[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ew. I love carnation breakfast drinks. I usually drink the chocolate but this mixed berry flavor is disgusting. It literally tastes like I’m drinking cough syrup. I do not recommend this flavor at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The taste is nice. It’s a good option for on the go. I also like that it has a long shelf life, and I can leave some in my office for when I need a snack. I’d recommend adding a pastry, yogurt, or egg sandwhich to make it a filling breakfast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge fan of Carnation Instant Breakfast. I have been using it for years. However, recently I tried the Carnation Breakfast Drink in the flavor of cookies and creme. The flavor was fantastic. It tastes like Chocolate ice cream with cookies and creme added. It was very filling too. I love the fact that I can grab it on the go and get the vitamins and nutrients that I need. That is important to me especially with my family. This is going to be a new addition to our shopping list. I didn't have any cons about this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Breakfast essentials nutritional drink has 10 gms of protein, 21 vitamin na and minerals, enriched with vitamin D. Superb nutrition. Decent taste. On the go breakfast option. Rich milk chocolate is a good flavor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know what I was expecting with this one but the berry flavor just seemed odd to me. It was almost like one of my kids spilled their fruit juice in my vanilla Carnation Breakfast Essentials. It wasn’t terrible, but I won’t buy again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is delicious! Really tasty, almost like a fairlife dupe! Love that it has protein and added vitamins to make me feel good about consuming. The to go pouch makes it really easy to bring on my commute and gives me something delicious to look forward to!

[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’m torn here. Let me explain. I used to drink the powder form of this as a kid and loved it. Maybe it was the way it was made (fresh milk + ice like a shake) that made it taste better. These are like thick chocolate milks, so definitely different. The texture is smooth, but it’s thick and leaves you thirsty, so definitely have a drink handy afterwards. They’re decent for what they are— a way to get protein in the morning if you don’t want to eat breakfast. I just found it had an aftertaste I didn’t enjoy. My boyfriend liked it though, and he’ll gladly drink them before work. I wish I enjoyed it more, I thought I would given how much I enjoyed it in the 90s!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who always rushes to get out of the house in the mornings and tends to skip breakfast, this is a great meal replacement and it’s quick and easy. It tastes absolutely delicious and doesn’t feel powdery at all.
