I bought 3 24-count packs and had to return all three. My six year old hates the taste of the new formula. I thought it was all in her head because of new packaging and so as placebo I poured the new bottle in one of the old pediasure bottles she had finished. However, that didn't make any difference. She hated it and refused to drink. Please go back to old formula.

My son has Autism and I can barely get him to eat. These drinks have kept him healthy. He has been drinking the Chocolate flavor only for 6+ years! He drinks between 2-4 daily. Since the change in taste my son refuses to drink them. I would like to know if whatever this change in taste was will also be coming to the Pediasure sidekicks chocolate flavor as well? I have 7 boxes with 24 bottles in each that my son will no longer drink. Now I have to find something else. If the sidekicks are not changing I will buy those instead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I got the chocolate version of this formula. My child is 4, and she's a very picky eater. Trying to get her to eat veggies is akin to World War 3. So, I a couple of silent prayers before we mixed her 'chocolate milk.' So, I let my daughter put in the scoops of powder, measure and pour in the water, and stir it up. Then, she drank it. And y'all she drank all of it. Hallelujah. So, here's my observations. You use a lot of the powder for one drink (I think it's 5 scoops to 3/4 cup of water). Initially, I let my daughter 'stir' the mixture, but there were still clumps in there, so you really need to be able to shake this up to get all the powder to dissolve into a liquid consistency. I didn't use a shaker, though. We mixed it up in one of those plastic cups with a built-in straw, and I just took the straw out, plugged the hole with my finger, and shook it, which worked fine. I tasted it myself, and it does taste like chocolate milk, and considering my picky child loves it, then I think the taste is child-approved. Finally, this drink is loaded with vitamins and minerals, and I really feel supplementing my child's diet with this drink.

I was confused. ITS NOT PINK ANYMORE. My daughter loves pediasure. It’s Been 12 years since she’s been drinking this wonderful milk. But then July/28/2024 I got the milk. I was going to right a report until I looked it up. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because my daughter says it does not taste the same. Maybe it’s her mind playing tricks but she refuses to like this change. Please bring back the pink color.

My seven year old son loves this stuff. It is great for him because it can hard to get him to eat all the foods he needs to stay healthy. For me the only drawback is the price but I find it is worth it for making sure my son is getting the nutrients that he needs.

Our son is an incredibly picky eater!! He hasn't eaten anything green since he was a baby!! The only vegetable he likes is the carrot! The only approved protein is the chicken nugget! He is now 10 years old and has been drinking Pediasure for many years. He says "it tastes good and helps him feel strong!" I would recommend this product to anyone struggling to get their child to eat a balanced diet!! #AbbottEmployeeSpouse

I have an older child who is a very picky eater, and runs about four miles a day with sports. Her weight gain was really poor this year and her BMI was putting her in the <1 percentile on the growth chart with almost no weight gain in a year. We started making a ton of dietary changes for her with high protein, but this is one of the few high calorie things she will eat with minimal fuss. The taste apparently “tastes good at first and then starts to be disgusting”. However 8 oz is at least not a lot to consume. We got a good report from her doctor and had gained 5 pounds in 1.5 months, so it is with the price tag for those who need it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried this for my 4 year old granddaughter who goes through spells of not wanting to really eat. It tastes great(as said by her). Hopefully this will help her maintain or even gain a little weight. And it's made by a great company.

My son loves the power (wont drink the shakes). We always mixed with whole milk and he would drink with no issues. The new formula has concentrated milk protein which seems to be causing a reaction on his face. It would have been nice if they kept the old product to mix with milk and created this new mix w water product as a separate option

My son goes through periods, some times he eats well but he is usually a picky eater and a nibbler. Pediasure is a peace of mind to me; during those picky times when he just don't want to even try his meal is reassuring to know he gets some form of nutrition. He likes the taste, particularly the vanilla flavor, some times I even use it as a motivation. I definitely recommend it!
