[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the berry flavor of the drink, although I usually purchase the chocolate flavor. Being a bigger guy, this doesn't fill me up if i'm in a rush, but my kids love it and it is a great alternative to having them eating nothing for breakfast. The kids like to grab it on their way out to go to school. I would purchase again because my family likes it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not a great "breakfast" person early in the morning. I just can't stomach it. That is where Carnation Breakfast Essentials comes in really handy. I recently got the Classic French Vanilla flavor to try. I grabbed it one morning as I went out the door..Shook it up, drank it down...it was so delicious and filling. No nasty aftertaste. This will definately become a part of my morning routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last week as I was looking for something different to add to my diet. The graphics on the front caught my eye! Crisp strawberry and blueberry! I liked the fact it had nothing artificial also. It’s a great nutritional drink.

Pediasure is all my granddaughter takes since she's special needs. Since the national shortage, can no longer find berry flavored. Tried Carnation Mixed Berries and she's tolerating very well. Her GI clinic is ok with it as the caloric intake is similar.

I tried this chocolate Carnation Breakfast Essentials because it's a lot cheaper than the quick nutrition drink I've used for a long time. This is good-especially when really cold--but it's more like chocolate milk than the chocolate shake/malt the other is like. I prefer the thick, rich taste of the other, but because I go through so much of these drinks, I wonder if I should have more of this one, to save money.

[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 liked this breakfast drijnk very much. I put it in thed refrigerator and it was nice and cold. I can't wait to try more flavors. Need more flavor selections. But make sure you drink them cold right out of the fridge.

For years carnation breakfast essentials chocplate bottles have been my limited eater's breakfast. The entire taste has changed! It tastes like spoiled milk now. I hope they go back to the original formulation of this once outstanding product. Zero star

My dad is at that point where he doesn’t want to eat as much as he used to. The 240 cal from these drinks are awesome for rounding off his requirements. I do wonder if he needs to take a lactose pill when drinking this as he’s in tolerant to it? Anyone know?

[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!
