Great Breakfast
From: DrPepperDrinker | May 14, 2021
I switched more that a year ago and have been drinking the green cap version for breakfast every day. Great taste, great hunger satisfaction. Chocolate is my favorite, but all flavors are good.
Good product to start the day.
From: blaine44 | Mar 31, 2021
I have used this product for years. A mix of Breakfast Essentials with milk, then a cup of coffee with toast and honey and I'm set for the day.
Chocolate malt was the best, please bring it back!

Chocolate malt was the best, please bring it back!
Sugar!! Make your own choc smoothie instead!!
From: melanie | Mar 15, 2021
The 19 grams of sugar present in the Carnation Breakfast Essentials powder drink mix equates to almost 5 teaspoons. That means if you were to drink one Carnation Breakfast Essential drink every weekday for a year, you’d get an extra 1,300 teaspoons of sugar from your breakfast alone. That’s 48 cups!
Been using this for decades
From: Aviele | Mar 15, 2021
We always bought the variety pack because that was the only way to get the chocolate MALT flavor. Now you can't get it at all. It would be nice to be able to have that again. I'd buy a case of it! :-(
I miss Carnation Instant Breakfast
From: Will | Mar 06, 2021
In the 1970s as a child my favorite flavor was eggnog. It was also available in vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and chocolate malt. I hope they give serious thought to bringing back the classic flavors.
Variety pack pre made
From: Teresa | Mar 03, 2021
I love the premade shake to take and go on the run. I really wish you would make a variety pack of the pre-made for barbaric patients who need high protein. Also, would you please bring the chocolate malt back. I would take that to work everyday if available.
Where is the chocolate MALT?
From: Tombee | Feb 19, 2021
I’ve been seeing this advertised on tv recently and decided to have a try again. I remember when I was a kid, my brother and I would fight over who gets the malt flavor in the variety pack. Needless to say, very disappointed they don’t sell the malt flavor any longer. Why?
BRING BACK THE VANILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: apppro | Feb 18, 2021
I WANT THE VANILLA>>>>> Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Light Start™ Powder ALL that added sugar to other versions is NO GOOD for seniors.
Bring back Dark Chocolate
From: Aileen | Feb 16, 2021
I have been drinking Carnation Breakfast Essentials for 20+ years. They were especially great during both my pregnancies, they supplied great nutrition. I accidentally bought Dark Chocolate, but it quickly became my favorite. I'm disappointed it was discontinued. Please bring it back!
