 Nutritous, filling, healthy quick snack Apr 28, 2008
By Roy Massie
I first saw this product mentioned in Men's Health as a recommended breakfast supplement. It tastes pretty good (not too sweet or bitter) and is quite filling. Very healthy, especially if you use skim milk. This product uses Splenda as a sweetener and my doctor says there are no concerns about Splenda the way there are with Aspartame. This has a nice level of protein and extremely low fat - but not over the top protein like body builders like to supplement, and there's no need for blenders etc. - just spoon stir. I drink some almost every morning and it helps curb my apettite. You can prepare and drink in about one minute. The only issue is it is hard to find in local stores - but you get a better deal on line anyway if you order by the case...

A fast and yummy morning treat Mar 23, 2008
By J. Wood
We recently switched from the original formula to this no sugar added formula. It tastes great, has plenty of fiber and protein to stave off hunger for a few hours and is convenient to mix up. Tastes as good as the original to me, and I usually don't enjoy sugar-substitutes. One scoop of this with a cup or so of Soy Milk and I am good to go for the morning.

Good Stuff Apr 15, 2008
By WillametteWolf
I've been using this product for years. It's chocked full o' vitamins and minerals, tastes great, and is easy to prepare. Makes a great "enhancer" for unflavored whey protein too.

Best replacement for ensure Feb 17, 2011
By Catherine Comps
My sister used to work as a rep selling products such as ensure. Years ago she told me that carnation instant breakfast is a very affordable replacement for that costly product with all the same nutritional value. My 89 year old father lives with me and recently had a heart attack. He was too weak to eat, but because he
has a sweet tooth, he was willing to drink this in hot milk all day long, believing it was hot cocoa. The result was he got better quickly and regained the 20 pounds
he had lost. I highly recommend this!

Awesome nutritional supplement Dec 05, 2010
By habblie
Our pediatrician recommended Pediasure for our 2 year old son since he was underweight. He'll go days with hardly eating a thing and doesn't seem to mind. It's very stressful trying to make sure he has a healthy diet. I refuse to go the junk food route just to get food in him. But he needed 1-2 Pediasures a day, and they are prohibitively expensive, about ten bucks for a 6 pack. That's over 100 bucks a month. I tried a couple of substitutes, like Gerber smart drink and Ensure for kids. But he didn't like them as much, and eventually refused to drink them anymore. Ovaltine was an affordable alternative, but it doesn't have nearly as much nutritional value and it has a lot of sugar. In fact, sugar is the first ingredient in lot of these substitutes. I had to keep going back to the outrageously expensive Peidasure and was at my wits end.
I've had the original Carntion Breakfast drink and I loved it many years ago. Totally didn't think of it for this scenario since it's an "adult" drink, but then I happened upon it by accident. Still had a lot of sugar though, so I was super excited to find the No Sugar Added formula. Especially happy that it has sucrose and not aspartame since it's for a toddler.
Best part is, my son LOVES it and drinks it without a fuss. This, along with vegetable/fruit smoothies and whole grain cereal helps me feel like he's getting a good diet. He's at a healthy weight and I'm a happy mommy!
