I had mixed up one of these for breakfast one morning because I needed something quick, yet tasty and filling all at the same time. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised when I drank it! The vanilla flavour tasted just like a vanilla shake/ice cream, minus all that awful stuff included. With 18g of protein, it kept me full and not hungry for a solid 6 hours. Taste and texture was smooth and creamy, easy to drink and best made (in my opinion), with very cold milk. The individual packets make for easy transport, just as long as you're somewhere there's milk available. You could probably even make one the night before and put it in the fridge; just shake/stir again before drinking. Heck, I would even dare say you could drink this ANY time of the day, as it has a ton of vitamins and minerals that a lot of us are missing. I even felt a little more energized after drinking this. With not a lot of calories, this is also a bonus. Do I recommend this? Yes, yes and yes.

Overall, a very great tasting product that'll be sure to please your tastebuds. If you're looking for something different, or simply don't have time to make breakfast, try "Carnation Breakfast Essentials". It comes in Vanilla and Chocolate.

I was really excited to try this product when it arrived in the mail (and even more so I got Vanilla). The box itself had a bunch of loose powder kicking around and made a bit of a mess, but it didn't appear that any of the packages were broken. Once I tried the product I was pretty amazed. Skeptical about it coming in powder form, to my enjoyment the drink was not chunky, or gritty at all, it blended perfectly with the milk and was smooth as butter. I couldn't tell you what "true" vanilla tastes like, but I found the taste to be very appealing, and actually wanted to have a 2nd one (but stopped myself). I had this with a banana for breakfast and was quite satisfied until lunch time. The price is very reasonable against comparable products on the market. All in all when this box is done I would definitely buy it again, would be great for my road trip this summer!

J'ai aimé, j'en ai pris juste avec du lait et aussi dans mes smooties, J'ai même mis de la poudre dans les crepes de mes enfants ! Je suis contente d'avoir reçu celui à la vanille car je trouve la gout très doux et facile à intégrer dans mes recettes de smooties. Facile de mélanger au lait et mettre dans une tasse de transport pour les matins pressés !

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.

I was super excited when I found out I was going to be able to try this free from chickadvisor #gotitfree. I rarely have time to eat breakfast as we are always on the go and sometimes I don't have an appetite for it so this was perfect for me. I really found it easy to mix and it dissolved really well into the milk. I put it in my tumbler and left. I really enjoyed the taste although it may be slightly too sweet. I felt like I had a bit of an aftertaste to it too but I feel like that may have been from the milk as I am not a huge milk drinker. I have been enjoying a drink daily and I find it is helping me get the nutrition I need through the day and I am binge eating less later on in the day. I will be purchasing again, I may try the strawberry next to see if I like that one too.

It has been such a long time since i used something similar to Carnation Breakfast Essentials that I could not remember what to expect. I was happy to see on the packaging that is is high in protein, but sadly also high in sugar. I don't drink cow's milk so I had it with almond milk and found it a bit difficult to fully dissolve, but the end result was quite creamy and tasty! Fortunately, it does not taste super sweet.

I found that having the powder mix with milk did not keep me full until lunchtime, and since I'm used to protein smoothies and otmeal as on the go breakfasts in the car since I work on the road, I tried incorporating it into these and I thought it worked great! It adds a hint of sweetness and lots of protein.

I love the convenience and versatility of Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder Drink Mix but I would be weary to have it everyday because of the high sugar content.
