[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been drinking these for years. As someone who absolutely hates eating first thing in the morning, these are a great quick solution to getting my protein and vitamins in first thing in the morning. They taste great and I feel like I have way more energy after drinking them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this drink because of the cookies and cream flavor but upon trying it I thought it was ok in flavor. It had a slight scent as if opening a bottle of vitamins when I first twisted off the cap, I guess that is from all the vitamins and minerals it has. I do like the fact it is chocked full of vitamins and minerals. I drank it chilled which I think is best in the morning for breakfast on my way to work and kept me satiated until lunch. Definitely a plus. I would interested to see how the other flavors add up as I did like it as a good go to for breakfast when I'm on the go. Overall, a good drink but cookies and cream flavor could be a little better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love drinking this! I like to heat it up to make hot chocolate. It mixes well with milk and tastes just like hot chocolate but without all the sugar but with the extra protein and vitamins. It comes in single packets which are easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing when my kids don’t want to eat a complete meal. I feel confident giving them chocolate instant breakfast, because of all the nutrients. The powder mixes quickly with a spoon and there is no texture. Smooth creamy chocolate taste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great option for a grab and go breakfast! As a sing mom trying to make it in life, grab and go has become my norm so I like finding options like these drinks to switch it up to keep the boredom and expensive fast food to a minimum. I'll also give these to my kid when he refuses his regular breakfast because these are so delicious that he will drink them in under 5 minutes! These are a classic breakfast option with a fun new flavor that everyone is sure to love!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I drink these when I need a quick breakfast on the go with nutritional value that satisfies me. The cookies and cream flavor is a nice addition to the traditional flavor line up. Sugar content is a little high, but I like that there are no artificial sweeteners used in this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product in the rich milk chocolate flavor. The taste wasn't bad. However, it wasn't that good either. This tasted kinda powdery. I would describe this product as a beverage that taste like someone mixed powder with water and didn't mix it very well. Despite shaking the bottle vigorously, it just has an excess powder taste. With all that being said, it doesn't taste bad at all. I would drink it for the nutritional value alone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am quite surprised how good this Carnation breakfast tastes. I put it in the refrigerator to chill overnight and it was so smooth. I am getting the strawberry next to mix with the chocolate. Yes chocolate covered strawberry oh so good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family now loves the Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready to Drink Mixed Berry flavor. I have a senior in high school and he rarely gets up with enough time to eat breakfast. This is an easy and tasty way for him to get his vitamins and breakfast in the morning.

I am deeply saddened by the apparent discontinuation of Classic Chocolate Malt (I still call it Instant Breakfast). My 89 year old mother and her senior friends have been drinking this flavor for many years. They had tried the other flavors but only this one did they like. This was the best way we could ensure our parents were getting important vitamins and nutrients. Now that you have pulled this flavor off the shelves, they won't drink they other flavors. I’m sure the product manager that put together this new brand strategy thought it was a good idea to discontinue this flavor. It is not. This was by far the best flavor, and Chocolate is not an acceptable substitute. They have tried adding their own powdered malt but still too sweet and wrong consistency. Please bring back classic chocolate malt flavor, even if only online purchasing.
