Like the chocolate MISS THE LIGHT START VANILLA
From: | Oct 06, 2024
I like the chocolate light start alright, I use it by itself, in smoothies, etc., and it mixes up pretty well. I really miss the light start vanilla powder and wish you would bring it back!!! I also would like to see light start protein options.
Is there a sugar free powder?
From: Pam D | Sep 07, 2024
I LOVE the powder form of your drinks. After having weight loss surgery, I have to closely watch my sugar intake. Do you have a zero sugar or a very low sugar option?
From: Staff Member | Dec 09, 2024

I have enjoyed your instant breakfast for probably 40+years,but lately it doesn't blend smoothly with milk. Not as enjoyable. And I always buy the 22 serving box of chocolate packets.

Carnation Instant Breakfast Light Start chocolate
From: Rob_64550fd8d4ea3 | May 05, 2023
I have been drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast since it came out in the '60's! I am glad I can still order it over the phone because I can't find the powder in the packets in the store anymore.
Strawberry powder
From: Deborah Tyler | May 03, 2023
Why isnt there more options for strawberry powdered breakfast drink? Its the only flavor I like and the ready made bottles are too expensive and taste like chalk. Even on this site I can't get straberry. Amazon has a ton of complaints packs were opened.

From: nay nay | Mar 23, 2023

Ready to Drink
From: Pmccormack | Mar 11, 2023
Did not like the Ready to Drink the powder is the best or that's what I like I order me some powder and it's good thank you.
the drink itself is awesome,
From: 4 PapPap | Mar 09, 2023
the drink it self is awesome five star, however the price from the company is high, i can actually buy the product cheaper from super market than from the company that makes it, that to me is not right ! if i’m buying as much as i do the price should be cheaper from you than anyone else, my dad eats and drinks nothing else! the carnation breakfast drink is the only thing he can drink,
