[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are incredibly convenient first off. I’ve got teenagers who aren’t big on breakfast they not only loved the taste but they were actually grabbing one before heading out the door for school. Put this mommas mind a bit more at ease knowing they were starting their days off with something good in them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The taste of this product is really good. It’s creamy, smooth, and has just the right amount of sweetness—not too much, which I really like. It’s perfect for those busy mornings when I don’t have time to sit down for breakfast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I drink carnation instant breakfast powder almost daily and keep on hand for my picky eater when nothing else works. The best part of this ready to drink version is definitely having it ready to go in a rush or to keep by my bed for midnight pregnancy hunger pains. I usually drink the plain chocolate flavor in powder, but do love everything cookies n cream so I was excited for this flavor. It is smooth and no chunks at all which I was slightly concerned it might have considering the flavor, but it doesn't. It tastes similar to the chocolate flavor but with an extra sweetness that is similar to icing flavor without being overly sweet. I really like the flavor and that it doesn't need to be refrigerated to drink (tastes great room temperature or cold). Even my son, who is very picky about his drink flavors liked it so it's definitely a flavor we will stick with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of the French Vanilla yesterday and I could not wait to try it. It was not chalky or rough on the palate, it was a smooth drink that I would recommend to all my family and friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tastes just like chocolate milk. No weird aftertaste or chalkiness. I only gave it 4 stars because it’s not the most healthy drink out there. There’s great added vitamins and proteins but lots of added sugar. Definitely not an everyday drink.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this the other day. Since I am so busy in the morning getting ready for work and I’m not much of a hungry person in the morning I have started to substitute my breakfast with these shakes and they work out so perfect!! They taste so good and make me have that full feeling completely! I love these!! So fast and easy and recyclable also!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is tasty and healthy. I like to have it along with my breakfast. I like the chocolate flavor a lot, and there is no aftertaste. It comes in a small tetrapack. It's great that it contains extra protein.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This carnation drink was very flavorful. It had a nice berry taste. The drink was creamy and went down very smooth. I like that I could get essential vitamins from something that I really enjoy consuming.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Carnation Essentials Ready Berry breakfast drink was perfect to drink on the way to work. I'm not a big fan of breakfast but having the ready berry drink was a good thing. It has a nice berry taste, not the kind the makes you pucker up because it's tart. The drink tasted just like a regular fruit drink. It really was good. Plus it was just enough that I wasn't starving by lunch time. I plan on buying more. This really is perfect if you don't have time for breakfast or not a big fan of breakfast!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never tried the vanilla and usually when we get the breakfast essentials, we always get the powdered ones. WOW! This readio to drink ones are delicious. Not only that, they are packed with nutrition. We ended up ordering cases online because my son likes the vanilla a lot. It's very delicious and perfect on the go!
