Carnation Instant Breakfast by Nestle HealthCare Nutrition, Inc. - Powdered Meals / Shake

I used the chocolate CIB. I did get online and subscribe to their newsletter and they sent coupons through the mail which was nice. The Chocolate has 'No Sugar Added'--which I felt tasted good. I used this drink for the 2 week pre-op period-I had to drink 3 of these drinks per day for 2 weeks before surgery. Overall, it tasted good. (I used 1% milk with one pouch.)

I really like this product. I like the taste of the one you mix yourself, howeever the powder often doesn't mix up all the way in milk. It gives you a very full feeling.

If you are someone who can handle the sugar, these will be great. I can handle sugar pretty well, but this is the only thing I've had since surgery that has made me violently ill. The nutritional value is great, and I was hopeful I would be able to tolerate these, but no such luck.

It was not a pleasant "chocolate milk" taste that I had expected. It was bland; It may be good for someone who does not like sweet drinks, but I detest it.

Tasted good and offers good nutrition, however, the sugar caused me to dump. The sugar free version may be a better alternative.

The milk chocolate flavor packet is excellent. I like the vanilla, too. I'm still trying the other flavors.

I found it to be too sweet at the time.

Very tasty when mixed with very cold milk. Really liked the Vanilla and the Strawberry flavors.

After trying other protein drinks, it's the only one I can get down. I add 1/3C of dry non-fat milk with the 8oz skim milk to increase the protein by 8gm. It doesn't make it too thick and then you have 20gm of protein.

You can get past the taste if you drink it fast. But since we are not to eat or drink fast, I have placed a straw back on the tongue and take small sips.
