I did muscle milk and GNC Lean shakes while on my pre-op,, I don't think ensure was on my list.. I know it has protein but too much sugar for me..

Thanks,

But does muscle milk taste good or is it very heavy. I'm looking for something that is light in texture

I didn't care for Ensure. I tried many types of protein powder, but Designer Whey is my favorite. I buy the vanilla and then add a little sugar free pudding mix to change the flavors up. My favorite is vanilla protein powder, strawberries and a tsp. of sugar free cheesecake pudding mix blended with unsweetened almond milk. It tastes like a milkshake. You can make so many combinations by switching up the fruits and flavored puddings.

I loved the Ensure high protein. If you like a lighter texture, the EAS Advantage are good. I liked the strawberry especially.

I like muscle milk because it is light and the flavor is good. no weird aftertaste. but everyone's taste is different.

My Protein shakes were prescribed by the surgeon's office. He has us on Chike powder. Don't know about the others. Sorry, Karen..aka.kll724
