    J'ai bien aimé , il suffit de mélanger rapidement avec du lait pour les matins pressés, un peu sucré pour moi mais de temps en temps je ne déteste pas ça du tout.

    This is an awesome product for rushed mornings. It not only tastes good but is full of nutrients and contains 15 g of protein which keeps you full for a while. Really enjoying this product and probably would buy again.

    I received this product for free for reviewing purposes.

    These powder packs are super convenient and taste great! They make it so easy for us to eat a small meal while we're on the go. My spouse likes his mixed with regular milk, while I like mine with almond milk. The real milk mixed a lot smoother than my way though. I #gotitfree from Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest review.

    Like a lot of people, I myself have little time for breakfast and I often have to prepare it the night before or take my breakfast on the go. The greatest thing about this product is its convenience. It's easy to prepare and the powder dissolves fully in the milk so you're not left with clumps of powder in your drink. It tastes great - basically tastes like chocolate milk. Breakfast should be protein-packed to prevent you from getting hungry earlier so this product does provide a source of protein - 15g but only when added to milk. If added to water, you would get much less protein.

    Based on the packaging, it looks to be advertised as a breakfast substitute and while it does provide protein and several minerals and vitamins, this by itself is not enough to constitute a well-balanced breakfast. It doesn't provide enough protein unless you double the portion but this means you're also doubling the sugar. The sugar content in one sachet is already high so whatever benefits you get from the protein and minerals is offset by the sugar.

    While I wouldn't recommend it as a breakfast substitute, it's great as a between-meal snack. I sometimes get hungry mid-afternoon so instead of reaching for high-carb treats like chips or crackers, this makes a great alternative since it contains protein and quickly fills you up. While I wouldn't resort to drinking this on a daily basis, I would take it once in a while as a snack specially if I'm having cravings for sweet stuff.

    The Carnation Breakfast Powder (chocolate) has a good taste and is a quick breakfast option. Altough it's a bit too sweet for my taste, those with a sweeter tooth will appreciate this morning treat. Disclosure: #gotitfree

    Bon déjeuner quand on manque de temps. Avec sa teneur élevé en proteine , il comble l'appétit jusqu'au diner. La seule chose que j'aime moins de ce produit c'est qu'il goute beaucoup les vitamines

    I recieved this sample box of carnation breakfast essentials free. I began using the it the first day I recieved it. I loved the taste, the chocolate doesn't taste fake. The texture is amazing, it was so easy to prepare and I noticed right away that it gave me energy first thing in the morning. I blended mine with a banana and milk and drank it everyday. I'm not a breakfast person as I find that eating first thing in the morning makes me feel sluggish so this was perfect for me. I will most likely purchase the product again when I see it on sale as the price is a little to steep to buy at regular price

    Le lait Carnation me dépanne lors de matins très pressés. Je sais que je peux compter sur ce lait afin de me fournir l'apport nécessaire pour bien débuter ma journée . Merci Carnation d'offrir des produits pour les matins pressés d'une maman avec de jeunes enfants.
