PediaSure Powder VANILLA Review
Finally one he likes!
Regardless of Pediasure containing milk proteins (we also have dairy intolerance to make things even more difficult) there’s been no digestive distress to report and after trialling the first sample sachet after school on the day it finally arrived, I was ecstatic to hear him asking for more because it was “nutritious and delicious”.
For breakfast the next day there was a note on the kitchen bench with his ‘order’. How could I refuse?
Pediasure Vanilla Powder has been very well received and I am delighted! Hopefully my local Chemist Warehouse re-stocks soon, I took the last one on the shelf the other day.

PediaSure Powder VANILLA Review
Great option for fussy children
The drink was easy to prepare, with the powder coming in an easy-tear, easy-pour packet. I just mixed it with tap water, and the drink was ready in a minute. Both my 5-year-old and my 7-year-old enjoyed the flavour and would happily drink it again.
With all the added vitamins and minerals in Pediasure, this is an easy win for their nutrition, and I'll definitely be keeping this stocked in the house for those days where they eat less.

PediaSure Powder VANILLA Review
Game changer!
One of the biggest positives is how much my child genuinely enjoys the taste. We've tried other nutritional drinks in the past that were refused after one sip, but this one has become something they actually look forward to drinking. It mixes really well, has a smooth, creamy texture and doesn't leave any gritty residue.
I also love how convenient it is. Whether it's for breakfast on a busy morning, an afternoon snack or after a particularly picky day of eating, it's quick to prepare and takes away the worry that they're missing out on important nutrients.
Over time I've noticed my child seems to have more consistent energy throughout the day and is generally happier and more active. While every child is different, it's reassuring knowing they're receiving complete, balanced nutrition with protein, healthy fats and 28 essential vitamins and minerals to help support healthy growth, bone development and immunity.
Another feature I appreciate is that it contains ingredients to support digestive and immune health, including prebiotic fibre and a probiotic in the powder formulation, along with nutrients like vitamins A, C, D and zinc.
The quality of the product is obvious, and I feel confident giving it to my child because it's specifically designed for children aged 1–10 years who may need extra nutritional support. It's become a valuable addition to our daily routine without replacing healthy meals.
Overall, I highly recommend PediaSure to any parent looking for a reliable nutritional supplement. It's easy to prepare, tastes great, provides complete balanced nutrition, and most importantly, gives me confidence that my child is getting the nutritional support they need during those challenging picky eating stages.

A lifesaver for fussy days!
I told him it was a vanilla milkshake and he didn't need any convincing after that! It's super easy to prepare — just mix the powder with water — and it came out smooth with a nice consistency, no lumps or fuss. He drank the whole thing without hesitation.
I'll definitely be keeping a few sachets in the cupboard for those fussy days!

PediaSure Powder VANILLA Review
My fussy eater loved this!
I was actually surprised she liked the taste, as she’s usually very particular with anything new. It’s given me some reassurance knowing she’s getting a bit of extra support while we continue working on expanding the foods she’ll eat.
The only downside for me is that I wasn’t 100% sure about some of the ingredients, but overall it’s been really helpful and something that works for us.

It gives us peace of mind that they're getting extra nutrition, especially on days when they're not eating a balanced diet.
It's quick to prepare.
I'd highly recommend PediaSure to any parent struggling with a fussy eater who needs a little nutritional support.

Perfect for my 2 year old
She loves being able to mix it up, she enjoys the vanilla flavour and I love it because I know she’s getting all the vitamins and nutrients that she wasn’t getting from the milk.
I’m grateful I had the opportunity to try the sample, we will definitely keep buying it :)

So easy and filling!
We started using PediaSure as a quick breakfast option on those rushed mornings when we were heading out the door. I blended it with ice, a banana and a drizzle of honey (not that the extras are needed) but it’s what we normally do with our smoothies anyway, and both of my kids absolutely loved it. My 8-year-old happily drinks it at home, while my 2-year-old has his poured into a Subo bottle to sip in the car on the way, which has honestly made our mornings so much smoother.
One thing that really stood out to me was how filling it is. I noticed they weren't asking for snacks an hour later like they sometimes do with other grab-and-go breakfast drinks. Knowing they're getting protein, vitamins and other nutrients in something they genuinely enjoy drinking gives me peace of mind, especially on those busy days when a cooked breakfast just isn't realistic.
I also like that it's designed to support growing kids and isn't just another sugary breakfast drink. It's become one of those products I will keep in the pantry because it's convenient, the kids enjoy it, and it helps take some of the stress out of our morning routine!

A nutritional shake that my fussy eater enjoys
We were skeptical trying this as have tried other things in the past the help get more vitamins and minerals into her diet. Now with this, sometimes texture can be a deciding point also with what she eats but we were surprised and happy when she really enjoyed the vanilla flavoured sachet.
Was super easy to mix and didn’t really have any lumps left (we used one of those mini battery hand whisk)
Will we be buying it - yes!!
