<<Many grocery store chains have their own store brand of instant
breakfast
that is nearly that same formula and calorie composition without
patronizing Carnation/Nestle.>>

I would like to add that good ole Ovaltine is a decent alternative to
Carnation Instant Breakfast. Each "flavor" contains different levels of
vits/mins. so you have to read the label. It also mixes better and tastes
better, imo.
