Meh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really don't know how to feel about this shake mix. The reason I got it in the first place was because some days they are pickier than normal and I figured giving this 'supplement' would help them on days where they didn't eat enough or didn't eat foods with very good supplemental calories. However, our two year old and five year old were both not pleased with the taste. I even tried chilling it in the freezer and fridge to give it more of a shake-like texture and it still took way too much convincing to even get them to take sips.

They love the taste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My two daughters have been drinking this. The powder blends very well without much clumping. It is smooth and easy for my girls to digest. They love the rich vanilla flavor. They call it their milkshake of the day.

Kid approved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my son since I was a concerned whether he was getting enough nutrients in his diet. He is going through a picky phase and refuses to eat a lot of the wholesome meals I make. I wanted to introduce something that could provide him with what his body needs to grow as well as something that was tasty, considering his picky phase. I hit the jackpot with this! My son not only loves it but he has gone through an incredible growth spurt...almost overnight. It has really over exceeded my expectations.

Having trouble getting my daughter to drink it

I was given a sample product and was highly recommended from my daughters pediatrician but I am having so much trouble getting her to drink it. I have tried chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. My little one is an extremely picky eater; falling behind on gaining weight. I need help please... advise.

Lots of Puking

All flavors of Pediasure caused my son to puke after every meal. He liked the taste, but strawberry in particular was disgusting once puked. Laundry generally needed to be washed at least three times to remove the reek. Chocolate was also extra bad, as it stained any clothes that were puked on.

Wrong flavor in a wrong bottle

So I got a pack of strawberry flavored pediasure for my kids,and it turned out to be vanilla... I opened like 3 and it was the same. So I bought another one,and it was still the same... please make it makes sense. My kids love strawberry flavored.. I am left with 2 packs of pediasure with no kids to take them. What am I to do with this?!!

PediaSure strawberry shakes are now off white in color due the removal of red 3. We left the color of the shake on the PediaSure strawberry labels pink to help differentiate the strawberry flavor from vanilla on store shelves. The strawberry formulations have “actual product color not depicted on label” callout on the front of the label. Our team would like to speak with you to learn more and see how we can help. We can be reached at 800-850-7677, M-F from 8:30am-5pm, ET and be sure to reference customer#04670970 when you call.

Please bring back the old formula!

My child is used to love this but ever since formulation changed her tummy would ache after she drinks this new one. She is lactose intolerant and with the old one we would just mix it with lactaid. This new formulation gives her bad reactions. Please please please bring the old one back. Please make the original mix available again. Thank you.

Perfect for the picky eaters

My child, at the age of two, is going through a phase where he skips meals. I give him the pediasure to supplement his uneven diet. He enjoys drinking all the different flavors in the line. I feel confidant that by drinking pediasure he is getting some of his nutritional needs that he needs.

It really works!!

My son is 17 months and was falling a little behind, so we started pediasure at his 15 month check up! He’s gained 2 pounds and grew an inch in that amount of time! I love knowing he’s getting everything he needs. He loves this flavor and all of the flavors. I’ve had trouble finding the berry flavor though.

Flavor changed

My daughter has been drinking one a day for the past 2 years in order to help keep her growth and weight on track. She has always loved it until you changed the product packaging and the flavor. I tried it myself and did notice a difference. She refuses to drink them now and has asked me to go searching for the "old bottles". Please go back to the old formula.
