Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready to Drink with Fiber, Rich Milk Chocolate, 8 FL OZ Carton (Pack of 24) (Packaging May Vary)Rainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

I've come to depend on these little cartons of deliciousness to fill the gaps in my nutrition caused by working 2nd shift and having the eating habits/palate of a 12-year-old. Frequently I'll have one of these after a meal, especially something spicy. They taste great and are small enough to chug down very quickly, leaving a nice mouth feel and sealing in the spicy stuff.I love that they're reasonably priced (24-pack lasts a while!), though I wish the strawberry flavor was on sale as frequently as the chocolate. I prefer the strawberry for flavor but both are quite tasty.

The taste and texture are just like chocolate milk. And, unlike Premier Protein, there is no artificial sweetener aftertaste! I'm drinking these to supplement my diet because I've lost lots of weight. Just discovered that Boost is also a Nestle product with similar ingredients, but with higher calorie options. I plan to do a taste comparison to see if it's as good as the Breakfast Essentials - but for now, this is just what I hoped for.

I have a skinny minnie. She doesn't like to eat breakfast before she goes to school so she takes one of these to drink on the bus. We also have her drink one after school. So far, so good! She loves the taste which is good because she's a picky eater.

Good quality for the price. Calories and protein are great for the size. Easy to drink unlike some protein drinks that can be a bit too thick.

Wee little bitty cartons of thick chocolatish something or other, doesn't taste bad, but it's only a couple sips.

I can't say enough good things about this drink! It is very good and smooth, I would say not to drink it straight out the box like I did though lol.

Affordable and tasty has a lot of protein and great quality

Taste great and great shelf life
