Tasty but not fully smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Influenster and Carnation sent me a full box of their chocolate breakfast essentials powder drink mix. I gave it to my fiance to try for free testing purposes and his homest review since he's a huge chocolate milk and milk lover. He loved it and said it tastes just like chocolate milk. The only thing he did not like about it is that it's a little clumpy when he mixes the mix with regular milk in a glass with a fork or spoon. He would recommend it to others who are looking for a tasty milk drink with extra protein as it does contain 13 grams of protein in 1 serving.

Saved my life as a kid

When I was little I just could not eat anything in the morning before school, I felt sick to my stomach if I did. Then Instant Breakfast came along, Instant Breakfast was a life saver for me because my mom would let me have it and I just loved the taste. I had no problem having something to drink in the morning. Well I’m 64 and my wonderful husband makes me an Instant Breakfast almost every morning. I have it a little differently today, with unsweetened coconut almond milk, but I still love it just the same. Than you for being there for me.

I love this for my elderly father

My dad is at that point where he doesn’t want to eat as much as he used to. The 240 cal from these drinks are awesome for rounding off his requirements. I do wonder if he needs to take a lactose pill when drinking this as he’s in tolerant to it? Anyone know?

Tastes great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product but it was too sweet for me so I gave it to my kids. They really enjoyed it! This will be a great grab and go breakfast treat for busy mornings. It says mixed berry flavor but it was a strong strawberry flavor. If you like strawberry flavored milk you will like this product.

Nice Protein drink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice addition to any morning breakfast drink or a daily protein boost. The flavor of mixed berries was subtle and not overbearing to the taste. The drink itself was smooth with no chalky taste at all. Overall this is well tasting protein drink.

Essential Drink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drink had all of the vigil, protein, and supplements that I need to keep me going and to kickstart my morning. I love the way it taste and it’s not chalky or gritty. The smooth strawberry taste is great. It ha# the right amount of everything good that you need. I love the bottle as well. You can carry it everywhere and it’s easy to in your bag, desk, locker, or purse. This is a great and balanced drink.

Best flavor!!

My husband has been drinking classic chocolate malt for 50 years. They stopped several years ago selling it in stores close to home so that is when I started ordering it on line. I went to reorder and realized it has been discontinued. Please bring it back..

It's good but needs doctoring in order for it to b

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is an initial aftertaste that is a little off putting. It's the vitamins...so if you don't care for that you may want to look elsewhere. If you want a trick to combat it, I have a suggestion. Get some chai tea concentrate and add the powder to your tea mix and add milk. It's both vitamins but also caffeine. It works better

Wasn't bad at all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expected the worst of this product but it was really tasty. Definitely tasted very berry. Im usually the type to lean chocolate. But ill definitely be buying the mixed berry more. Ill be recommending this to my family.

Taste great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This breakfast shake was just what I was looking for in the morning. Something that tasted good and was good for me. It’s hard to get the vitimans I need in the morning and do it quickly before I have to go to work but this was great. It filled me up and was great for on the go.
