Preparation
Empty one sachet of Ensure Shake into a glass or shaker.
For a compact style drink: Measure 100 ml whole milk. Add a little milk to the powder, mix with a fork until smooth.
For a longer drink: Measure 200 ml (1/3 pint) whole milk. Add a little milk to the powder, mix with a fork until smooth.
Add the remaining milk and stir until smooth.
For a frothy shake, use a shaker or electric blender. Try with warm (not boiled) milk as an alternative. Ensure Shake can also be mixed with semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, or water. If preparing Ensure Shake with liquids other than whole milk, the nutritional profile will vary.
Ensure Shake vanilla flavour can be used as a tasty alternative to milk in rice pudding and on cereal. You could also try Ensure Shake chocolate flavour as an alternative to milk, or try heating it for a delicious hot drink – just be careful not to let it boil as this may affect some of the nutrients. You could add some little marshmallows too!

The R-MAPP app is an adaptation of the R-MAPP (Remote – Malnutrition APP)1 guidance created by European experts in clinical nutrition in response to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis as a tool for the remote evaluation of nutritional status for COVID-19 outpatients, those in the recovery phase of the disease and for all patients that need nutritional care, but cannot visit their physicians in person. It could be suitable for every situation in the future that might limit the availability of healthcare system to broaden scope.
