I've been using this product most of my adult life for a quick breakfast and sometimes a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.It is about half the price at Sam's, so unless Amazon will sell 2 boxes for the $18 (approximate), it's a better buy at the wholesale clubs.
Most other products I buy at Amazon fare much better pricewise.
Buy Nestle Carnation Instant Breakfast - 22 Packets /1.26 Oz Chocolate Flavor (22 Packets) Now
I've bought these in powder form for about a year now from the local grocery.They're great as both a quick breakfast or a filling snack during the day. If you're going to be burning a lot of carbs, this'll go pretty fast, so I'd recommend some sort of solid food too. Overall, delicious and filling. Can't go wrong. Each packet has 19g of sugar. I can't really imagine what 19g of sugar looks like, but when i got a box of sugar-free instant breakfast by accident once, each packet had less than half the powder in it. So, roughly half of what you're mixing into your milk is straight-up refined sugar. (Then again, watching people order coffee in the morning and load it down with sugar, maybe the sugar is part of the appeal.)
This stuff dissolves pretty quickly and easily in milk, but if you're a stickler for a zero-grit experience, you might have to add a little extra milk, or be willing to use an immersion blender to really mix it thoroughly.These are the only things I can get my husband to 'eat' for breakfast. I've tried breakfast bars, cereal, etc. they all end up coming home with him (he takes them to work).
Faithly every day he will drink this for breakfast most days he won't eat anything else until he comes home. But at least I know if he has this, he'll get something in him to help him get through the day!
I prefill Rubbermaid 3117RDSPA Litterless Juice Boxes with milk each week and he takes (and drinks!) one with the carnation to work every day.
