Ensure Max Protein Shake, 30g Protein, Birthday Cake, 11 fl oz, 4 Pack

I already know I like Ensure Max Protein shakes, so I was excited to try the Birthday Cake flavor. It has that sweet vanilla-and-cake-batter type of flavor that makes it feel more like a treat than a typical protein shake. The flavor is definitely sweeter than some of the other Ensure Max Protein varieties I've had, but I actually enjoy that when I'm in the mood for something dessert-like. I like drinking these cold, and the chilled Birthday Cake flavor is especially good. You still get the nutrition I look for from the Max Protein line: 30 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and just 1 gram of sugar in an 11-ounce bottle. I've also used Ensure Max Protein in ways other than simply drinking it. I have used the shakes in baking and even as a milk substitute in some recipes, so having another flavor gives me more options. The Birthday Cake flavor would be particularly fun in desserts where I want that extra vanilla-cake flavor. The 4-pack is a nice way to try the flavor without committing to a huge case. If you're already a fan of Ensure Max Protein and like sweeter, dessert-inspired flavors, Birthday Cake is a fun addition to the lineup.

Ensure is a bit pricey, however it is chock full of all things good for any adult human's health. There are also usually some pretty good coupons out there, if you get everyone you know looking for them! The flavors are low key, which I like better than a strong flavor. I try to take a good vitamin along with Ensure Pro Max, (the Cadillac of their line) because I never know where all the good vitamins might be leaking out of my aging body!!
