All-In-One Nutrition Shake Blend, Chocolate, 85+ Superfoods, Nutrients & Plant-Based Ingredients, 26g Vitamins and Minerals, 25g Plant-Based Protein, 2lb

Don’t let reviews that say this shake tastes bad deter you— I’m convinced those users do not understand what this product is and are expecting a nutrition supplement to taste like a milkshake, which it just doesn’t, and it also shouldn’t. Vega used to be my brand of choice bc it was always the least artificial and sweet tasting to me (I find a lot of protein/nutrition shakes taste overly sweet and of fake sugar, especially plant-based ones, which I personally find very off putting). I finally decided to bite the bullet and try Ka’Chava after resisting forever, mainly because of the price… and I’ll never drink anything else. Not only is it superior in taste, but in terms of nutrition and whole body health, there is nothing else on the market that competes. Compare Ka’Chava’s ingredients to any competitor and you’ll immediately see that you get what you pay for. All whole food ingredients, nothing processed, no additives. As a recovering vegetarian (7 years vegetarian, easing back into an omnivore over the last year), the main reason I started drinking shakes was to ensure I was getting enough nutrients and protein. This is the only shake I have ever had that actually makes me full and keeps me sustained throughout the day— I definitely attribute that to the ingredients and formula. Many people don’t realize that in order for your body to absorb nutrients and vitamins properly, they need the support of the other naturally occurring vitamins, nutrients, and calories that accompany them in nature. For example, your body absorbs vitamin A more efficiently and completely if you eat a carrot as opposed to taking a vitamin A supplement with a glass of water. Because Ka’Chava derives its high nutrition content from all whole foods, your body is actually able to utilize all the nutrition you’re consuming in this shake, and that alone is why in my opinion, the price is reasonable and worth it. I started this review by saying this doesn’t taste like a milkshake, and honestly, imo it’s better. It tastes “whole” and unprocessed, and it’s delicious. I understand everyone’s palette is different but honestly, drinking a milkshake in the morning, as many reviews have suggested that they’re after, is just an unappealing thought to me. If you’re looking for something that will nourish and sustain you that also tastes good (but like what it should), then Ka’Chava is it, hands down.

This protein powder was very good though expensive. No gritty texture and the chocolate flavor was unique and very, very enjoyable even if it didn’t pop like the flavor of a good chocolate mousse. This shake also seemed to have the best staying power - curbing appetite for a good 3 hours… but then again it had double the calories (meal replacement) compared to the competitors tested. Clear winner of the 5 protein powders I tried (Kachava > Shakeology >> Flip >>> Truvani >>>>>>> Sun Warrior.) I worry a bit about total heavy metals consumed (chromium) if eating more than one or two per day. Other nutritional content seemed far superior, as described on the package label.

DISCLAIMER - I wrote short novel here but it’s warranted I ordered my first Ka’Chava bag through Amazon, and delivery was smooth—actually arrived earlier than expected. As someone with IBD, I was especially relieved to find no GI issues—huge win right out of the gate. I’ve tried it both with milk and ice-cold water (1:1 ratio), and both were great. I haven’t added any extras yet, though I may experiment later. The taste and texture are enjoyable as-is. Yes, it’s on the pricey side—but if you’re a regular at fast food places or coffee shops, it actually balances out or even saves money. I used to spend $15 per fast food stop, five days a week—that’s $300/month. Two bags of Ka’Chava cost me about $160 and last just as long. For me, that’s a bargain. I’m a home health wound nurse and on the road from 10 AM to 7 PM. I’d become a gas station food regular—convenient but terrible for my gut, weight, energy, and mood. Not great when you’re trying to provide care to fragile patients. Ka’Chava has helped turn that around. I started with half a serving because I usually skip breakfast (easy nausea). No nausea! The half shake did leave me a bit hungry by lunch, so I tried a full serving the next day—sipped it slowly and stayed full until 6 PM. Fantastic. Bonus tip: If you’re looking for a great shaker cup, I highly recommend the Helimix—no clumps, no shaker ball, and super easy to clean. I love my Ninja, but this cup does the job with minimal fuss. You can find them on Amazon. I also take fewer supplements now, and even my usual prescription med nausea has disappeared. The nutrient density in this shake is doing something right. Bottom line? Ka’Chava is worth it. Nutritionally, financially, and functionally—it’s been a real lifesaver for me, and I’ll be sticking with it.

I was skeptical about this product because of posts regarding taste. I picked the chocolate and I was ecstatic about how delicious it was I used a personal blender cup so I could drink in my car. It mixed up great and was very smooth using cold water. I love all of the nutrition it has and I need this better nutrition. My stomach was content and I was satiated for hours! I felt really good and didn’t feel like I needed food. This will help me avoid drive throughs when I am on the road. I don’t complain about the cost because at $70 for 15 meals, this is a savings compared to what I have been paying for unhealthy choices for some meals.

To start I am not a vegan. I was looking for a meal supplement, something like a shake for when I am busy, to replace breakfast. At 1 point I did protein shakes, but due to an injury I dont work out as much anymore. So I was looking for something simpler to use. Huel had too many options for me to want to figure out. Ka'Chava seemed simpler, pick a flavor. Looked good, sounded good, so I gave it a try. After some time and testing this is my personal opinion of what I found. I will also state I normally eat twice a day, first at 10-11am and then at 5pm. I am usually good all day with that schedule. This is not a Shake, Smoothie or Slushie. It is a drink. If you follow the directions it is a drink, not thick, nothing like what they show you. If you see a video of someone discussing how to make in a blender or shaker, they dont show you the end product, but if you look at the film on the blender, you can tell it is a drink and not a shake. Adding any amount of ice, with any amount of blending does not change that, you end up with a ton of ice particles floating on top of the drink. Because this is Vegan and non dairy, you mix a powder with water. It will always be a drink. The amount of water used has an effect. 12-12.5 oz gives you a good taste but chalky and gritty. 13-14 oz is watery and chalky. Now there are supposed to be 15 meals in a bag. But that serving is only 240 calories. As a full body meal or meal supplement or however you want to put it, nutrition wise that is starving as a meal. Talk to a Nutritionist, 400-500 calories should be a meal. More is over eating, less is starving the body. That is based on a 2000 calorie a day diet. Drinking like this, I found I was hungry within 2 hours. I did not feel energy or things like they said. The way I feel did not change. The only thing that changed it I drank this at 10am, I had to eat something by 12. So like this, it was not doing the trick. So later I started making with milk, 12 ozs, about 225 calories. Well it turned into a shake them and looked more like the pictures. I would also not start to get hungry for 4-5 hours. This equaled out to 465 calories a shake. Still a little chalky and gritty. It also could not be considered Vegan or Non-Dairy. Cost wise it did not seem that great either. A bag is roughly $70. As directed (and not effective) that equals out to $4.67 a meal. The milk I use is $4 a half Gallon, which equals 4 servings. So that equals out to $5.67 a meal. The protein shakes I made were cheaper (thats with milk, protein powder, peanut butter & nonfat plain Greek yogurt). So in the end I do not think this is worth the money
