Ensure Original Therapeutic Nutrition Shake FAQs
Are Ensure products to be used as a meal replacement or a snack?
Yes, Ensure ready-to-drink shakes and drinks can be used as a snack and as an occasional meal replacement.
Can Ensure products be warmed or frozen?
Yes, Ensure ready-to-drink shakes and drinks can be warmed before use. We recommend using more gentle warming techniques that do not reach boiling, such as short duration, low-power microwaving in a microwave-safe container or placing an open container in a hot water bath. If intending to consume the product frozen, we recommend transferring into a freezer-save storage container with a lid that will accommodate a larger space for the product to expand during freezing.
Once opened, how long can Ensure products be kept out at room temperature? In the refrigerator?
Once a bottle of Ensure ready-to-drink shakes and drinks have been opened, it should be used or refrigerated within four hours. The remaining product should be used or discarded after 48 hours.
Can Ensure products be mixed with fruit? What impact does this have on the nutritional value?
Yes, different fruits can be added to Ensure ready-to-drink shakes and drinks to make a smoothie or a shake. Fruits tend to be high in certain essential vitamins and can contain a moderate amount of calories depending on the amount used. Adding fruit can increase the vitamin and total calorie content of the finished product.
