Carnation Breakfast Essentials Complete Nutritional Drink Strawberry 1.26 oz. Packet 60 Ct

Its Carnation instant breakfast. How can you go wrong? Been drinking this stuff since I was a kid, and love it just the same. Easy breakfast on the go, thats got some nutrition and still maintains a decent taste.

Carnation breakfast drinks have been around for long time and the quality and value for the money is great . The shakes are easy to make and come in great flavors that my family enjoys . The shake will fill you up on the morning and get you on your way . The nutrients and sugar content are perfect for a great breakfast meal

One pack of mix, half cup of milk, quarter cup of Greek yogurt. Tasty.

I use these for my son every morning. It's great for getting the extra vitamins.

I used to drink this in my younger days - when it was called Carnation Instant Breakfast - and was missing it! Didn't realize that they still make it, and can report that it tastes exactly the same. Was happy to buy it by the carton!

( just not how it "was" 40 years ago )

I'm usually a chocolate guy but can't find my 17.7 oz canisters anywhere so I decided to switch it up for these strawberry packets. Won't go back to chocolate, these are better. 60 packets for about $30 is a deal. Date on mine says May 2026. Probably buy more before these disappear too.

My 12 year old daughter will not eat eggs, pancakes, waffles, french toast or Cream of Wheat for breakfast but loves Carnation Instant Breakfast. Now and then she will eat Oatmeal with fruit. I make her a shake almost every morning. I buy strawberries on sale when in season, freeze them and transfer them to my vacuum sealer and seal and freeze (not re-frozen). Then I use 1 cup skim milk (usually add a tablespoon of plain yogurt), 1 raw egg (no we've never had a problem with salmonella - in 3 years - started these at 9), add 7-8 frozen strawberries, 1 teaspoon organic Chai seed - blend in blender THEN add 1 strawberry packet (if we have strawberry, if not vanilla), mix just 5-10 seconds just to mix the strawberry powder and voila, she is a happy camper. I did a spreadsheet between my recipe, oatmeal (flavored ones with plain added), cream of wheat with about the same ingredients and the Carnation Instant Breakfast came out WAY ahead in nutrition. The only thing I don't like is the 19 grams sugar.I checked with her pediatrician and was told not to worry about the sugar as my daughter is VERY active, is on a swim team and swims 5 days a week, is slender and in very good health. (Your doctor may have different advice for your child so DO NOT take this information as gospel for your child!). I also use the vanilla flavor with blueberries (fresh or frozen with no sugar added) and she loves those as well. The chocolate either milk or dark also makes a great shake with strawberries, blueberries or a combination. I think the taste is a tad different overall from Nestle strawberry drink but I also like this shake described above. I hope this helps some. Taste is very subjective so keep that in mind.
