Dietitian critique time. I get asked about plant-based shakes constantly, so I sat down with the Ensure Plant-Based Vegan Protein Shake and went through it the way I’d go through any label at work.
This is Ensure’s plant-based option — vegan, and also gluten-free and dairy-free, which matters for a lot of the people I talk to who can’t do the regular dairy shakes.
In the video I walk through my honest critique, because “plant-based” on the front of the bottle doesn’t automatically mean anything. Watch that first if labels are your love language like they are mine.
What I Loved
- It’s a plant-based, vegan protein shake from a brand people already know
- Gluten-free and dairy-free, so it works for more people
- Gives folks who avoid dairy a ready-to-drink protein option
- It earned a full dietitian critique video, which I don’t do for products I find boring
Good to Know
- This is the plant-based formula — it’s a different product from the regular dairy Ensure shakes
- If you need dairy-free or gluten-free, double check you’re grabbing this version and not the original
