Filling but feels odd

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keeps me full but not the biggest fan of the taste. Has a chalky type feel to it. You do get your moneys worth though. My kids like them. I’d buy again for them.

Been using this for decades

We always bought the variety pack because that was the only way to get the chocolate MALT flavor. Now you can't get it at all. It would be nice to be able to have that again. I'd buy a case of it! :-(

Eh…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Taste is okay, but the texture is awful. This does not mix well at all. I appreciate the single serve packaging. Couldn’t get past the texture to see effectiveness.

Tase good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The powder mixes easily with milk in a glass, and is welcome after morning coffee to get the day started and to sustain me until lunch time. I love the taste

Deliciously convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm loving that my favourite instant breakfast is now even more convenient for on the go moms like me!

Yummy and Nutritious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is packed with vitamins and nutrients to get your day started! It tastes just like chocolate milk too which makes it super digestible. I love to use it to mix in my smoothies or coffee.
