A good breakfast is important for everyone…it’s how we jumpstart our day. It’s especially important for kids and teens but up to 90% of those ages 4-18 years fall short of meeting dietary needs for one or more key nutrients*. And about 1 in 4 teens skip breakfast, which is associated with a variety of nutritional and health consequences.

A single packet of Carnation Breakfast Essentials®  mixed with 1 cup of skim milk provides 13 grams of protein to help build and maintain muscle and 25% or more of the daily value for 21 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin D to help build strong bones.

I depend on Carnation Breakfast Essentials® as an easy way to ensure my crew gets great nutrition plus the taste they love…even on a hectic morning!

Seriously, it takes about 15 seconds to stir up a nutritious breakfast that can be enjoyed at home OR taken on-the-go. That’s why I try to keep a couple of boxes on hand at all times. My boys will often request their favorite flavors to go with their waffles, pancakes, eggs and such…basically a quick and easy add on to their usual breakfast. BUT there are the occasional days when things don’t go as planned and I NEED Carnation Breakfast Essentials® in order to get the boys out the door to make it to their schools in time. I learned a long time ago that to maintain my balancing act, I have to have a backup plan in case of unexpected chaos. Being prepared is the key to my sanity!

On days when we are in a rush, I simply mix with milk for a delicious drink that we can enjoy even as we are running out the door. When things aren’t so crazy, I’ll often use whip up Carnation Breakfast Essentials® to whip up smoothies, muffins or add to yogurt and top with fruit, granola and more! It’s super versatile and with so many different flavors, my guys can pick and choose based on their mood.
