Need old flavor back
From: | May 20, 2022
Been drinking these for years, basically my life line of nutrition. Loved the old flavor. The new taste just doesn’t work. If you are new to these, you might think they are good. But they aren’t the same with the new taste.

thank you for removing the carrageenan
From: Ceadda Cole | Apr 28, 2022
I was very ill for over a year, not knowing I was highly sensitive to carrageenan. But am happy to see some of my favorite brands are now removing the carrageenan so I can once again enjoy them.

Almost every day
From: Carol_6261341bd4851 | Apr 21, 2022
I've drank instant breakfast ever since the 1960's. I'm in my 70's now and still drink it. My all time favorite is the chocolate BUT now I really like the strawberry. I mix it with fresh strawberries and banana. OMG it's the best. Actually I love all of them. :)

My Wife's Go to
From: THOMAS_62609b582d4b7 | Apr 20, 2022
This kept my wife alive during Chemo. Made her a breakfast almost everyday with a banana and 2% milk. Started this breakfast when she was at her lowest 89 Lbs. to a normal weight. We still do this breakfast everyday.

The powder doesn't mix with the milk, the taste sucks, it's no longer thick and you dont feel full after drinking it anymore. I won't be buying it and i wont be giving it to my family anymore.

Great easy breakfast!
From: Scarlett | Mar 18, 2022
Honestly, I've had Carnation Instant Breakfast every day since I was in elementary school, unless I'm on vacation, I'll be 63 next week. The Light Start is really very good.

New recipe is terrible
From: | Mar 09, 2022
I’m so disappointed with the new and “improved” recipe. It doesn’t mix well and taste terrible! Please please go back to the original.
