Sugar/Stevia
From: | Jan 22, 2025
I absolutely love these, BUT they give me headaches. They include Stevia along with sugar. I found my problem. I always avoid anything diet or sugar free as I can't have alternative sweeteners. Now I have to check every label because nothing is safe.
From: Staff Member | Feb 24, 2025
We're sorry to hear you are not a fan of our Carnation Breakfast Essentials® High Protein Nutritional Drink, due to the ingredient Stevia. Stevia is a plant-based food ingredient approved for use as a general purpose sweetener in many food products in the US and around the world. We would like a chance to gather some more information from you and ask that you please call us to speak with one of our Registered Dietitians, who may be able to offer some other product options. They are available from 8am-6pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday at 1-800-289-7313.
Product good
From: | Sep 09, 2024
The product itself tastes good, but why is it filled with things that will make you sick or kill you. Crazy that you are ok with peddling this garbage.

COPPER SULFATE is toxic
From: | Aug 22, 2024
Possibly the reason your customers are getting sick. How long has COPPER SULFATE been used in your breakfast essentials drinks? I’ve been buying them through Amazon, the recently purchased box on August 6th 2024 has made me extremely ill.

Delicious
From: Michelle_6646a650a5b11 | May 17, 2024
I was prepping for a medical procedure and was allowed to drink, but not eat, the day before. I’m also lactose intolerant so I got the ready-made bottles. They were delicious and served me well.
Love your breakfast drink
From: | Jan 12, 2024
Love this drink with the extra protein please do not add artificial sugars to any of your drinks. I am very allergic.

Protein Breakfast drink
From: Mike Lourenco | Jun 17, 2023
Protein has great a taste. I've been a long time Carnation breakfast drinker. Bring back the Malt flavor!
the drink itself is awesome,
From: 4 PapPap | Mar 09, 2023
the drink it self is awesome five star, however the price from the company is high, i can actually buy the product cheaper from super market than from the company that makes it, that to me is not right ! if i’m buying as much as i do the price should be cheaper from you than anyone else, my dad eats and drinks nothing else! the carnation breakfast drink is the only thing he can drink,
Very Pleased
From: LadyB | Dec 11, 2022

Special Needs GiGi
From: Mona_62e428426c03a | Jul 29, 2022
Pediasure is all my granddaughter takes since she's special needs. Since the national shortage, can no longer find berry flavored. Tried Carnation Mixed Berries and she's tolerating very well. Her GI clinic is ok with it as the caloric intake is similar.
