Vanilla is great

This is great for people in a hurry, or even people who want to add a few healthy calories to their diet.

Excellent breakfast when in rush

Love it!! Have been giving it to my kids everyday in breakfast for the past 6 years. Keeps them full until lunch time.

Saving me though post-op recovery!

I am unable to take any solid foods, even liquids are difficult due to pain! This brings me so much more energy than I'm able to get. I have had the Breakfast Essentials Classic Vanilla powder since the early 2000s as a kid.

Good but prone to lumps

This is good chocolate milk. The only drawback is that it can be hard to stir well enough so that no lumps remain at the bottom. If you mix it in a hand-held shaker it does well. My adult children like it.

Autism approved

This is the best thing ever. My son is non verbal Autistic and very picky when it comes to food and flavor but not with breakfast essential he absolutely loves it and it's good for him with all the added Vitamins.

MEMBERSHIP RIPOFF

I used to be able to purchase in the store. It was a big seller. Now you have to pay shipping to purchase it and you can no longer buy in the store.

Love it!

Love this stuff! Freeze it at night and micro it for 45 sec in the AM. Break it up and eat it with a spoon. Sams has a great price and the shipping is prompt and it is always in good shape when I receive it. Will order again.

Carnation Breakfast

Easy to dissolve in milk. The only thing I didn't care for was I could only purchase vanilla flavor. Wished we could get strawberry or chocolate, too.

Sam’s bring back the Vanilla in powder please

My kids love breakfast essentials, specially the powder over the ones ready to drink but for some reason they prefer the vanilla instead of chocolate, they’re not drinking the chocolate ones every morning like the vanilla, so, they stop drinking it, not going to be buying this one if they don’t like it to much. Is not for everybody taste, There’s need to be options on flavors…. You guys are making the same with slim fast powder only chocolate, you can add some chocolate to the vanilla if you want chocolate but if is chocolate you cannot change the flavor to only vanilla, please stop going in a monotonous way with the same product without choice on flavors.
