According to dietary experts at the American Dietetic Association, the key to staying energized and setting a positive tone for the day is eating a breakfast that includes carbohydrates, protein and fiber – essential ingredients to get your day started right. While carbohydrates and protein don’t seem to be an issue, Americans are not getting enough fiber. In fact, according to nutrition experts, Americans consume only about half of the amount of fiber they need each day1.
In response to the missing fiber in American diets, CARNATION® INSTANT BREAKFAST® has added inulin fiber to its long list of healthful benefits with the recent introduction of its No Sugar Added Powders with Fiber and SPLENDA®. Providing at least three grams of fiber in every serving, twice the protein of an egg, and twice the calcium of yogurt2, CARNATION® INSTANT BREAKFAST® No Sugar Added Powders with Fiber will fill you up without slowing you down, so that you can be at your best, all day long.
“National survey research tells us that people who get the closest to the daily recommendation for fiber often get a large percentage of that from their breakfast choices,” said Ann Wohlstetter, marketing director, Nestlé Nutrition Company. “CARNATION® INSTANT BREAKFAST® No Sugar Added Powders with Fiber offer a convenient solution to the fiber gap and the hectic morning routine.”
Fiber plays an important role in supporting a healthy digestive system and overall health and wellness. In fact, recent studies suggest that people with higher fiber intake may lower their risk of developing certain health conditions, such as high cholesterol, coronary heart disease, and diabetes1. The recommended daily intake of dietary fiber for adults is 20 to 35 grams per day3. Foods such as nuts, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are also great sources of fiber.
CARNATION® INSTANT BREAKFAST® No Sugar Added Powders with Fiber and SPLENDA® are available in Classic French Vanilla, Rich Milk Chocolate, Variety Pack (8-.705 oz. packets, SRP $4.49) and a Rich Milk Chocolate Canister (8.46 oz., SRP $5.69). This new and improved powder drink mix can be found in supermarkets nationwide beginning in April. For nutritious recipe ideas, visit: CarnationInstantBreakfast.com.
