Ensure (Targeted, Specialized Nutrition - High Protein Shake - Homemade Vanilla, 28 oz (1 serving(s))

Use a smaller serving (for example, 8–12 oz rather than the full 28 oz) and drink it slowly over 30–60 minutes instead of all at once.

Have the shake with a source of fat and fiber, such as chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, or avocado, to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach; have it after or alongside a balanced meal containing protein and non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or peppers.

Choose a lower-sugar or reduced-carbohydrate Ensure option when available, and compare the total carbohydrate and added-sugar amounts on the label.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking the shake, if this is safe for you.

If you use insulin or glucose-lowering medication, track your response to different serving sizes and discuss repeated spikes with your clinician before changing your medication.
