For a fast fix, and an add into a smoothie these might be acceptable, however alone, I could not drink it! I tried all three flavours, and the strawberry is the best by far. I didn't like the chocolate at all, the vanilla was good with fruit add ins. Also, the price for the amount of packs isn't worth it if you use the entire pack per glass. I used 1/3 per smoothies and that made them last way longer.

I was very excited to receive Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder Drink Mix from ChickAdvisor to try for free. I start every day with a protein shake. I purchase my protein online and in addition to being costly, it also takes awhile to get to my door. I saw that the box noted a serving (i.e. a pouch) to contain 15g of protein. I figured that while it was a slightly lower protein content, it would be more affordable and accessible. Unfortunately, when I received the box in the mail, I was disappointed to find that the stated protein content was only when combined with 250mL of whole milk. I don't drink cow's milk. I use cashew milk. The package only contains 7g of protein. It also contains a whopping 21g of sugar! Yikes!

I set aside those nutritional facts and still gave it a try. Again, I was not impressed. The chocolate flavour was severely lacking in potency. I tried a couple of times. I forced myself to drink it but it was not palatable at all.

I would not buy this product, nor would I recommend it to anyone. I was highly disappointed.
