Carnation Breakfast Essentials High Protein Ready-to-Drink, Classic French Vanilla, 8 FL OZ Carton (Pack of 24)

It's convenient and tasty (vanilla flavour), but I don't see the need to include glucose syrup as the highest ingredient after water. There's also added sugar. Protein @ 15g is good (not as much as a protein drink, but still a decent amount). Lots of other 'chemical' sounding things on the ingedients list which may or may not be good for me, but convenience is sometimes important when I am rushing out. You can probably make your own with some protein powder but it won't store - these cartons just sit in the closet or fridge ready for when needed with a 10 month shelf life (well, mine were).

These are amazing and I can’t live without them! The taste is yummy and they fill me up perfectly!

Delicious!!! Not chalky, not super thick. My picky eaters love it and it’s great for them.

Excellent taste. Must be chilled and shake it well. My wife was suffering with weakness and loss of appetite. We tried several other brands, but the Carnation has been the best and my wife has a marked improvement in her health and vitality. Thank you for making such a fine product.

I prefer the taste of Ensure, but the prices of Ensure tend to be high sometimes. When that's the case, I'll pick up a 24-pack of these instead. The vanilla version doesn't taste quite as good as vanilla Ensure, but they have a similar nutritional profile, so these are an acceptable alternative at a much lower price. I didn't like the strawberry version very much. I'll stick with vanilla when I buy these in the future.

I am not a health buff but when my doctor recommended more protein and vitamins for my health I needed to find some supplements that is reasonably priced and healthy. I drink one of these to start my day and my balance has improved as well as my test results. Can not go wrong with this drink.

Enjoy the high protein to get my day started.

I also switched to Carnation when the price went up, and purchased a multi-pack as part of my monthly S&S. However, this month, when I got to the last six pack that came in a sealed case, I found bottles labeled "French Vanilla" were not, in fact Vanilla once opened. I contacted Carnation to inform them of the mislabeled product I received, and they blamed Amazon for the factory error and refused to even acknowledge their mistake. So be aware that if you also get a bad product in a sealed multi-pack, purchased through the Carnation Storefront on Amazon, rather than a 3rd party seller, Carnation will not care and will do nothing to make things right. This is clearly not an error on Amazon's end, and had to have happened at the factory. But I did not even get an apology from Carnation when I contacted them. I will NOT be purchasing any Carnation product ever again, as they obviously care nothing about the customer receiving a quality product that corresponds to what the label says it contains. EDIT: Amazon CS made this right, despite it NOT being their fault at all. EDIT: Carnation came back later, horrified by my first response from their CS. They wanted ALL the information about lot number, etc. and promised to thoroughly investigate the issue. I am satisfied with their eventual response, have resubscribed as a monthly S&S product, and have not had an issue since. I was glad to have something nutritious that did not need refrigeration during the extended power outage and food shortages after Hurricane Milton. Fact is, this Carnation product is nutritionally identical to Boost, and it remains to be cheaper as an S&S Item. Yes, they are better cold, but they are not bad warm when your only other alternative is MREs distributed by FEMA. I am going to put a couple of six packs of this in my Hurricane Kit after discovering its utility.
