Paleo Spirit

Anybody else know people consuming Boost or Ensure?

An elderly relative recently told me they consume these products for breakfast most days to "get in protein, vitamins and minerals." My relative also explained since hospitals feed these products to patients they "must be healthy" because, "hospitals would never serve something that isn't healthy"...Hmm, sorry. I don't believe that. Much more likely it's because they are lower cost and easy to provide to patients.

Sadly, the ingredients are terrible: industrial seed oils, synthetic vitamins, corn syrups, soy protein (not ideal), gut microbiome-disrupting gums, etc...

They ARE easy to consume and the older you get the harder it is for your body to assimilate protein and you need to ingest more for the same impact. Therefore, it's understandable why someone would choose these products.

My recommendation: For convenience sake (or as supplementation to eating meat/organs) and especially if you have an older relative who needs more supplementation/easy-to-prepare proteins then consider:

Lineage Provisions protein powder (AB Complete) no junk, grass-fed beef isolate, organs for dense nutrition, fruit, maple syrup, coconut water. I've been mixing this in Greek yogurt or making it into a shake.
Equip "Prime Protein" is another great one (just protein) - love the taste.
OR
Essential Amino Acids: I use Bodyhealth's "Perfect Amino" which is a way of getting the amino acids you need without the calories. Can be used as a pre or post workout or anytime (I personally use it pre-workout to keep the aminos circulating during/after workouts).
These are my affiliate links w/ some discounts but these are products I use on a daily basis and highly recommend:
