For this post I'll be talking about the small packets of powder, not the full drink or any of Carnation's other various forms of this product. These are a life saver. They are quick, easy, and fairly affordable. You can get a 10 count at Walmart for around $5, making them only .50 each. Pair that with a piece of fruit and you've got a great start to your day.
One thing that makes this stuff a winner for me, is that I can mix it with just about any liquid. Directions say to mix it with milk. That's perfectly fine. You can also mix them into smoothies if you're into that. The chocolate mix goes great with strawberries! You can also mix them into almond (or other nut or coconut milk) milk. I've even gone as far as making a mocha coffee with mine. Wasn't the greatest thing, but I wasn't feeling up to making breakfast, so it worked.
A few other nice things to note about this product, there's no fake sugar in it. So in a world where you're trying to get healthier, that's a nice place to start. A full 5 grams of protein, with only 1/2 a gram of fat. At only 130 calories, (at least for the chocolate, be sure to read your labels!) it's a good start to your day. Especially if you are like me and just really hate morning.
