Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready to Drink, Rich Milk Chocolate, No Sugar Added, 4-Count, 11-Oun

I recently purchased the Carnation no added sugar drinks, the "with sugar" version, a 4 pack of Kellogg's version as well. Decided to test drive them all. Label comparison puts Carnation's no sugar added breakfast drink on top. A third the carbohydrates as all the others, fewer calories by far, same vitamin content basically, and Carnation's no sugar version came out nicely on protein. And, here's the surprise, it tastes really good. So why down 20g more carbs, less protein and a lot more calories with Kelloggs or Carnation's sugared version, when this is available. Yum.

Have found this to be a great tasting additional source of easy protein in my hectic day. The screw on resealable cap is very convenient for me if I don't finish it in one sitting.

I am a very picky eater which seriously limits my protein intake. My trainer, yoga instructor, and physician both recommend that I start drinking a protein nutrition drink. Of course, being a purist perfectionist I set out on a quest to find the "best" drink on the market. I literally tried everything, including every powder mix. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I am a "super taster" (lucky me). I have long since deduced that when looking for nutrition bars or meal replacements, go straight to the brands that have been making unhealthy options first. They know what they are doing when it comes to making something taste good. Take EAS nutrition bars versus Snickers nutrition bars. Snickers is in the good taste business and they know how to engineer a tasty treat. For them it is taste first then nutrition chemistry, whereas EAS is chemistry first and taste second. EAS nutrition bars don't even need to be taken out of their packaging to be eaten, since there would be no noticeable difference in taste. Same for this drink, Carnation has been making Instant B'fast forever (at least since the Stone Age when I was a kid) and they know what tastes good. Regardless of the stats, what makes this drink the winner of my taste quest is that it really tastes like chocolate milk. Just to mention a few items, it has "no sugar added" which means that it only has the natural milk sugars...it is NOT sugar free. It is a reasonable 150 calories, whereas most protein drinks are well over 200 (which is a plus for those watching their calories). The bonus is that it provides 13 grams of protein, which makes it competitive with the other drinks on the market.

Purchased this because I fell in love with the regular (yellow bottle) version of this and was buying it in a convenient store at $3/bottle. This version tastes almost the same with no noticeable "sweetener" flavor and saves many calories (due to the lack of sugar, but NOT sugar-free). You may find cheaper in the store (locally was $5.99/4pack while amazon is $22.71/12pack), but the convenience cannot be beat. And my last purchase (March 18, 2012) was good until Jan 2013.
