Kid Approved Breakfast

My kids love this for breakfast!! Better taste and way better for them than chocolate milk. Best way to give them vitamins and minerals to begin their days.

Ease of ordering

Carnation Breakfast Essentials 30 pack was an ease to order (2 boxes) and was delivered in just a few days. I ordered online as our Joplin Sam's Club no longer carried this product.

Taste chocolate milk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an easy way to get all the nutrients in just by drinking it. It's really tasty and convenient to bring around and use. I like the portion sizes too.

Work On Packing For Deliverers

product is a great value, however Sam's Club could work on there packing, it was left outside in the rain in the original packages...no plastic bag...NOTHING! Thankfully my husband got home a few minutes after it was delivered, so it wasn't a total nightmare!

My protein power

I am diabetic & had problems with my blood sugar in the morning because I don't usually eat breakfast. Just coffee. I tried several protein drinks but didn't like them. I was told to try Carnation Instant Breakfast Protein every morning. I did & love it. Has definitely helped.

Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready -to- Drink

I am sorry that you did not received my first review. Here it is again: My mom got sick after drinking it. I guess it was something in the ingredients. I can not do any recommending because I do not know other people's health condition--sorry Thank you for asking for my review. I hope that you can have a nice day

I mix with powdered milk - delicious !

When I’m hungry mid morning or mid afternoon, this is the perfect answer. Also, my doctor wants me to increase my calcium intake which this does. One 8 oz glass prepared with skim milk provides 500 mg of calcium. I like the vanilla flavor which is 220 calories per 8oz Glass.

40 years

Forty years ago I had stomach issues. A friend recommended Carnation to try to settle my stomach and I have used it for now 40 years. It tastes good (Choclate) gives me a few hours of energy and keeps my belly happy. One drink with milk in the morning does the trick
