Good taste; protein promotes healing; half-hour in freezer improves taste; way too expensive
I expected this to taste bad because it's so low in sugar, but it's actually good. A lower price is sorely needed, which is why I deducted one star. Frankly, this is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Coupons are sometimes available, but you can't rely on those if you need more than one four-pack (frankly, coupons waste time, and they're just a lame excuse for manufacturers to not lower their prices). If you have someone battling wounds, protein greatly promotes healing, and a smart nurse told me that this protein is just as good as any other source. So, the high price is just something you'll have to live with if a loved one needs this for healing. I'm not a cheapskate, but this is way to pricey (oh, right, already said that, but it does need repeating) Like all the other Ensure drinks, I put this in the freezer for half an hour or so as it tastes better when a bit slushy. The strange paper-like packaging is unique and saves space, but I doubt it's recyclable because the paper box likely has multiple layers, including plastic and aluminum (think of snack bags with their metallicized liner for keeping out oxygen for long shelf life). Some buyers might want more flavors, but these two are excellent choices. If you want a coffee flavor (with a slight bite) along with the caffeine of one cup of coffee, go with the Cafè Mocha. If you want a basic flavor without caffeine, go with the Milk Chocolate, which is more expensive (at 25¢/drink) for some strange reason. Again, this is an excellent choice for someone who has to heal as protein greatly aids healing. Hopefully, the price will come down, or a lower-priced Brand X will appear.
