Flavors Need 'Revisiting'

I grew up in the 60's, on Carnation Instant Breakfast, Eggnog flavor. My Grandson doesn't like to eat b'fast in the morning and is following the tradition. I'm disappointed Eggnog flavor isn't available and I see other chocolate varieties, as well. PLEASE, offer maybe a 'Seasonal' variety of 'Throwback' flavors?? That way we can stock up and be happy : ) Also as a nurse, patients needing a supplement, not able to afford the pricey bottled ones are recommended Carnation Instant Breakfast. It's a lifesaver for some.

Great for on the go

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I drank this for breakfast while I was running out the door. I like the option to be able to drink this as I am getting ready. It had great flavor and it kept me full until lunch. I would definitely recommend this for everyone who really has to rush to get out the door every morning.

Favorite quick breakfast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Carnation Breakfast Essentials Original Nutritional Powder Drink Mix has been a game changer for my mornings. I love how quick and easy it is to make—just mix it with milk, and you’ve got a delicious, creamy drink that actually keeps me full. The flavor is so good, especially the chocolate, which tastes like a treat but without feeling heavy or too sweet. I also love that it’s packed with vitamins and protein, so I feel like I’m starting my day on the right foot, even when I’m in a rush. It’s perfect for those mornings when I don’t have time for a full breakfast. Honestly, it’s become a staple in my routine, and I can’t recommend it enough!

So good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Carnation breakfast essentials nutritional powder drink mix was gifted to me from Influenster in the flavor rich milk chocolate. This chocolate milk is easy to prepare you just grab a glass of cold milk and mix in one packet of powder until it dissolves. I love this option because the flavor is good even my daughter (4yr) likes how it tastes. This gives her great nutrient.

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.

10/10 recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The taste of this product is so good we love it in this house. It’s so easy when you’re in a rush and don’t have time to eat something. The packaging is pretty simple and there’s no nasty texture the powder dissolves fairly quick. We’ve already purchased another box that’s how good it is!

Delicious!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm already a fan of Carnation instant breakfast and use it daily for my son whose medication can make him lose his appetite(doctor recommended) so I was definitely excited for us to try this new flavor of cookies n creme. It was such a hit my son has been requesting I buy these ready to drink instead of the chocolate packets I buy now which would be nice for taking on the go for sure. It keeps my mind at ease knowing that my son will still get some very important vitamins, minerals and protein in his daily shake. I have been buying Carnation for years and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon,I just request that you make the cookies n creme flavor available in the packets please and thank you!

Overloaded with Sugar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was originally drawn in by the 10 grams of protein, 21 vitamins & minerals, antioxidants that are prominent on the front. I chilled the drink and had it this morning. Upon first taste, it’s thick. It’s tastes like the leftover milk at the bottom of a bowl of sugary cereal. Once you are passed that, you are hit with the after taste of minerals and vitamins. The sugar content is overpowering. I turned the bottle over to see 41 grams of sugar!! 15 grams of that is added sugars with 0 fiber!!! I would much rather take a vitamin in the morning to get my daily dose than drink this sugary syrup. No thank you. Not for me.

Tried all the flavors except Strawberry

Have tried all of them except Strawberry. Milk Chocolate is easily the best flavor. And easily the worst flavor has to be the Mixed Berry. It's just terrible. I wish I could get a refund or something, I don't know what to do with the rest of the pack. Whatever you do don't buy the mixed berry.

Very sweet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to try Instant Breakfast in the mixed berry flavor, as I love the chocolate and vanilla, but I was disappointed with how sweet it was. I had a hard time finishing it. I think I’ll stick to the basic flavors!
