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

As someone who only likes eating when it's actually something special, I usually grab two cases of this stuff at the start of every month. One of these with a cup of high protein yogurt or a packet of oatmeal will keep you going without too much hassle.They taste like chocolate milk (or maybe pudding mix before it goes in the fridge), they don't upset your stomach, and they're decent even at room temperature, not that they *need* to be refrigerated, but they *are* more pleasant that way.I used to get diet shakes for this purpose (hate eating, but can't take meds on an empty stomach), but those are usually padded out with insoluble fiber to make you feel full and weird chemical shit that I can't be bothered to research, and therefore don't really want to put inside of my body. Plus, protein shakes are very pricy, while these come out to a little over a dollar each, making them fall cleanly into the category of "you can afford this on EBT and not run out of money and starve near the end of the month."Oof...Anyways, yeah, even for more... neurotypical people, let's say, these are pretty convenient just to have around, even if it's just for the purposes of needing to eat something with a painkiller so you don't wreck your stomach.

Technically this isn't a 'full' meal replacement like Huel or Soylent has, but I'm willing to make that compromise as someone that never eats breakfast anyways. The protein value comparison is double or more compared to them and the price is so much more reasonable. The taste is great and smooth, not really thick. They're relatively small. Overall, just an excellent product.

Compared to the other protein drinks I've tried like boost and ensure, this tastes like a rich chocolate milk. Not chalky or thick. It's easy on the stomach and I feel like I digest and absorb it better too. Unlike any protein drink, even optimum nutrition, this actually increases my appetite and helps me gain weight!

I gave 4 stars because I love the high protein shakes but I ordered these when my store was out and didn't see the high fiber on them. That's on me but in doing that I learned that the dates they put in these cause stomach issues so good product but if you could sell them with high fiber that would be great because they and always out at my local stores. I would love to but such a big pack here without the fiber.

I love these they’re really great for me to just grab and go. Taste great smell good, they are slightly thicker but not much thicker than milk. Like not smooth as water but no chunks. Sometimes I use them to replace meals and haven’t had any issues. Also not a dr so do not do that just because I do. Just saying.

They taste good, great for on the go snack

I absolutely love this ptoduct. I've been getting your Carnation Instant Breakfast powder form since I was 19 & I'm 75 now. Was my go to drink when I was rushing & getting ready to rush off in the signings whether to school or work. Thank you.
