After reading these chicks reviews I bought a package of the vanilla and chocolate Carnation Breakfast Essentials.
I preferred the chocolate to the vanilla, but that's pretty common for me.
As part of my get healthy plan, eating breakfast is something I have to try to do. This is an easy way to get a big nutrition keep calm in the morning, which will kick start my metabolism to help me lose a couple of pounds.

I would have loved to have gotten this product for free to review, because I LOVE it so much! I initially bought some of these 6 months ago, because I was concerned about getting enough iron in my diet. I tend to run anemic, and I hate taking pills for it. I'm also not the best about eating a well rounded breakfast, so thought this would kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. I'm glad that I did. I don't use them every day, more like once every 3 or 4 days, because I do want to be better about eating a healthy breakfast. But when I'm running behind to do that because I was called in to work short notice, or stayed up all night with a sick child or what have you, it's nice to have these handy as a back up plan so that I don't run myself ragged from not having enough nutrients in my system at the start of the day. Using these the way i do has honestly helped me to be healthier and have more energy because I am getting those vitamins and not neglecting breakfast altogether. A good product that I would recommend to any busy mom!

Très bon suppléments alimentaires, j'ai ajouté le sachet dans un smoothie afin d'avoir tout les nutriments. Je n'ai pas aimer le mélange seul (le goût ne m'as pas plus) mais mélanger avec autre chose ça va ^^

I #gotitfree thanks to Chick Advisor Product Review Club! I LOVED this product. I am not one to have big breakfasts in the morning due to time so this product was perfect for me. It literally takes 2 minutes (not even) to prepare and you can have it at home or on the go! Vanilla is the perfect flavor because you can mix it with chocolate milk or regular milk and it is not too overpowering. The average price is $7.99/box for 10 packs which to me is worth it for convenience. I would recommend this to all chick advisors! It is also jam packed with nutrients so it is like you are having a full meal. Will be buying #carnationbreakfastessentials again for sure!

My boyfriend has one most mornings before work. It's great when you're in a hurry. Vanilla's his favourite but not all stores carry this flavour. I personally would be starving if this was all I had for breakfast.

When i buy instant meal, I usually go for chocolate favor because I find it the "safer" flavor. So, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the vanilla flavor of this product even thought I previously had try it in his liquid form (Carnation also sells those instant breakfast all made/liquid form not powder) and enjoyed it.

The first time I prepared it, I mixed it and drank it right away. Compare to other protein powder and other instant powder meal, the Carnation is very easy to mix; it dilutes very easily and quickly.

The flavor is all right but compare to the already mixed one, it felt not thick enough... I finally found out that, if you let it sit for a few minutes after mixing it, the mix becomes thicker.

The only downside for me, is that one pouch (mix with 1 cup of milk), doesn`t make a satisfying breakfast. I have to add a banana to the mix or prepare 2 pouches for it to be sustainable until lunch time.

Overall, great product , good price, 10 portion in a box and they sell boxes with mixed flavor (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry)

I got this for free to try out, and loved it. It was easy to make, not clumpy at all. Not to mention it tasted great. It had a fantastic smell too. It was filling and didn't leave me hungry. Even my son drank it. Tasted like a milkshake.

Je n'avais jamais utilisé de substitut de repas aupravant et j'étais sceptique par rapport à leur efficacité. De plus je n'étais pas convaincu d'aimer le goût. Par contre, lorsque j'ai testé les Carnation Breakfast Powder Drink Mix à la vanille , j'ai tout de suite été convaincu. Un bon substitut de déjeuner! Mais, j'ai ajouté plus de lait que recommander puisque je trouvais la boisson un peu sucré à mon goût.

J'ai adorer la saveur et la texture du produits . Je mange rarement le matin et ce produit m'aide à tenir jusqu'au dîner . Habituellement le matin je ne mange pas du a mes mot de cœur , c'est donc difficile d'avoir de l'énergie en mâtiner, mais ce produit a beaucoup aider pour ce problème car il me donne de l’énergie et je ne souffre pas de la faim .

I have been drinking one every morning for breakfast. The vanilla is absolutely yummy and taste exactly like vanilla milkshake. It makes me feel like Iv had a nutritious meal. I am good to go until lunchtime. I'm very impressed :)
