I know how hard it is to put that first something in your stomach in the morning! almost everything makes you sick, but if you don't put something in your stomach it's just going to get worse. let me tell you, these ensure clear drinks are a lifesaver. it is a clear, juice flavored protein nutritional drink. it settles my stomach when no food or anything solid or dairy like can. I strongly suggest the blueberry pomegranate flavor, the others i think are too sweet.
