Oh no! Don't waste your money! It's absolutely horrible!
I have migraines, and sometimes I am unable to keep food down. I used to get into a lot of trouble because low blood sugar makes my migraines worse. I went to the doctor once to get a shot of painkiller and they couldn't give it to me because I hadn't had anything at all to eat in two days, and Gatorade just wasn't what I needed. My doctor told me a trade secret that day. Carnation Instant Breakfast, which I love, and which tastes great, actually has more nutrients in it than Ensure. It costs less, tastes better, and does more for your body.
Last time I checked, Carnation Instant did not come in quite as many flavors as Ensure. And who knows, you might like Ensure (I have tasted about 4 flavors, and was unable to do more than taste them), but I highly recommend the other. In many markets, it is only available in powder form, but that's really not a big deal. You can buy a pint of milk, tip the powder in, and shake the bottle up. There area several stores in our area that also sell it in the cans, but I always buy the powder, as I like to mix it myself.
For the record, I don't know anyone who has liked Ensure. My friend's grandmother was deathly ill, and the doctor said she needed something like that. She was only semi-conscious, and she refused it because of the taste, which gives you an idea of how bad it is. Go with the Carnation Instant, instead :)

Yes, I had it in the hospital. It's like a really creamy shake that's no longer frozen.

it's drinkable. not the most wonderful thing ever, but you won't gag either.
it has a kind of fatty feel to it.
