    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These protein shakes are ok for breakfast when you’re in a hurry. I don’t care for some of the ingredients like all the sugar and canola oil. I’m trying to eliminate added ingredients.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was happy to try Carnation Breakfast Essentials high protein chocolate milk in exchange for my honest review. The taste wasn’t great I couldn’t even finish it. It was a bit chalky in flavor. I would much rather other brands to this one. I won’t be buying this again.

    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Carnation Breakfast essential protein drink was delicious. I’m usually really picky with protein drinks because a lot of them taste chalky and thick, this one, thankfully, was smooth to drink. I also liked the packaging because it’s more eco friendly and easy to put in my fridge

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product packaging is great, shares a lot of important information right on the front of the drink. The flavor is OK, would suggest getting the drink really cold or pouring over ice.

    convenient balanced shake

    luluinblu_1504 - 1 month ago
    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great way to start your day and add protein. These shakes are very convenient when you are short on time, but still want something healthy and nutritious. The packaging is very helpful and clear about calories, protein, content, and vitamins and minerals. I used to drink these in high school and the taste has improved greatly. The chocolate flavor is very enjoyable and doesn’t have a strong aftertaste. It does have a little bit of a chemical flavor, which is why I gave it four stars. Overall, it is a great value for the money and an easy inconvenient breakfast that gives you protein and energy for your day.

    Great Tasting And Convenient

    doryd89_9981 - 1 month ago
    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Carnation Breakfast Essentials is my new favorite way to start my day. Containing 15g of protein, 21 vitamins and minerals including vitamin D and calcium, this has everything I need for a quick on-the-go breakfast. It has a nice rich chocolate taste. The only downside is that it has 12g of added sugar, and I wish Carnation had a sugar-free option. But overall, this is a delicious, healthy breakfast option for busy people like me.

It also didn’t have the after taste of vitamins like most nutrition drinks do. I drank this in place of breakfast, and it kept me full until lunch. Will definitely buy in the future.
