and 13 grams of protein in each 8 fluid ounce can. A single serving contains 24 essential vitamins and minerals, which is the amount of vitamins and minerals the body needs based on a diet that contains 2,000 calories per day. Ensure Plus can also help promote better heart health as it includes 650 milligrams of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids called alpha-linolenic acid.

Serving Ensure Plus

Ensure Plus works the same as other liquid nutrition supplements and should be well shaken before consuming. You can serve it cold or over ice if you want a cooler more refreshing taste. Since Ensure Plus is a rich source of concentrated calories you can even use it as a meal replacement. If you wish to use these shakes aside from meal times, we suggest that you use it between meals or after a meal to prevent decreasing your appetite for a proper meal.

Another tip is that you can use Ensure Plus milk to make smoothies, milk shakes, cream-based soups, casseroles, and any other milk-based recipe. This will help you boost the calories, protein, and nutrients in simple meals.

Remember that even though Ensure Plus is available without prescription, it should not take the place of a healthy diet and regular exercise to help you stay healthy over all. It should complement your diet and should not be seen as the sole source of your nutrition, unless you are under medical supervision and must do so upon your physician’s recommendation.
