[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It tasted spoiled like it had been left out in heat or something for way to long during shipping. It could have been great, maybe but I couldn't get past the spoiled taste to actually drink more than 2 sips. I tossed the rest because it was gross.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having these handy. It's a great and quick way to get in a quick breakfast and know that I'm getting a lot of nutrients as well. I love the rich chocolate and of course the vanilla too. They are rich in flavor and smooth and creamy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not the best flavor option! I like other flavors offered by carnation but this one was not good at all. It tasted sour maybe they mixed too many berries together. Hate writing bad review because other flavors are great!

My kids love these. But what happened to the vanilla. I, myself, loved the vanilla too. Kids would have a vanilla one every morning for breakfast before school. My daughter could never eat anything solid in the morning and she can't do chocolate in the morning. My son never had enough time to eat food. So these are/were perfect. BRING BACK THE VANILLA! PLEASE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for when I’m on the go. It has a decent taste but doesn’t really taste like cookies and cream though but still pretty good. I like that if I skip breakfast I can’t take this and drink it and still get everything I need to keep me going until I do eat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tastes so delicious with just skim milk added! I love this as a refreshing drink in the morning. It is just the right amount of sweetness and doesn’t have a fake powdery taste- tastes like real chocolate milk!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This carnation mixed berry drink is delicious. I drink this in the morning and it gives me the boost I need without eating a big meal that fills me up. Carnation breakfast drink is a great tasting way to get a healthy start to the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the mixed berry flavor and it’s pretty good! It’s 8 oz and a quick and easy drink. I don’t always eat breakfast so this is a good way to get in some additional nutrients in when I’m slacking. The flavor is good and not too over powering. It has calcium, protein, vitamin C and a bunch of other vitamins packed in. I think this is a great addition if you are also slacking on some needed nutrients like I am, and would be great for kids who are picky eaters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a long time consumer of the Carnation Breakfast essentials packets, so was excited to try another variation. I was a little hesitant to try it as it is a shelf stable drink like any other breakfast shake and the taste varies big time by brand. I decided to refrigerate my drink before trying it. It tastes like a shake I'd buy at the drive through! It has a smooth, rich taste. Who doesn't love a chocolate treat for breakfast that is giving you some of the nutrients you need to start your day.It keeps me satisfied for a decent amount of time as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometimes these pre-made type of drinks aren't the greatest tasting or have a very weird consistency, but neither is the case here. The taste was great, very much as you'd expect from a berry flavor, and it was great to drink. It's quite filling for what it is, and made for a perfect snack.
