Ways to make Ensure more palatable?

Hi everyone,

Well, my 88-yr-old father is now installed in our home and the transition was pretty smooth. But he's a very sick man, and has almost completely lost his appetite. I'm a good cook, and he'll pick at solid food, but the dr. says we've got to get more calories into him somehow--and he needs more protein. I got some Ensure and mixed it with ice cream, but he says it's too sweet (often complains of things being too sweet).

Does anyone have any tips about how to make Ensure more appealing? (I tasted a spoonful and it's pretty ghastly).

Thanks for your help!
