loaded in sugar
I tried Carnation Breakfast Essentials in Chocolate flavour. I do not recommend this product for these reasons:
1) the serving size (one 40g sachet added to 250ml milk) has 21g of sugar in the powder alone - that's just over 5 teaspoons of sugar in one glass
2) due to the high sugar content, I used only half the portion and added 325ml (instead of the suggested 250ml) of watered down almond milk (they suggest milk) and had a difficult time dissolving the powder (even though it was half the concentration recommended)...it took a lot of stirring and then letting it sit several minutes
The taste itself, at half the concentration and thus half the sweetness was pleasant. It tasted like chocolate milk. It claims to have 7g of protein in a serving but it's not worth the amount of sugar that comes with it so overall, I do not recommend this product and would classify it as a dessert beverage.
Price is right
Fantastic quick on the go brrakfasy drink. Fills a hole until you get a minute to eat. And the price is better than boost or ensure. Nutritioal value is spot on where it should be for a on the go breakfast. Love it for picky eating as a vitamin boost or for my teen who wont eat before school.
I always by these
I buy these when I don't feel good in the morning and I know I have to eat every morning, because I'm a prediabetic. I love all the different flavours.
Love
I started drinking these few years ago because of tummy issues. It always seems to settle my stomach and allows me to eat later on. I can drink one and it fills me up for about 4hrs. They taste amazing!
Wow!
J'adore ce produit. Parfait pour les matins où l'on est pressés. Il a un bon goût chocolaté. Une bonne dose d'énergie. Je recommande fortement ce supplément de repas.
je l'ai essayé et je trouve c'est un bon produit. le gout est bon, la saveur est bonne aussi. Je vais en racheté c'est certain. j'ai aussi hate d'essayer les autres saveurs.
Keeps me full till lunch time. Excellent flavor and great when you do not have time for a full breakfast. My favorite is the chocolate but would be willing to try other flavors also.
I was selected to try this product. Being a mother of a baby, this is a great way to have breakfast. Taste was to my liking. It's a great day to day meal. In my case, it was not sufficient before a training so I added a banana and it got me to not be hungry while exercising. It was a nice discovery.
At first I wondered how it could be a breakfast since it was chocolate milk in a not-so-big bottle. But one time, I was in a rush and didn't have time to eat so I gave it a try. Carnation Breakfast Essentials tastes like the rich chocolate milk of my childhood. It was delicious. It was "comfort food". And as an additional bonus, it did keep me full until way past lunch.
These Carnation Breakfast drinks are pretty delicious. Great if you are on the go and or just forgot to eat breakfast. Also really good if you are sick or can't digest food well.
