So easy to get

gallupjudy August 13, 2016

Never know if they are going to have my favorite breakfast drink at my local wal-mart. So now I can order in bulk and have it delivered at no extra price. This is the best protein base when you add 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup greek vanilla yogurt then throw in some kale and frozen berries....blend...and you're off.

Drink it almost every day

Daisy July 3, 2016

My husband and I drink Instant Breakfast (old name for Breakfast Essentials) almost every morning. We love chocolate milk and this feels healthier because it has no added sugar, but does have added vitamins. I like to have mine partially frozen so it is kind of slushy - like a semi-frozen fudgsicle!

Delish and healthy

Jerianne March 6, 2017

I got this for my daughter, who doesn't eat breakfast but I thought she should have something. She LOVES the taste, is quick and easy to prepare. It dissolves quickly and easily into the milk, no chunks, no stirring for a long amount. It really is delicious, tastes just like chocolate milk. It also is giving her the vitamins and minerals, which is what I want. We will deftly continue using this and buying this! Very happy!

Less sugar, still tastes good

Anonymous July 6, 2026

This tastes good and is super easy to mix up in the morning. I use about 10 ounces of milk instead of 8 for a milder chocolate flavor.

I really enjoy the Carnation "light start".. Local Walmart has been out of the "light start" version for sometime. I was so pleased to get it by mail.

Light Start to jump start my day.

Sherryj February 6, 2017

I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk with the Carnation Light Start every morning. Low in carbs & sugar but high in vitamins & nutrients. Fits with my Diabetic diet quite nicely.

Great Product carried only by Walmart

Bee October 5, 2020

This item is awesome. I had Bariatric surgery and it is a great source for protein and low in calories. I hope Walmart never discontinues this product because everyone else has taken off shelves and added the probiotic instead. They don't have another lower calorie option so this is the only choice and it taste great!!

wish it came in the bigger canister

MrsMacBee July 20, 2015

This is the best of the sugar free drink mixes I have found, does not have the "after taste" of some others. Lower calories, fairly low carbs. I mix it with a little more milk than it calls for even a little water otherwise it is too sweet. It is more like chocolate milk, some pre-mixed versions of this or other brands are too thick almost slimy and too sweet. Wish it came in the larger canister. My 96 year old Aunt likes it for a nutritious between meal snack but she won't drink some of the pre-mixed other nutritional shakes.
