Pros: Decent artificial vanilla flavor. Slightly creamy consistency. Quick and easy to prepare. With all its vitamins and minerals, it’s like a liquid multivitamin. About the same amount of fiber as a large apple. Good source of protein. Makes skim milk taste better.
Cons: Has an oaty aftertaste. Vanilla isn’t listed in the ingredients. Large mix packet looks like it’s meant for 16 ounces, but instructions say only 8 ounces of milk. You may get hungry soon after drinking this because it’s not very filling. Kind of makes me yearn for a real breakfast with solid food.

Love that packaging. I seriously thought that this was some kind of retro post from 1976 for a minute.
No winder it’s not very filling. Only 5g of protein and the 27g of carb cancel it out.
better off buying those proteins powder at the fitness shop and mixing them in a smoothies.
I agree. A buck for an 8 oz serving is WAY too much. A two pound container of a decent protein supplement is less than 20 bucks!
So Kelloggs just got around to copying Carnation Instant Breakfast?
Wait so it’s just…less nutritious protein powder in little packets? Why don’t people just buy a big tub of protein powder and put some in a container to take along?
