I must have remembered the wrong name.

I'm 22, so that certainly isn't old or it isn't anymore. (It was old when I was in high school. :smile: )

Normally those who ask for Ensure are 40+.

Don't take any offense, but... you're stupid. :rolleyes:

My daughter was drinking Ensure when she was 17. She just wanted something quick and low volume. She didn't want to eat a lot.

Oh, I forgot - leftover pizza makes a good breakfast - 2 slices - microwave - splash on hot sauce - eat. :biggrin:

Leftover lasagna or spanakopita are also good for breakfast.

I'm just going with the majority. Just like Prune juice.

I thought about it myself before because it's easy and simple.
