Yuck

[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!

Bring back Classic Malt

We were loyal customers for over 2 decades. The only flavor we liked was the Classic Malt. Sadly it seems Carnation doesn’t want to listen to its customers. For now, we will be purchasing Malt Flavored Ovaltine. Bring the Classic Malt back and we will gladly purchase again.

Best Bang for your Buck

I have been drinking this since they first came out in the 60's. I drink mine daily for lunch mixed with coffee; 14 oz of coffee, 2 packets of your mix, and 16 oz of milk. I use the Milk Chocolate flavor and sometimes French Vanilla (1 packet of each) and joking call it my 'Vanilla Macchiato-Mocha Frappuccino'. Granted, I am a chocaholic from the get-go and any of the chocolate flavors are fabulous, but I truly miss the COFFEE flavor! It tasted just like Coffee Ice Cream! Please, please, please bring back the Coffee flavor.

Please bring back chocolate malt

My husband drank chocolate malt every day as a kid, and now my daughter continues the tradition. She can’t stomach food in the morning, so she has a chocolate malt every morning. I ordered it by the case when I could longer find it in the store. please reconsider!!!! This is life changing!! Now my busy high-school aged daughter will eat nothing before she leaves for school. Please bring it back, even if only online. The other flavors are not an option.

Quick on the go breakfast option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been drinking Carnation Breakfast drinks since I was a kid. They haven’t changed much in the last 30 years. The chocolate is our family’s favorite. They are a great quick breakfast solution for on the go, or for those kids who just got their braces tightened and are too sore to chew. Keeps them feeling full and energized till lunch. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

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.

Taste great, easy to mix, flavor we both enjoy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great for when you're late running out the door to work, school or etc & don't have time to sit down for a full breakfast. This is so easy to mix and I use like 2 cups of milk depending because I like mine on the thinner side rather than thick. You could use a blender, spoon, shaker bottle or even a hand held bender to mix these up. I really like the taste and can always use the extra vitamins and minerals. It doesn’t leave an awkward weird aftertaste. My college age son even will take some to college with him for quick breakfast before class or even a later in afternoon drink while studying. This is a flavor we both enjoy.

Good drink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this but found the flavor to be a little dull. Was hoping it would be tastier. Not sure if this is marketed as a meal replacement but not as filling as other breakfast smoothie drinks.
