When i buy instant meal, I usually go for chocolate favor because I find it the "safer" flavor. So, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the vanilla flavor of this product even thought I previously had try it in his liquid form (Carnation also sells those instant breakfast all made/liquid form not powder) and enjoyed it.

The first time I prepared it, I mixed it and drank it right away. Compare to other protein powder and other instant powder meal, the Carnation is very easy to mix; it dilutes very easily and quickly.

The flavor is all right but compare to the already mixed one, it felt not thick enough... I finally found out that, if you let it sit for a few minutes after mixing it, the mix becomes thicker.

The only downside for me, is that one pouch (mix with 1 cup of milk), doesn`t make a satisfying breakfast. I have to add a banana to the mix or prepare 2 pouches for it to be sustainable until lunch time.

Overall, great product , good price, 10 portion in a box and they sell boxes with mixed flavor (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry)

.mes 2 filles de 12-13 ans et moi en avons prit le matin pour nos déjeuner et nous avons tout simplement adoré.superbe texture,un bon gout de vanille juste parfait ;) je le recommande a tous

I got it free to try it. I didn't like the strong Vanilla taste. Also it needs to be prepared with 8 oz of milk wich I thought was a lot. There are 20g of sugar in the mix and that's too much. As for effectiveness, I didn't need to eat before lunch so that was good.

I got the Carnation Breakfast Essentials in the vanilla flavour (#gotitfree) and it tasted better than I expected. No powder taste. I don't have a break until lunch at work so when I drink it I have to eat something else with it so I would'nt be hungry until lunch. But even if I have to eat anyway I appreciated it and would buy it. It's nutritious and give me vitamins and minerals.

I got this for free to try out, and loved it. It was easy to make, not clumpy at all. Not to mention it tasted great. It had a fantastic smell too. It was filling and didn't leave me hungry. Even my son drank it. Tasted like a milkshake.

Je n'avais jamais utilisé de substitut de repas aupravant et j'étais sceptique par rapport à leur efficacité. De plus je n'étais pas convaincu d'aimer le goût. Par contre, lorsque j'ai testé les Carnation Breakfast Powder Drink Mix à la vanille , j'ai tout de suite été convaincu. Un bon substitut de déjeuner! Mais, j'ai ajouté plus de lait que recommander puisque je trouvais la boisson un peu sucré à mon goût.

Tried our sample that we received as part of the Product Review Club. We received the Vanilla flavour and the taste is nice. It is a good breakfast replacement for those who are on the run in the mornings and need a quick fix. The only thing I am not fond of - there is so much sugar in one package! It would be nice to use a natural alternative to sugar rather than refined; otherwise, good product.

J'ai adorer la saveur et la texture du produits . Je mange rarement le matin et ce produit m'aide à tenir jusqu'au dîner . Habituellement le matin je ne mange pas du a mes mot de cœur , c'est donc difficile d'avoir de l'énergie en mâtiner, mais ce produit a beaucoup aider pour ce problème car il me donne de l’énergie et je ne souffre pas de la faim .

I have been drinking one every morning for breakfast. The vanilla is absolutely yummy and taste exactly like vanilla milkshake. It makes me feel like Iv had a nutritious meal. I am good to go until lunchtime. I'm very impressed :)

Personnally, I found it too sweet for me. BUT I let a teenager that doesnt eat much in the morning try it and she found it creamy and tasty. She loved it like a lot and now she eats during the morning something that can fill her up. So, it's a good deal :)
