I used this as a supplement for additional caloric intake. It has excellent taste and very easy to swallow. I add fruit to the shake for additional fiber. Will purchase again.

Pros:
Curbs Appetite.
Boosts Energy.
Goes Down Easy.
Good Taste.
Why was the chocolate discontinued? That was the only flavor I enjoyed. The vanilla is too sweet and the Strawberry is for kids. As a CF adult and a Registered dietitian I would recommend it to many of my patients always talking about how good the chocolate flavor was. Now I can't do that anymore. I will still recommend it to others, but I don't think I will be purchasing it for myself anymore.

Describe Yourself:
Mom to a CF patient.
This was recommended by my son's CF clinic and we use about 2-3 packets a day for him. We don't quite mix it with 8oz of milk at a time, so we divide the packets in half and mix with milk and strawberry syrup for the best taste. This has kept my son in the 50th percentile for his height/weight which is right where he needs to be on his CF charts. We tried Instant Carnation Breakfast, but that made him constipated. Scandishake is wonderful and is literally a life-saver for my son. We only use the vanilla so we can flavor to taste, or keep as-is. He loves it!

We used this product for my husband while he was a cancer patient. Using a hand held blender, mix one package, 1 cup whole milk and 1 cup ice cream (any flavor). Instant 800-900 calories. Tastes good. This was recommended by a dietician at the hospital and was a life saver many days. (Mixing well is key!)
by Ina from Virginia
BOTTOM LINE No, I wouldn't recommend this to a friend

Can this be mixed with water or almond milk? No dairy or sugar permitted. Cancer patient needs to gain weight.

Yes to both but I can imagine adding it to water would alter the flavor and might not be "drinkable". Plus added calories from milk would be best if using this to gain/maintain weight. They are grainy if not mixed well so I often use a blender to get the drink to an optimal consistency.

If your patient has dietary restrictions, it is crucial that you always read all product ingredients. This product's ingredients list "sugar" "corn syrup solids" and "nonfat milk". This would not be an appropriate supplement for anyone who needs to avoid sugar or dairy.

I used Scandishake with milk or almond milk. Add fresh fruit for added flavor, as well as ice cream, which also adds more calories.

I, too, wished I could order it in chocolate. But I found that if I mix the vanilla with chocolate milk or a non-dairy chocolate "milk," it tastes great!

This has been asked and am hoping for a 'yes' answer: I've seen it advertised as 'Lactose Free' yet, I can't seem to find a site to order LF. Has it been discontinued?
