I actually bought this about a month ago, put it in the cabinet and promptly forgot about it. I'm not much of a breakfast eater, so something simple and cold appeals to me. I rediscovered them in the cabinet, drank one and LOVED it! Just had another this morning and told my husband that these could certainly become a go-to thing for me. I've seen other reviewers mention how great the Cappuccino flavor was, unfortunately I never had a chance to try it. If it was anywhere as tasty as the Cafe Mocha, by all means, please bring it back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this product for free in exchange for my honest review. My kids liked this but not enough to finish the glass. It’s not a choline milk dupe. They definitely noticed the difference. Worth the money as it does help get in those nutrients. Defying going to be trying other flavors

Ive been buying this product since my daughter was 2 and now she is 7. My daughter's iron was low because she was a picky eater and she only breastfed. After giving her breakfast essentials, her iron when up as well as the other minerals and vitamins she was lacking. I give this to my 3 children who are all lactose.intolerant. I love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Carnation instant breakfast mixed berry flavor is really good. It has vitamins to give you energy to start your day. It's great when your in a hurry or want a quick snack. It was easy on my stomach and really loved the flavor.

I bought a six pack of the Creamy Strawberry for my wife. Now I have drunk Carnations Instant Breakfast since I was a kid & never had any issues. This was a first attempt with the premade containers. I thought it was the same strawberry. Our daughter had a wise idea to try one before my wife had to go to work and was stuck on the road with this as her meal. So, we bust one open. My wife takes a sip and start gagging! We thought she was over acting, so my daughter takes a sip and dose the same. Then I decided it can’t be that bad so, I took a healthy chug and my god it was All I could do to keep it down. It wasn’t bad. It was the taste. What in gods name did you do make this with Pepto, cream, and hint of strawberry? My god the after taste! Was worse than it going down! It lingered for almost a half an hour. I am a taster, it was bad, but my daughter is a super taster so it was super bad. Don’t by this nasty word that can’t be spoke. Just save your selves the horror! I need to see if, I can return the other five containers of the nasty, disgusting stuff !?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready to Drink beverage in Cookies and Cream and it was really good! My kids both tried it and loved the drink! It was a great source of protein and calcium to start their day. I would definitely recommend this drink to start off you or your kids mornings. I look forward to trying other flavors as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been drinking the breakfast essentials for years but chocolate is definitely my favorite. Can be a little hard to mix completely but it’s also nice in banana smoothies too. Not chalky at all & flavor is good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Carnation Breakfast Essentials Original Nutritional Powder Drink Mix - Rich Milk Chocolate tastes good. Seems to effective. Packaging is easy to open. Texture is just like other chocolate powders for making chocolate milk. Seems to be good value.

I’ve been drinking these since 6th Grade (12 years old) they’re so good I’m now 23 and I still buy these regularly! They start my morning off strong and keep me filled up almost the whole day. I worked in a hospital with surgeries and emergencies these were a great way to sub. for a meal. I’m a stay at home mom now and I still have them, and I take about a quart packet and mix it into my 2 year olds milk, he loves it as well! Haha and my husband he’d never had them before until we met and he loves them! We fight over them when they run low. Hands down best! Love them!
