Ensure Brand Healthy Mom Shakes

[Neva]

Hey,

I went to motherhood the other day and bought something.

They tossed some samples in my bag and one thing was a bottle of the Ensure brand Healthy Mom shakes. It comes in two flavos vanilla and chocolate. This one was vanilla.

I scanned the ingredients and saw only one thing that made me wonder and it was the "flavors." Then, today I was craving a sweet snack...and I took the bottle to look up the brand on the computer. As I was searching I was scanning the bottle and noticed "Lactose and Gluten free!"

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

And it was pretty good for a sweet snack that is so nutritious!

I wondered how much they cost. I called my local supermarket and the lady said they have them but she doesn't know how much but that they come in packs of four and are probably five dollars and change or more.

That's a bit pricey but I guess it depends on your need, circumstance and need for convenience.

Anyway, was excited to have the free treat so wanted to pass it on!!

Hey Erica

I have a four-pack of those in my fridge right now! They are tasty and like you said, the bottle reads "gluten free" right on the label. I mainly drink them on days that I feel my nutrition or vitamins may be lacking. Vanilla is my favorite...although I do buy the chocolate from time to time (they're good too). They are a bit pricey...so I limit myself to one four-pack a week (unless a nutrition problem arises). Enjoy your find! -Julie

I wish I liked the vanilla better!!!

I am such a choco-holic!!!

If I don't see them at the store before I hear from you, how much were they ???

The cost depends on where you buy them!

I buy them at Kroger usually (a southern grocery chain) for about 4.99. But Kroger does have sales...so one week I got them for 3.99. Not to bad.

Publix (another grocery store), on the other hand, charged 6.99!

I would also check Wal-Mart and compare prices at your local grocery....don't get suckered into paying 6.99! What a rip-off!

Ensure also has 1.00 off coupons found in some pregnancy magazines and from the company itself...if you're interested in writing them. That should bring your price down to 2.99-3.99.

Hope this helps! -Julie

I noticed they have a mini-fridge in my doctor's office waiting room full of them (free to try). I tried the chocolate and I loved it! Just like chocolate milk. They sound pricey, but would be a good treat or booster when needed!
