VANILLA

I love this stuff and have been drinking it for years but where is the VANILLA? I went to my local club today and all they had was chocolate and looking online vanilla isn’t available here either. The vanilla is great alone or mixed with strawberries and bananas for a smoothie. Here’s to hoping to see the vanilla flavor back soon.

Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready -to- Drink

I am sorry that you did not received my first review. Here it is again: My mom got sick after drinking it. I guess it was something in the ingredients. I can not do any recommending because I do not know other people's health condition--sorry Thank you for asking for my review. I hope that you can have a nice day

Sam’s bring back the Vanilla in powder please

My kids love breakfast essentials, specially the powder over the ones ready to drink but for some reason they prefer the vanilla instead of chocolate, they’re not drinking the chocolate ones every morning like the vanilla, so, they stop drinking it, not going to be buying this one if they don’t like it to much. Is not for everybody taste, There’s need to be options on flavors…. You guys are making the same with slim fast powder only chocolate, you can add some chocolate to the vanilla if you want chocolate but if is chocolate you cannot change the flavor to only vanilla, please stop going in a monotonous way with the same product without choice on flavors.

Im sad

I use to buy the vanilla all the time it is the best. but someone made the corporate decision to take it way shame shame on them. Im older so the vanilla flavor made it possible for me to mix instant breakfast to drink it. The chocolate is just awful

Nutrition shortcut

More servings at a lower price than the pre-mixed drinks. It saves so much money to get a 1-month supply than a 2-week supply. I have no energy in the morning. I'm trans, my body-chemistry needs a variety of stuff, and this drink mix covers the majority of my day's nutritional needs. Somehow, with this drink mix as my morning's second routine checkpoint when I wake up at 4am, I'm able to get the energy i need before sunrise, largely because of the nutrients in this. Cannot stress enough: the powdered mix costs half as much for twice as much as the carnation bottles.
