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

The Cookies & Crème Carnation Breakfast Essentials drink is a convenient way to get a quick boost when you don’t have time for a full meal. The flavor is surprisingly smooth—sweet, creamy, and very much like a light cookies‑and‑cream milkshake. It’s easy to drink first thing in the morning, and it doesn’t have that chalky or powdery aftertaste some nutritional drinks struggle with. The 8 oz bottle is the perfect grab‑and‑go size. It fits easily in a bag, doesn’t require refrigeration until opened, and is ideal for busy mornings, work breaks, or a quick pick‑me‑up in the afternoon. It’s filling enough to hold you over, especially paired with something small like fruit or toast. Nutritionally, it offers a solid mix of vitamins, minerals, and protein, making it a helpful option when you need something fast but still want some nourishment. It’s also a great choice for kids, teens, or anyone who prefers a sweeter flavor profile. If you enjoy cookies‑and‑cream and want a convenient, tasty nutritional drink that goes down easy, this one is a reliable choice.

I ordered French vanilla because I figured I would like that flavor since I like coffee that flavor. But they sent cookies and cream. It's a good flavor. I love breakfast food but I'm not a daily breakfast person so I like having these around. They are quick and easy to grab, even when you're not on the go. They have a good source of protein and vitamins to get you going in the morning thick and texture is that of any other protein shake. Good value not to expensive like other protein shakes.

My daughter with cerebral palsy-sometimes has trouble eating so she replaces a meal with the shakes. She loves the taste of them. They are delicious. It’s more like a treat than a meal. She so looks for her today. Best price ever Amazon.

This is great for the morning when you don’t want to eat

I have been purchasing this for years now and I LOVE it! I use the subscribe and save option, and it is perfectly timed so that when I am running out I have a new shipment delivered! These are so easy and quick to grab on the way out the door. The protein content is great for me, and the taste is great and not chalky. You definitely get your value for your money with these. My whole family loves them and I will continue to purchase them!

Taste is absolutely great, just like chocolate milk, with an extensive amount of necessary nutrients. I have researched many, and this has the most. It is my go to, to make sure I hit my health goals. There is about as much sugar as a glass of chocolate milk though. Not for a diabetic. I buy these for my teenage son to get his vitamins. Does not taste like a protein shake.

Good taste,great value, good quality,

Love these for busy mornings! They taste great (not chalky like some protein drinks), keep me full, and actually give me energy without making me feel heavy. Perfect for when I’m rushing out the door or just don’t feel like making breakfast. Bonus: my kid likes them too, so win-win. 🙌
