Reviews
Please Don't Discontinue
From: | Jul 26, 2025
My kids love this mix, which helps fill the gaps in their diet restrictions. They do not enjoy Boost flavor, which is recommended in lue of Breakfast Essentials. This mix has been a staple in our household, and we need it for optimal health.
Love Carnation
From: R Zay | Jul 08, 2025
We have been drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast in our house for years. I wish you sold the classic French vanilla or strawberry in the canister since we aren't chocolate fans. We would buy it more if we could get it this way.
Light start

Thank you for updating the packaging, it is easier to open with less spillage. This has been my breakfast for decades! Love it. Miss the vanilla, though.❤️
Delicious

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

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!

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

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
