Fruit & Protein Smoothie, Strawberry Banana

I am a caregiver for a 90 year old in her home. She doesn’t eat the best and has lost a bunch of weight so I started giving her one of these poured in a glass with her breakfast AND LET ME TELL YOU, she gulps that down. I always feel good no matter how much she eats if she at least has one of these. Strawberry banana and she rates it 10/10.

We grabbed these Carnation Breakfast Essentials Fruit and Protein Smoothies to mix things up from the usual protein drinks my kids rely on every day. The older ones weren’t really into the fruity flavor, but my youngest actually loves them. At 9 years old, it’s a great option when he’s already had plenty of protein and just needs something light with added vitamins. The taste’s solid—at least according to my youngest—and that’s a win in a house where picky palates rule. Carnation is a brand we trust, and these smoothies continue that streak of quality. I also appreciate the nutritional boost: a good mix of essential vitamins and minerals without going overboard on protein. They’re incredibly convenient, too. No need to mix anything—just grab one from the fridge and you’re good to go. Young kids can open them without help. They offer a good choice for crazy mornings or busy afternoons to make them that much easier to navigate. And when it comes to value, it’s tough to beat. For the price per serving, you’re getting solid nutrition in a format kids actually enjoy. If you’re looking for a simple, tasty way to keep your little ones fueled—especially when full-on protein drinks aren’t the right fit—these are worth checking out.

Easy to drink, cooled left in frig. Easy for on the go in morning also great for an easy dinner. Price is great.

The dog had its way with it and made it extra banana creamy the whole 24 pack the dog got it in just about every one, pam woke up the next morning hungover and slurped them down like a circus clown , she said it tasted like here's Daddy's milk? But seemed to happy and energetic, she says she plays tug of war with the dog to get the vitamins directly down her gullet? Happy forth of July!!! She likes it extra pulpy.

I have been drinking these for years, they're great when I need little boost in the middle of the day. Used to buy at wal-mart, but they stopped selling them. The only concern I have is the delivery. If they show up on my porch on a hot day, and I'm not home, they could be ruined from too much heat.

Was great for what I needed

Great taste

My seven year old son insisted that I give this a 5-star review. He said if he could give it 1 million stars, he would! We have a hard time getting him to sit still and eat any meal, so these are great supplements to pump him full of calories/protein and avoid getting hangry. Glad we found these to rotate in with the Breakfast Essentials!
