Ensure Max Protein Review

Ensure Max Protein Café Mocha Nutrition Shake is a ready-to-drink shake from Ensure, positioned as targeted nutrition with 30 grams of high-quality protein to help build muscle and satisfy hunger, along with nutrients to support immune health. Each serving provides high-quality protein to help keep muscles strong and satisfy hunger, along with other key nutrients the body needs. According to the page, each ready-to-drink shake contains 30 grams of high-quality protein to support muscles, 1 gram of sugar, 25 essential vitamins and minerals, and a 4 gram comfort fiber blend with a prebiotic. Each shake provides 150 nutritious calories. The shake includes caffeine, described as as much as a cup of coffee, and is a blend of espresso flavor and chocolate flavor. The page lists the product as gluten-free, suitable for lactose intolerance, halal and kosher. The lactose note carries a footnote that it is not for people with galactosemia. The page links to a two-day meal plan for Ensure Max Protein. An asterisk note says the doctor-recommendation claim refers to doctors who recommend liquid nutritional products to their patients, and a survey note describes 1,038 consumers aged 50 and over who drank one Ensure Max Protein shake per day for 14 days and reported feeling more energy compared with a control group. The page also states that Ensure Max Protein has 150 calories, 30 grams of protein and 8 B vitamins for energy metabolism. The page says the product is available in several flavors, including Café Mocha, Milk Chocolate with Caffeine, Milk Chocolate, Creamy Strawberry, French Vanilla, Creamy Peach and Cherry Cheesecake. A comparison table on the page sets Ensure Max Protein against Ensure High Protein, showing a serving size of 11 ounces versus 8 ounces, 30 grams versus 16 grams of high-quality protein, 150 versus 160 calories, 1 gram versus 4 grams of sugar, and 4 grams versus 19 grams of net carbs for the vanilla version of High Protein. Max Protein lists 25 vitamins and minerals against 27 for High Protein. The FAQ advises one to two servings per day, and notes that drinking more than two servings may provide too much protein and too few carbohydrates and calories. Pregnant or lactating women are advised to have no more than one serving per day of the Café Mocha or Milk Chocolate with caffeine versions because of the caffeine content of 100 mg per serving. Anyone with renal failure or chronic kidney disease is told to consult a healthcare professional. The page also shows 92 percent of 981 reviewers recommending the product.
