I used to drink Ensures about 3 times a week and gained five pounds in 3 - 4 weeks. They're really helpful for weight gain! My favorite flavor was the vanilla... mmm!Health Question & Answer
Ensure is fine!
In my opinion, the best protein shakes are the ones you make at home with a blender. If you don't have a blender, you can find one pretty cheap at Wal-mart, Target, K-mart, etc. Purchase a good protein powder at a health food store. Mix a scoop of the powder with 1-cup milk , 1/2-cup plain yogurt, a banana, and other fruit--fresh or frozen. The shake will be healthy and delicious. You can make a million variations using different fruits, flavorings, instant coffee, chocolate syrup, etc. The web page below has lots of protein shake recipes.

They are mostly geared towards weight loss, so just change the skim milk for regular and the fat-free yogurt for regular. Enjoy!
