Clear Mixed Fruit Nutritional Drink | 8g Protein, 15 Vitamins & Minerals | Fat-Free | Ready to-Drink | Refreshing Taste | 10 fl oz, 12 Pack

I've been trying several options to add some variety to upcoming pre/post-op period where I will be on all liquids (not even mashed potatos or grits!) for over a week. I'm really sensitive to artificial flavors so that has made it a bigger challenge for me. I tried Boost Clear, which I believe has more vitamins in it than Ensure and also has "natural flavors" but the downside was an intense vitamin aftertaste with every sip. A lot of people love it. I do not. I do like the Ensure. Perhaps a bit less vitamins/minerals is good if it makes it more drinkable. For overall nutrition I use Kate Farms (organic and a nutrition bomb) but I can't drink those alone for over a week. Ensure is really sweet but when you are desperate for calories and nutrition, and a bit of variety, it works. I will probably keep it around long term, post surgery, especially during summer months. Easy enough to add a couple ice cubes if you want it less sweet. If you have an elderly family member who needs more vitamins and hydration, ask his/her doctor about this. It was on the list recommended by my surgeon for 'clear fluids'. It is NOT sugar free, just to be clear. OH and, LOL, to the people worried about the red color, it IS clear. Unless your doctor said colorless, as in water, this IS a clear, ie thin & see thru, product. "Clear" is not necessarily colorless and it isn't going to be red all the way thru your digestive system so if your own doctor recommended it don't worry about the red color.

Really nice, easy-on-the-tummy nutritional drink for people with sensitive stomachs. I tried these for the first time when I was admitted to the hospital a couple months ago, the staff noticed I was struggling to finish my meals and started giving me these twice a day. Absolutely love them. The price IS a bit steep, but worth it in my opinion. I think there's another review describing them as tasting a bit like a thicker Kool aid or fruit punch and I have to agree with that description. The apple flavor doesnt taste too far off from regular apple juice so thats a nice option too. I have learned NOT to shake them or else they get frothy at the top lol, and that is apparently from the protein in them. Definitely a good way to get some extra calories, protein and nutrients on days when I'm struggling with food.

tried the Ensure Clear Mixed Fruit Nutritional Drink and found it to be a good alternative to heavier shakes. It’s light, refreshing, and easy to drink, especially if you don’t like creamy textures. The mixed fruit flavor is pleasant and not overly thick. It’s also helpful for getting extra calories and nutrients when you don’t feel like eating much.

Great drink when you can only have clear liquids, like before surgery. Tastes fruity, best cold or on ice.

Great tasting. Wish there were more flavors available. Due to medications berries, grape fruit and pomagranete are not allowed.

I love these. I can't drink the creamy ones due to the dairy in it. But, these don't bother my stomach at all and are quite tasty

I personally am not a fan of the taste. It’s sort of a koolaid but thicker. However my kid has ARFID and we’ve tried what feels like a million different drinks. A friend of mine with autism told me this one worked for them so I chucked my first $30 out the window. It’s a huge relief that my daughter drinks them. They don’t seem to be tough on their tummy, and they def have more energy (although with ARFID it’s sort of all or nothing and I’d assume eating/drinking something with calories would have that effect.) My biggest issue is the cost. How much can it possibly cost to make slightly nutritious koolaid? I would guess not $2+ per bottle. For most people there’s much better cost alternatives but for us there just aren’t so I am grateful for it. Double bummer we used to qualify for snap but the orange Cheeto in charge ruined that too so now I’m paying for these out of pocket while trying to afford standard groceries for everyone else . You’d think we could at least use an hsa/fsa but nope.

I love this flavor of the Ensure Clear drinks. It's not a thick consistency. It's at a very affordable price and work the price, easy to digest and the nutritional value is awesome. Again, this drink is not thick or chalky and a very good quality nutritional drink.
