  • 21 Vitamins & Minerals: Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients you need each and every day to help keep the systems in your body working properly.

Can Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Nutritional Drink Mix products be mixed with any kind of dairy or non-dairy beverage?
Our Powder Drink Mixes were designed to be mixed with 1 cup of skim milk for a nutritional drink that provides 20% or more of the daily value for protein plus 21 vitamins and minerals. The powder can be mixed with other dairy beverages (such as 1%, 2% or whole milk), if preferred. The nutritional content of non-dairy plant-based beverages is variable, and if used, may not contain the amount of protein, vitamins and minerals found in dairy beverages.

Are Carnation Breakfast Essentials® products suitable for people with lactose intolerance?
Our Ready to Drink products are suitable for lactose intolerance but not for individuals with galactosemia. Our Powder products contain nonfat milk (which is a natural source of lactose), and therefore are not suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
