Starting your day with a Carnation Instant Breakfast drink is a great way to stay healthy and energized for the morning. Carnation Instant Breakfast is an easy-to-make, quick, and nutritious drink that pumps your body with protein, carbohyrates, and essential vitamins and minerals. I began drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast two weeks ago. Immediatley, I fell in love with the product for its quick nature and ease of use. In fact, I made sure that I drank at least three glasses of this drink a day. The nutrition drink did not fill my stomach up completely, so I casually drink it while having a bowl of raisin bran or something else for breakfast. Carnation Instant Breakfast comes in three different flavors: Creamy chocolate, French Vanilla, or Strawberry creme. The chocolate is my favorite, though all of the flavors were particularly enjoyable.

Throughout my mornings I felt better prepared mentally for any tasks that came up, I also felt better over the two-week period that I have been drinking the CIB. Lets take a look at some of the nutrition facts (the following is the nutrition facts for the rich milk chocolate without any milk added):

All of these vitamins and minerals are great for both adults and children alike, especially the amount of calcium and iron.

Carnation Instant Breakfast can be purchased at most grocery stores in three different packages: a can of powder, individual packets, and ready-to-drink bottles. It is a great and nutritious way to start your morning, and I highly recommend it. I drink it in the morning, before running, before workouts, and before I go to bed; it just has a great taste and keeps me healthy.
