Start Your Day Right with Carnation Breakfast Essentials High Protein Ready-to-Drink Shake

J P F: I really like this stuff! 5 stars all the way!

It has a consistancy the other varieties lack. Even the rare High Protein with fiber is not to my liking.
This reminds me of chocolate flavored whole milk.
I often indulge in 2 a day, the second serving just because I like them.
Except for the protein it's nearly the exact same vitamins and minerals in capsules on my desk and I'll walk into the other room and fetch one of theese instead.
High Protein, Rich Milk Chocolate is the only one I have tried that I say that about.

I recieved 4 cases of "with fiber" by repeated ERROR and Amazon left it to me to toss them.
It's not BAD but I purchased my favorite MONTHS before I ran out of the free 'with fiber' stuff.
I still have 2 more cases to pawn off on someone, LOL. It may go to the curb. :-(

YMMV

Celestias37: I'm trying ever flavor. So far all family members drink the vanilla and My Brother and I haven't shared the Golden Grahams flavor yet. I haven't seen any flavor turned away yet, even chocolate is asked for. Golden Grahams taste like the milk after you eat the cereal out and drink. I like cereal flavored milk and so does my brother. I didn't share with my Nephews and Niece yet because they were super tasty replacing snack or dessert. The children ask like it's dessert so we have to limit them drinking to many. Plus, I bought on limited budget but next buy I get plenty to share...Lol I like the high protein better, they seem thicker.

SpeedReader: This tastes great, and much more convenient than the mix version of it that you have to add to milk or water. It tastes just like chocolate milk, but gets you more protein and gets you vitamins that you would not get with chocolate milk. I like to mix it with a scoop of chocolate meal replacement powder (by adding a little bit of water to it and using a blender, not a shaker cup) so I can get a bit more calories, protein, and fiber. But, it is just fine on its own if you do not want anything more than what is in it.

Peter C.Peter C.: This nutrition drink taste very good better than Ensure and Boost nutrional drinks it taste more natural there are no artificial flavor, colors or sweetners, specially it's chocolate flavor taste better than any other nutrional chocolate drink it taste like real chocolate. I have tried their 3 flavor vanilla, strawberry and chocolate they all taste very good. Comparing it to Boost high protein it has less calories less sugar but it also has less protein they are both gluten free. Although they are name is Breakfast Essentials it can be taking any time of the day your stomach will thank you they're very soft to the stomach. Everyone should try them their 3 flavors tastes very good.

LynnLynn: High Protein Rich Chocolate
My daughter & I are lactose intolerant. She moreso than me.
(Lactaid tablets don't help her; she can only use Lactaid brand lactose free milk. Off brand lactose free milk doesn't agree with her.)

I'm telling you this because neither of us experience any problems when we drink one of these a day. I have problems if I drink more than one a day.

These have a thicker consistency...not thick like a milkshake, but thicker than milk.
We like the chocolate flavor even though the flavor is a bit different. I only buy the High Protein version which contains 15 grams of protein & 28 grams total carbs

I know these are designed as a breakfast drink, but I typically reach for one if I know I'll be missing a meal. The other day a family member was taken to ER at meal time so I grabbed a couple of these to share because we missed our evening meal.

Gluten Free
Suitable for those with Lactose Intolerance
