Thank you chickadvisor
I try not to skip my breakfast but it happens, I tried the chocolate favor and really like it, easy to prepare and packed with so many vitamins and minerals, 18 in fact. Only 150 calories too.
I also grab a piece of fruit with it, when I am rushed in the mornings.
I was given a free sample of Carnation Breakfast Essentials - Chocolate from the Chickadvisor review club.
Overall, I thought it was a decent breakfast replacement.
Pros:
- Convenience is the big pro for me - easy breakfast that I can take on the go
- Chocolate flavour was good, kinda tasted like regular powdered chocolate milk
- Easy to toss a sachet in my bag and mix with milk later
Cons:
- I had some problems getting rid of all of the powdery lumps, and even when I made a conscious effort to get rid of them all some would elude me. Not yummy.
- I am a big breakfast eater, so I was definitely hungry before lunch and needed snacks.
J'ai aimé la saveur au chocolat. Les sachets individuels sont pratiques car on peut le savoir apporter et les consommer des qu'on a faim. Je le préfère avec du lait d'amande à la vanille non sucré , je n'ai pas essayé avec de l'eau !
I was very excited to receive Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder Drink Mix from ChickAdvisor to try for free. I start every day with a protein shake. I purchase my protein online and in addition to being costly, it also takes awhile to get to my door. I saw that the box noted a serving (i.e. a pouch) to contain 15g of protein. I figured that while it was a slightly lower protein content, it would be more affordable and accessible. Unfortunately, when I received the box in the mail, I was disappointed to find that the stated protein content was only when combined with 250mL of whole milk. I don't drink cow's milk. I use cashew milk. The package only contains 7g of protein. It also contains a whopping 21g of sugar! Yikes!
I set aside those nutritional facts and still gave it a try. Again, I was not impressed. The chocolate flavour was severely lacking in potency. I tried a couple of times. I forced myself to drink it but it was not palatable at all.
I would not buy this product, nor would I recommend it to anyone. I was highly disappointed.
Tres bon produit un tres bon supplement comme les gens comme moi qui dejeune pas le matin.tres bon au gout sa goute le lait chocolat je le recommande grandement
I received a box of carnation breakfast essential in chocolate for free from chickadvisor's Product Rewview Club. Here is my honest option on it.
A bit of backstory: the elevator at work is out of service for what will be a total of at least 3 months. Every morning is met with at least 133 stairs to climb. Due to this I, a previously breakfast skipper, has been ensuring I have something in the mornings to give me the strength to climb the stairs.
I am so happy that I got to try this product. I didn’t think a meal replacement powder/drink could be this good. This product is going to be my new best friend on the mornings I over sleep and don’t have time for a sit drown breakfast.
What I like ~
The taste: with a nice rich chocolate flavour it is just like drinking chocolate milk
Texture: I mix it with 2% milk and find it to be very creamy
Substance: with 15g of protein it keeps me feeling full and satisfied until lunch (about 5 hours later)
What I don’t like~
High amount of sugar - 21g
While it was very creamy the powder it took a lot of stirring and didn’t fully mix, there was a few small powder clumps
Conclusion: This is definitely a product I am going to keep on hand, though I am going to try to find the ligh one with less sugar to try.
I'm not a breakfast person so I often miss the most important meal of the day. With Breakfast Carnation Essentials Powder Drink Mix that doesn't have to happen anymore. They are quick and easy to make, and taste great! I can easily see myself having one every morning.
I received a box of carnation breakfast essential in chocolate for free from chickadvisor. It tastes better than it expected and no powder taste. It is perfect for a quick meal replacement.
I received a box of chocolate Carnation Breakfast Essentials to try as part of the chickadvisor product review club. it tastes good and i love that it has many nutrients in it. I really enjoy it and would probably buy it again.
I am very glad to be chosen to review this product! I regularly substitute breakfast for a protein shake or bar so this fit the bill. I really like how it mixed in easily and the taste was nice chocolate. Overall I was really please, it was a nice change from my usual products. I would purchase these again, the sugar vs protein ration isn't ideal but sometimes you don't feel like having a _protein_ shake you know?
