I ordered the vanilla pudding for my 86 year old Mom who chokes on most foods (even water) and has had trouble swallowing for years. She got so she didn't want to eat because it was so hard to do and she was down to 72 pounds (that's not a typo, and she's 5'4"). She recently was in the hospital and had a lung scan which showed serious scarring of her lungs and was sent home with a "prescription" to eat Ensure pudding. I was on Amazon that night looking up Ensure pudding.A couple days later she received the pudding. Here's her texts to me (yep, she texts; lol). "Pudding just came in and I'm eating one. Um good. I will have another. Thank You!" I asked the next day if she had eaten any more and she replied "Oh yes and more this eve. Yum!". I asked if she would eat butterscotch and chocolate; "Oh yes. Love all flavors". I asked if it was easy for her to eat; "Yes that is the consistency I can eat." YAY! Later I asked my sister if Mom was still eating it (Mom is now living with her) and she said yes.So now I'm gonna be ordering butterscotch and chocolate also. Yes, it's expensive stuff but Mom can eat it and hopefully she'll gain some weight.I used to eat this pudding a few years ago when I was constantly in the hospital. I am happy to have found it again on Amazon. I have recently been experiencing loss of appetite, and this is a quick, easy way to supplement my diet and add calories and nutrients which I otherwise might miss. Personally, I like the vanilla flavor. It tastes better cold, but I like it at room temperature also. I can see how some people might not like it; it tastes a bit different from the vanilla pudding most people are used to eating. I would suggest getting a smaller order first to see if you like it. If not, the chocolate version is also very good. It tastes more like regular pudding. I've never tried butterscotch because I absolutely hate that flavor. Eat it in moderation unless you need a lot of calories, though. In my experience, it is more effective than the shakes. This stuff really works and will have you gaining weight in no time.Smooth and tastyEssential for those who need the boost but when the drink is not an option. Wish they were sold in stores as delivery is about a week out so plan ahead.We give this pudding in a warm milk diluted form for easier swallowing. It is given on a daily basis as a nightly snack.Costs are high through some other Healthcare providers and is approved through your Doctor with failure to thrive.I ordered three cases so far. The third case was tasting gritty for my elderly mother. I originally gave this one star. However the company asked if I would like to try another case and we did. It was perfect according to my mother. She said it tasted just like the first two. She eats two of these a day for her weight and it has really helped. So thank you for helping us !my 90 year old mother was given this pudding when she was in the hospital 6 months ago recovering from surgery. She needed to gain weight and add protein to her diet. She fell in love with it! I have been buying it for her ever since - she eats at least one pack a day. Very pleased with the product and well worth the price to keep Mom happy and provide needed nourishment!!!
