Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready to Drink with Fiber, Rich Milk Chocolate, 8 FL OZ Carton (Pack of 24) (Packaging May Vary)Rainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

I used these daily during a period when I was dealing with dysphagia and had difficulty eating solid food. The smooth texture and decent calorie/protein content made it one of the few things I could reliably consume without issue. The rich milk chocolate flavor is pleasant and easy to drink, especially when chilled.Pros:Gentle texture, easy to swallowHigh in essential vitamins and mineralsReliable protein source (10g per carton)Gluten-free, no artificial sweetenersCons:Not very filling long-term without pairing it with something elseVerdict:This product helped me get through a tough period when nutrition was hard to manage. I continue to keep them stocked even now — they’re that reliable.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I don't always feel hungry these days as I age , so I keep these on hand. Much cheaper than ensure, which I can't afford, and fills my needs. It has a good supply of vitamins with fiber & 10g of protein. It's also not as thick as the others ,which is more palatable for me.

I needed something to help with my weight (5'4" and only 108 lbs). I cannot stand those other drinks so thought I would try this one. It tastes great and helps keep me going. Gives me protein for energy and fiber as a bonus. I don't use it as a meal replacement but as an addition to help maintain weight. The protein is important for me since I am not much of a meat eater.

I am not able to get these in 24 packs locally anymore so it's great I can buy them here. My kids drink one each morning and I feel like it fills them up better than cereal or some other breakfast food.

I have been a Optimum Nutrition guy for many years but switched to these for a change. Not only are they delicious, they have 100 more calories than ON Gold Standard, 10g of protein, 3g fiber, and you get a 24 pack for the price is a 12 pack of the O.N. If course there are trade-offs, O.N. has twice as much protein, but the serving is bigger, 11oz vs 8oz. And only 1g sugar vs 11 in the Carnation version. They're comparable so far as vitamin and mineral content. Still, the Value is tough to beat, and double the price is hard to justify unless you're a pro athlete.

Struggling to find a protein drink that your kids will drink? All of my kids love these and the bonus is that the added fiber helps... a lot... in the way that you would hope it would help. Seriously.

I drink one of these when I first wake up so I can put off cooking breakfast for an hour...lots of vitamins and tastes great.Also great for low blood sugar events of 60 or below!!!

i am in LOVE with these, i bought these to help me gain weight and i can already see a difference, also they taste very good i normally dont like protein drinks but these are really good.. continue to buy these
