Cookies in a drink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Boost taste amazingly great. If you like how smooth chocolate milk goes down. You will love this even better. It's really great to drink with your breakfast or lunch. I would recommend this to all ages.

Tasty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I was in the hospital I was told to drink carnation breakfast essential because I always skipped breakfast and I wasn't getting the vitamins or nutrients that my body needed. This Berry flavor is the best and it is so tasty so I have no issues drinking this for breakfast.

I loved this so much...so very delicious!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh my gosh, thank you for letting me review this yummy drink. I admit, I was skeptical. It tasted like a chocolate milkshake but one that is healthy for me. So delicious. Very smooth, no aftertaste and from a brand I love and trust. I buy the vanilla and strawberry packages of Carnation Instant Breakfast for my husband and kids and they already love them, so now I am a happy customer as well. Gave me my chocolate fix I crave. Perfect blend of the cookies and cream. I am not a breakfast eater. This morning I decided to try it nice and chilled. I love that it is a healthy drink packed with protein and important nutrients to start my day since breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Great as a meal replacement also. I also love the size of the bottle and how convenient to keep at work. Highly recommended. Exceeded my expectations. I plan on picking more of these bottles up Friday. Thanks!

Energy refill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the energy refill I got when drinking this in the morning. It helped me get my day going and awake alot quicker. I was not a fan of the flavor unfortunately but I can say the product works. Give it a try.

Bring back Classic Malt

We were loyal customers for over 2 decades. The only flavor we liked was the Classic Malt. Sadly it seems Carnation doesn’t want to listen to its customers. For now, we will be purchasing Malt Flavored Ovaltine. Bring the Classic Malt back and we will gladly purchase again.

Great quick breakfast or added to a smoothie

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I remember drinking carnation instant breakfast when I was a kid, this updated version of the product I have never thought to try though and I was not disappointed! The taste is a rich chocolate, even my husband liked it and he’s not a fan of chocolate drinks. He used it in milk and I used it in almond milk and it tasted great. It recommends 8 oz, but it is a little thick that way so if it’s too thick you can add it to a larger amount of liquid. It does take a lot of stirring to mix in, I recommend a whisk or small blender to get it mixed together better. I have also branched out and tried the vanilla and strawberry flavors now and they are great in my smoothies I make with frozen berries! I am on a gluten free diet and have not had any issues drinking this. While it is gluten free there are cross contamination risks for this so obviously be cautious if you have more specific limitations. But for me this is a great option when I need some extra calories.

Good taste and nutritious

[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!

Surprisingly tasty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a surprise taste. It actually taste like cookies and cream. The was a slight taste of powder (like when you make a nutrient drink from a packet and not the ready made stuff). I wasn't full from drinking it but I wasn't hungry either. Meaning it was a good breakfast option if you are on the go. And I was good until lunch time.

try the Cookies N' Creme

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to prepare for summer. My children are the type who wake up ready to go. My kids can go from sleep to fully dressed in the yard in 5 minutes flat. They don't seem to have time for a bowl of cereal and a cup of juice so I had to try something to get them through summertime with a healthy nutritional start to the day. These drinks are easy. They grab one on the way out and you feel less guilty. The cap can be put back on if you have one of those slow drinkers. We have only had the cookies n' creme flavor, which they love, but next run I plan to try strawberry. I've read the nutritional facts. Is it the most healthy way to start the day for children? Probably not. Will they drink it? Yes. Is it better than not eating breakfast? YES! Convenience coupled with the good price I call it a Win.

Great taste, no grit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter drinks these daily to help gain weight. We are excited to try new flavors, she has really only had chocolate. Most days she struggles to drink them. Cookies and cream however went down so fast. I barely got a sip. It had great flavor. It was not gritty, but very smooth. A new favorite for sure.
