    You can add carnation instant breakfast to Ensure to up the calories.

    Its all a matter of taste, I can smell Ensure before it gets in the room, no thank You.

    Strawberry Boost? Im ok.

    According to Labdoor.com, they are both mediocre at best for meal replacements.

    Work on incorporating more fat into your diet... even if that means eating peanut butter out of the jar.

    And if you're chasing Gains, nothing wrong with that at all..

    Eat it like a popsicle.

    The difference in calories is not worth it in my opinion. Boost tastes chalky and bad to me. I'm sure it will be fine mixed with ice cream though. :)
