[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.

My daughter is a non meat eater and loves the strawberry it’s the only protein item I can get her to drink. However for whatever reason our stores aren’t carrying it anymore. My husband whom is fighting cancer will also only drink this. Please get this flavor back in our stores in powder form which is more affordable. Ty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion and review. I love to give my nephews healthy snacks and treats when staying with me. These Carnation Essentials are great because they have 13g of protein per serving and 21 different vitamins and minerals. Just add a packet to a cup of milk and mix, so simple! The boys all love the chocolate flavor and usually drink their entire cup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love it. My son keeps calling it his pre-workout because he's only 11 and I won't let him use the real stuff yet. This will definitely be a new addition to the grocery list. They are obsessed.

I love that this is good for you too! It has vitamins D, calcium , protein and 21 other vitamins and minerals! This is a great nutritional drink and I would recommend it to anyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried it along with my kiddo. We both loved it. It is sooo delicious. For both adults and children! The packaging is great and fun! The taste is great! This is something I would highly recommend to my family and friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I drink this nutritional drink almost every other day. The flavor is one of my favorites and I love the nutritional value I receive in the morning. It gives me that boost I need to get on with my busy day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fond memories of Carnation breakfast products from growing up, so was interested in trying the pre-mixed version. This is in effect an instant breakfast. I suggest putting it in the fridge before using it. This is a good instant breakfast option for the a.m. when you need to just get started or out the door. I wish the ingredient list was easier to read, too small. I like that they use stevia, but the carbs are still to high at 41g. It is mixed berry flavor with 0% fruit. Probably better to go with the chocolate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Breakfast Essentials chocolate flavor for my daughter because she loves the Breakfast Essentials. The product looked good, so I drank it instead and I loved it. Tasted like a chocolate milkshake and I think it would be great for breakfast.
