Ensure and Boost are very expensive and not at all satisfying. And
any soppliment purchased from a Nutrition Center Store is going to be
way over priced. Carnation and Nestle breakfast powder is available
from any ordinary stupidmarket, they are excellent products at very
reasonable prices. Add a couple Tlbs to fresh fruit smoothies,
there's a zillion combos... and I like to spike mine with a glug or
two of rum.
