[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It tasted spoiled like it had been left out in heat or something for way to long during shipping. It could have been great, maybe but I couldn't get past the spoiled taste to actually drink more than 2 sips. I tossed the rest because it was gross.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually had my daughter, who is very picky,try the cookies and cream flavor.she absolutely loved it she had no clue that it was giving her vitamins and supplements her body needed! I am so happy that she liked it and going to buy some for her to go with her normal breakfast routine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder Drink Mix in Rich Milk Chocolate is a fantastic choice for smoothies, which I make often. It serves as a delicious alternative to traditional protein powder. The rich chocolate flavor is perfect, offering just the right amount of sweetness without any unpleasant aftertaste, which is often a concern with protein powders. The only downside is that it doesn't mix well without a blender. Simply stirring it into milk can leave clumps, detracting from the taste and experience. The kids use an electric whisker in the mornings to get the right texture. I approve of using Carnation over just chocolate syrup, since they drink a lot of chocolate milk. Overall, this drink mix is a tasty and nutritious addition to any morning routine—just remember to blend it for the best results!

Here are somethings I love about it it has 21 vitamins and minerals,10 grams of protein , twice the vitamin d has a glass of milk , has much calcium has 6oz of yogurt, it’s something you can drink on the go . It doesn’t have an after taste . It helps to keep he full until I can grab something to eat. All in all I loved it and will be buying for my family .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love the taste of this shake! They can be picky eaters and often get into habit of wanting to only eat the same foods for days at a time. This drink really helps fill in the nutritional gaps from their picky diets. And I don't have to fight with them to drink it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all the flavors they offer, but this Cookies and Cream flavor is super yummy! It's new and tastes like the flavor it says it is. It's sweet and I know I am getting the nutrients I need, even on the go. It's portable, very easy to take on a quick trip or easily packs up for longer trips. I grab one of these over abything else because it's better for me and fills me up like a little snack. The tastes is pretty good and I feel a bit more energized after consuming. I definitely recommend having these in your fridge for a quick pick-me-up or just no time for breakfast, grab one and go!

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.] The cookies and cream one is really good it's nice to have a to-go breakfast just keep it in the refrigerator or not if you go in the morning and you'll be full until lunch time when you're ready to eat really good

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive tried various flavors of this product before and was intrigued when I saw a flavor I haven't had yet. This berry flavored breakfast essential is the best tasting one I have tried to date with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry come together in this drink with a creamy refreshing finish.
