Comments about Carnation Breakfast Essentials Complete Nutritional Drink, Dark Chocolate:
This cost less than going to health food stores and paying rediculous prices for vita based powders. I used this for several years, along with vitamin supplements and a bannna, a cup of green tea before workout, and I am good to to in the morning. I don't know about just drinking it alone, I have tried it a couple of times, but reccommend a piece of fruit of your choice. I also think it replaces slim fast as well. (I say this because it works for me). As far as using for total meal replacement, say for breakafast, a glass for lunch, well I think if you are trying to lose weight, maybe...I wouldn't do it. some people have. I say whatever works for you. I use it ONCE a day, and it gets me through workouts like nothing. Again, it is very inexpensive compared to health food store powders. I also reccommend the cannister rather than the envelopes, you get more servings, and you are the judge as to how much powder you want to use, rather than just using the whole envelope, I think that's where the "high suger" content comes from or just get the sugar free. I can't seem to find this in dark chocolate in the stores, would LOVE to try it.

This is my guilty pleasure that I enjoy almost daily. Thank goodness there are a lot of vitamins in it so I don't feel bad drinking! The only reason it gets 4, not 5 stars, is because of the sugar content.

At 52 I am finally becoming more health conscience and have discovered that due to menopause, I no longer have a metabolic rate. I recently went from a very active job to one that is 90% sedentary so the weight is just skyrocketing. This not only replaces one meal but is an addition to another so I eat less and have added soy milk to my diet to help compensate for the lower hormone levels. With this the soy milk no longer scares me and makes it absolutely delicious. I have also mixed the milk chocolate with the chocolate light soy milk and that's pretty good too.

Keeps my 93 y.o. Mom and my 98 y.o. Pop going and going, twice a day with milk, and at supper-time add some ice cream because it is not just for breakfast.

I LOVE these! I usually get the sugar-free ones at the grocery store but they don't sell Dark Chocolate. I have one every weekday morning and I think it's helped me lose weight - that and other healthy eating habits and playing more tennis.
