Delicious!
These are very tasty in my opinion. I like them. I used to always drink other meal-supplement shakes on the go (like ensure) and my friends and family would make fun of me because apparently you're only supposed to drink those if you're sick or old. These basically taste like the same thing and I can now point to the label and say "Hah! It's breakfast!" if anyone tries to make fun.They don't always fill me up for a long time... If I drink them, I try to hold off until I'm just about to work in the morning, that way they hopefully hold me over until lunchtime.

Great for busy days
I got these because I don't always have time to eat breakfast in the morning before getting to campus and getting them shipped directly to me is lots more convenient than getting them at the store (I don't have a car and the bus isn't great for getting bulky groceries). I was so glad I did! These are delicious and better than the Kellogg's Breakfast to Go drinks which I had tried before. I'll definitely be getting these again and maybe trying different flavors.

Yummy!
Absolutely love these shakes in the morning. Tastes sweet enough, without being overwhelmingly chocolatey. I'm sure the sugar-free version is even healthier, but I haven't tried them and love these too much to switch. Good source of vitamins, and especially protein. You definitely have to make sure to shake it very well before drinking, otherwise it tastes disgusting and watery...I've made that mistake a few times when in a rush.

Good for when you're on the go
Carnation Instant Breakfast tastes great ice cold. It is perfect for a busy schedule when you can't make the time to sit down and eat. This drink has a smooth, rich taste. It has more protein than the Special K protein drinks and serves great as a snack if your days typically consist of light exercise and activity. It is not full meal, but it is a great choice if you simply have a hard time deciding what to eat and are a fan of chocolate.

Yum!
I have been buying these for months in cases of three at a time. My husband, who has wrestled with acid reflux issues for most of his adult life, drinks one every morning before work since food is usually out of the question. They're great to-go and you just can't beat Amazon's price for this item in this quantity - even Sam's Club doesn't carry them this inexpensively. These ship -fast- and come very durably packaged, especially if you have Prime shipping. Highly recommend.

I like it!
I have used the dry mix for years but it is not always convenient. I sometimes run out of fresh milk. I decided to try the liquid version. I can keep it on hand and use it without having milk. The taste is not the same as the dry mix but it is good. I will keep this on hand. It's nice to be able to just grab it out of the refrigerator and drink as much, or little, as you want.

I love these!
I really like the taste of these over Ensure ANY day! They come in very handy, especially at work, where I don't have time to sit down and eat breakfast. Even though that is the better thing to do nutrition-wise, at least I know I'm getting some nutrients in my body from drinking these. They're exspensive at Amazon compared to the supermarket. They cost roughly $6.00 for a pack of four bottles at the store.

Great for Breakfast
My husband loves this for breakfast, and it's very nutritious. Tastes almost like a chocolate milkshake. It sure is better than not having any breakfast. I work nights and I don't get up until 11:00, so he can have something that won't hurt his stomach. He's disabled and it is hard for him to cook something for himself for breakfast. I love ordering it from Amazon as it's hard for both of us to lug stuff home from the grocery. This way it's delivered directly to my door and I can stock up.
