[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a creamy milk chocolate drink. I loved how velvety and rich the chocolate is. This is good for breakfast and as an afternoon drink. I have even tried this with black tea and tapioca pearls, and voila - a chocolate milk tea drink. Super love this and will buy for sure!
Too much sugar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son really liked it but the sugar count was too high for me. Packaging is pretty on par with other brands. Consistency was about the same as others.

I absolutely love these, BUT they give me headaches. They include Stevia along with sugar. I found my problem. I always avoid anything diet or sugar free as I can't have alternative sweeteners. Now I have to check every label because nothing is safe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This protein shake is good. It tastes good like chocolate but does leave a bit of an aftertaste. The drink is smooth and not grainy like other protein drinks are. The one thing I was a bit concerned about was the amount of calories. I did think it has a lot more than other drinks that I’ve had before. Other than that, it’s a good drink.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this carnation instant breakfast. It’s an easy grab and go breakfast. The packaging is good for the product. I only give this 3 stars because there are other quick grab and go products that are more nutritious.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this product from Influenster and Carnation in exchange for my honest opinion. I recieved milk chocolate. It doesn't have much of a vitamin taste to it which is good. You can get your nutrition on the go for and age except young children at 240 calories, triple the amount of vitamin D in milk, 10 grams of protein, us vitamins and minerals. It is gluten-free and gives recycling instructions since it is coated cardboard. Sugar ir a bit high at 11 grams. I think they could do a dark chocolate to get away with less sugar, not sure about the milk chocolate I have. It won't doen smooth and creamy, not too thin or thick.
Huge hit!

[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.] Packaging is very light and easy carry especially if you’re on the go for a quick grab for Breakfast. Ingredients seem to be simple not very healthy, but not very sugary compared to others. Taste wise It’s pretty good. I actually bought more to have for breakfast when I’m on the go. 
No thanks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flavor of this drink is ok, not my favorite. It’s unfortunate that the ingredients are bad. There is no reason for oil to be in a drink. I will not be purchasing.
Delicious, grab and go!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Carnation Breakfast Essentials in chocolate flavor is a delightful product that brings back nostalgic memories of childhood while providing a nutritious start to the day. The rich chocolate taste is absolutely wonderful, making it a treat to enjoy for breakfast or even as a snack. In terms of effectiveness nutritional value is packed with essential vitamins and minerals. It typically contains key nutrients such as vitamins A, C, D, E, B6, and B12, which support overall health and wellness. The inclusion of protein, often around 10 grams per serving, helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning. The quality of the ingredients is good, as emphasizes using wholesome components that contribute to a balanced diet. This attention to ingredient quality ensures that you’re not just indulging in a sweet treat but also fueling your body with essential nutrients. The packaging is also noteworthy; it's attractive and convenient, making it easy to grab on the go. The design often evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminding many of the comforting flavors from their childhood. Overall, in chocolate flavor is a delicious and nutritious choice that combines the joy of indulgence with health benefits, all while reminding us of simpler, sweeter times.
Delicious and nutritious!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best meal replacement drink I have ever had. I was shocked by how good it tasted. The taste reminds me of chocolate breakfast cereal and I love it. It doesn’t taste chalky or weird like other meal replacement drinks I’ve tried. The consistency is on the thicker side, like a silky yogurt drink. It’s definitely filling, I tend to drink half of one bottle in the morning and save the rest for later in the day. I was very impressed. Looking at the ingredients, it has tons of vitamins and minerals. I have already recommended this to two friends. Definitely will be buying again in the future
Yummy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be completely honest, I wasn't expecting much from this drink, I figured it would've tasted watered down like other brands I've tried in the past. Boy was I wrong! Right off the bat, you could smell the cocoa in the drink before you even taste it. My first reaction after my first sip was, wow, this tastes EXACTLY like cocoa pebbles! It was so rich and smooth, initially it was a little grainy but I didn't mix it enough and the next one I shook it really well and it no longer had a grittiness to it. As for my lactose sensitive stomach, I've had no issues at all. If this were regular milk, I'd be flipping a coin to see if I'd be OK or if I'd be spending the next couple hrs in the bathroom. I am very pleased with this drink as it completely surpassed my initial expectations.
