[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by the Carnation Breakfast Essentials nutritional drink. The Rich Milk Chocolate flavor was smooth and rich with minimal aftertaste! It reminded me of Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies breakfast cereal. Eight fluid ounces was the perfect size. With ten grams of protein and only 240 calories, this was a great way to start my day. Additionally, added sugars have been reduced from fifteen grams to only eleven grams per serving. While still more than I had hoped, I’m excited about the progress being made! I’m hoping Carnation releases a sugar free alternative someday. Ultimately, I’d recommend this to anyone, and I can’t wait to buy more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not like this. I was gritty and it tasted like vitamins no matter what I did. It did not taste like a milk shake or thick milk, but it gave me an aftertaste. I will not buy this again. It was disturbingly gross.

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is very tasty and satisfying drink with a lot of great vitamins and nutrient. Good for on the go breakfast or even great for lunch at work. They have so many packed vitamins in one drink. Its So great know that I can get all this in one simple drink and the tased is great not to thick,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always drank just the plan chocolate flavor. I was not a huge fan of the cookies and cream one, it just wasn’t for me but I’m sure other people would really enjoy it. But I will still be getting the chocolate one because it keeps you fuller for longer and I feel like I actually eat something.

[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’ve tried so many different protein drinks and non taste good but this one has been the 1st one that actually taste delicious even my kids like them. The texture is great and don’t taste chalky and doesn’t leave an aftertaste. I love the packaging where it’s quick and easy grab and go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Have Tried the carnations breakfast essentials read to drink cookies and cream flavor and it was really good I feel like it is a great pick me up in the morning with the nutrient you need to get through the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drink is so tasty and delicious. It is so smooth and has a rich chocolate flavor. It tastes just like the powder but pre made which makes it so easy to grab and go. I like the screw on top to keep it from spilling. Love this stuff

[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.
