Question:
Anywhere I can purchase no sugar added carnation instant breakfast???

My surgeon recommends 6 packs per day for 2 weeks preop and for several weeks post op. Does anyone know where I can purchase bulk quantities of chocolate/vanilla ????    — Dana D. (posted on May 6, 2002)

It is hard to find. However, I was able to find it at the local Shop Rite. If you have on in your area, check it out.

I found it at both Wal-mart and K-mart. I tried it in the beginning and it made me queasy. I dump on sugar-free products though. And you don't get much protein in those. My doctor recommends them also.

Even this is what your doc suggests... there are MUCH better products out there. Our docs are experts at cutting, not nutrition. Find a good protein shake that is zero carb and sugar free such as Zero Carb Isopure... much better for you, 50 grams of protein per serving, plus 50% of all your minimum vitamins and minerals...tastes great too.

I get mine at any good supermarket (like Safeway or Giant). I've never seen it offered in bulk, though. CIB doesn't have a lot of protein, but it gives you 45% of vitamin C, 25% of calcium, iron and vitamin E, 35% of vitamin A, so I think that is why a lot of doctors recommend it. I've noticed my protein drink doesn't offer large amounts of those. I don't drink it everyday, only when I have a taste for chocolate (about once a week), but then I usually mix it with Designer's vanilla. When I want a special treat, I drop in 1/2 a banana.

I live on this stuff. I only do 1 a day though. I found it at H.G. Hills, Food Lion, and you can order it direct off the net at www.nestlefoods.com (I think that's the addy). If that's wrong just do a search for Carnation Instant Breakfast. I've put a bit of SF pudding powder in mine to make it thicker, I'd added SF Oreo type cookies, vanilla yoghurt (that wasn't the best :p), peanut butter. There's tons of ways to make it taste better. My 3 yr old son loves CIB. It usually costs about 4-5 dollars for a box of 8 packets. Pricey, and as they said not the best but it is tolerable for me :)

Kroger carries a kroger brand of this and it has 2 more grams of protein than the carnation kind. It is cheaper too.

The Carnation website (www.carnation.com) also offers a search option to find stores in your area that carry CIB. You can also ask your grocery store manager to order it or carry it for you. :) - Anna

Dana, I buy mine from Food Lion and since you are in NC and Food Lion is a NC based chain, you should not have any problem getting it.

I found mine at the Giant Eagle. I'm from Ohio. You will like the CIB. It tastes like chocolate milk. To get more protein I add(with the approval of my dietician) a tablespoon of no sugar added lite peanut butter. Two of my favorites peanut butter and chocolate.
