When we switched to Creon, we signed up for the nutritional drinks and vitamins; however, DS absolutely hates the Carnation Instant Breakfast VHC. He thinks I'm trying to feed him butter. They've also switched to Abbott, so now the beverages are Ensure based, which I really know he dislikes. So I ordered him some Enlive Juice Boxes. 200 calories a pop and he really seems to like them.

They don't have any fat in them, but do have protein. Also the label indicates cholesterol. Wondering if I need to give enzymes with these juice beverages if he gets them when not having a snack.

I do give enzymes for those "juice boxes" because of the protein. I usually dose like it's a snack. We have those as well, in apple flavor. My daughter does not like them right now(we go through phases).

We also have used Resource juice drink which is made by the makers of Boost(which she likes better, not sure why). But they I think are expired in my cabinet.

Anyway, my daughter gained ALOT of weight drinking those. We actually had to stop giving them to her. Then she got sick and lost like 4 pounds and our nutritionist said"THIS is exactly why we want our CF'ers to have a little padding"..

They were sitting on the front step when we got home last night and were quite cold. I tasted it and thought it was pretty good considering there's no juice in it whatsoever. DS sucked down the first one right away and half of another during his afterschool snack.
