I have to admit that I’ve been a bit hesitant to try protein drinks. So many of my friends use them to supplement their nutrition, but not me. That is until now. These Ensure Max Protein Shakes changed my mind.

Since I work at home and help my mom with her caregiving needs, I admit I get busy and sometimes put my own needs on the bottom of the list. Self-care, including good nutrition, is so important and I need to make it a priority.

Have you considered protein drinks?

It seems I am not alone.  The numbers back this up: more than 1 in 3 adults over 50 still aren’t getting the protein they need daily, according to new National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from researchers at Abbott and the Ohio State University.

Since I have a strong love of chocolate milk, it was easy for me to give the Ensure Max Protein Milk Chocolate Nutrition Shake a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted. The Ensure protein drinks are delicious and convenient to grab and go.

My nieces and I headed out to our local Walmart this past weekend and I was able to grab both new flavors of Ensure Max Protein. Plus you can save $2 on your purchase through the Ibotta App

You can drink Ensure Max Protein Nutrition Shakes straight from the carton or pour them over ice. The colder the better, in my opinion!

30 grams of high-quality protein to support your muscles
