I love drinking this when I'm pressed on time but want something filling. This is also an easier way for me to get vitamins. These also came in handy when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes too. I would still want something chocolatey, but this did not spike my blood sugar levels.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Carnation Breakfast Essentials in Rich Milk Chocolate in exchange for my honest review. I mixed the powder according to the directions on the packet using 2% milk. I stirred the mixture for about a minute and most of it dissolved pretty easily. It tasted like chocolate milk and didn’t have any “vitamin” taste to it. There were some small clumps of powder still in the milk that I could taste while drinking. After drinking it, I noticed that some of the chocolate powder didn’t get mixed very well because the bottom of my glass was coated. Maybe If I had a milk frother this would have been mixed better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this Carnation Breakfast mixed berry drink. I actually had mine for a lunch substitution. I drank part of it then added the rest in my smoothie. It was wonderful! The taste was great as well. I like the fact you can just pick up a drink and get all of the nutrients in one small package. I’m not a big breakfast eater so the makes a great alternative option!

Back when it was Instant Breakfast (I still call it that, too), there was an Eggnog flavor. I loved it. Then it went away. I seem to recall enjoying a Mocha flavor, too. It's definitely gone now. Then there was Dark Chocolate. I sometimes mixed it with a little O.J. and vanilla almond milk. LOVED it. And through it all, there was Chocolate Malt. LOVED IT!!! Why? WHY? Why do you keep taking away my favorites?! I still drink it, still get the variety pack because I like the Chocolate and the Vanilla. Don't love the Strawberry, but it's okay. I used to drink it first, and save the Chocolate Malt for last. It's a hard habit to break after 40 years.

If pre diabetic or have diabetes stay away from these shakes! It will skyrocket your blood sugar and then it will take you hours to get your blood sugar under control. The other issues are controversial artificial sweeteners and carrageenan causes cancer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is an initial aftertaste that is a little off putting. It's the vitamins...so if you don't care for that you may want to look elsewhere. If you want a trick to combat it, I have a suggestion. Get some chai tea concentrate and add the powder to your tea mix and add milk. It's both vitamins but also caffeine. It works better

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expected the worst of this product but it was really tasty. Definitely tasted very berry. Im usually the type to lean chocolate. But ill definitely be buying the mixed berry more. Ill be recommending this to my family.
