Carnation Instant Breakfast

[MsSharee06]

I was in the grocery store last night and I was reading the box, and it says that it has twice the protein of an egg. So I wonder if drinking this daily, along with other healthy hair care practices would help my hair grow a little more...just wondering. Has anyone ever used this before?

I'm sure it would.

Dang, thanks for this. I'm going grocery shopping in a few (can't sleep) so I will pick up some. I have also been eating some granola bars with protein in them too.

I just stocked up on them, for that very reason

its good stuff!

Aww thank you Val!

The breakfast drinks taste great, comes in Chocolate Malt, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla , I ordered direct from their site and really stocked up , four boxes of each flavor (except for vanilla) two each for me and my daughter, its all good if you dont mind whole milk, they are really great to grab as a meal replacement when your short on time etc

Great, I was looking for a protein shake that tastes good. I'll try these as well.

Ok I just did some homework and Carnation Instant Breakfast only contains 5 grams of protein per serving. With a glass a milk, it adds up to 13 grams of protein (So their claim is kinda sorta correct). Watch that sugar- With 19 grams of sugar per serving, I think that would kinda hurt your hair (sugar slows down hair growth).

I think that they add really good vitamins to the powder too but I just can't get over the sugar content.

So it probably wouldn't hurt you to drink it every now and then (But I rather that you eat eggs, oatmeal, milk, fruit, and nuts instead). It's better than leaving your house hungry.

So actually Carnation Instant Breakfast is the equivalent of an egg and a glass of milk....yep, misleading advertising will make you think you are getting double that in one shot....great job, Angelicus with posting actual protein grams per serving...19 grams of sugar? Ouch!

Ouch indeed. You might as well buy some chocolate flavor whey protein mix.

Yeah its really only good as a meal replacement when you cant make the eggs etc. its working for me with no sugar issues using it that way

it gives me that nutrition I wouldnt have, cause I wont grab anything at times

its a nice portion of nutrition, protein , and calories and sugar

its working for me, better for me than having no meal or no sugar-when I can run low on it (hypoglycemia)

I'd rather my daughter drink that then grab whatever awful thing she might grab while she is out the house, donuts , chips etc

so in that way it works out great

nah it has tons of nutrients added as well, and the protein is more like two eggs equivalent

I guess it depends on ones lifestyle, me and my daughter are always running out this house, and dont even have any kind of regular regimented schedule, and some days those breakfast drinks are so much better than not having them at all and what we might end up grabbing once out

They are actually very nutritious , just not light on sugar (taste) and calories

even Ensure or any meal replacement is about the same, unless its a diet one

yep... The Sneaky part is the sugar content in so many packed foods....
