Reviews
Delicious
From: lala dontcare | May 20, 2025
I love the flavor, convenience, and the price compared to other meal replacement mixes. Those are amounts if you make it with Milk. Many of us drink milk alternatives.
Remove carageenan
From: | Oct 01, 2024
Love it so much... drinking carnation for many years. It is a great treat for me... the carageenan isn't healthy..I wish you would remove it... that's it. Otherwise greatest drink with milk ever! Thank You
All my life

I've been using this product since I was a young boy, but, why the sugar? It's suppose to be for health, so PLEASE stop putting sugar in it.
Fortified coffee!
From: | Jul 09, 2024
We use Carnation Instant Breakfast in morning to flavor coffee with a nutritional boost... mocha latte we can feel good about!
Delicious And Nutritious, But Too Expensive
From: | May 29, 2024
Carnation Breakfast Essentials is delicious but a bit pricey so I only buy it when it is on sale (rarely) or I have a coupon (seldom). A good alternative is Ovaltine. It is also very nutritious and the cost per ounce of Ovaltine is quite a bit less.
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.
French vanilla
From: | Mar 27, 2024
I Livorno the French vanilla the strawberry need a little more strawberry flavor I really wish they would bring back the malt flavor
Love the product but the packaging is worrisome
From: | Feb 22, 2024
There's a plastic top with no attachment meaning anyone can open it without a person being aware. Then the simple plastic is easily puncturable without anyone knowing it. Growing up with the Tylenol scandal/poisonings this package makes me very nervous.
Love the taste…BUT…
From: Stephanie _65a7de54c8b4c | Jan 17, 2024
I love the flavor, convenience, and the price compared to other meal replacement mixes. My issue is I feel the company misleads consumers by listing protein and nutrient amounts on the front of the packaging. Those are amounts if you make it with Milk. Many of us drink milk alternatives. I believe the package contents should be displayed on the front. It is a sales tactic that is making me look for a different product.
