Ka’Chava Whole Body Meal Shake Chocolate 2 lb – Vegan Protein Powder with 85+ Superfoods & Greens – Plant-Based Meal Replacement with Probiotics & Digestive Enzymes – Gluten & Dairy Free (15 Servings)

Over the last few months I’ve tried a few different ‘meal replacement’ shakes. For fair comparison, I’ve used the same blender, added the same extras (see my little list below) and the same amount of ice and milk. Ka’Chava is BY FAR the tastiest and smoothest I’ve tried. Almost like a gourmet chocolate milkshake. That said, the whole purpose of these things (for me) is to do better with my nutrition and curb my appetite. Consider the add-ins below — I’m not a physician or dietician, and some of these can add a bunch of calories (so watch the amounts), but after doing a bunch of research as to what others are adding to their meal replacement smoothies, I’ve settled on these: Fresh (not frozen) organic Banana, organic unsweetened peanut butter powder, cinnamon powder, walnuts, organic beet root powder, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cacao powder, *wee* pinch of cayenne pepper powder, organic raw honey, frozen blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, 15 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and finally - about 20 oz of ice cubes (if you add more ice = thicker). I blend about 4 times for maximum creaminess … first with just the milk and Ka’Chava plus beet root powder. Then, as that first mix is settling in and absorbing I add everything else *except* the ice - now blend a second time. Now I add the ice cubes. I blend the third time on the Ice Crush setting, and finally a 4th blend on the Smoothie setting. I gotta tell you what I get (with any product I’ve tried) is a silky-smooth and creamy shake. The difference I’ve found is Ka’Chava is a good bit smoother, creamier, and tastier than the others. Hands down my favorite, and so I put it on an Amazon subscription. Finally, the price. Heck yes, it’s quite expensive, but there are two tricks to get around that: first, you don’t have to have it every day. Next, and this really works - instead of two ‘heaping’ scoops as recommended, just put one! Yes, you’re not getting the full nutrient density with every shake, but with the add-ins I mentioned plus any others you may decide upon, you ARE getting a decent shot of nutrition you might not otherwise get, and your appetite is curbed. And, psst … don’t tell anyone but the taste is still awesome with just one scoop! Oh, I do recommend looking up how to open the bag correctly. I didn’t and ruined the seal … so, I have to roll up the top, put a clip on it and store the bag in the fridge. Small price to pay. To your health! 😎👍

great Supplement Protein powder, we subscribed for monthly delivery to save few dollars, it did help in lowering craving food and did help improve energy all day and I was more active when using the product. Highly recommended if you are looking for high grade and high-quality protein powder Tases was great no after taste I used to mix with banana and skim milk, it was rich and delicious same as having a full meal. its thickness and fullness and mixability with any ingredients make this powder the best in its category

I've been using this product for years, first in 2019 from Amazon, then direct from Ka'Chava on subscription for a lower price. The new bag is what has me writing this review. Not only does it not close... It's tough to open to begin with. Apparently, no one tested this. The 2nd thing is the color of the powder is different, making me wonder why. What changed in the ingredients? As with others, I get pretty bad gas when using 2 scoops. I've cut it down to one, and I don't have that problem anymore. It's pea protein, which is known for this. So anyone complaining about it, should have read the ingredients and done research first. It's a known fact that pea protein can cause gas. I was using 2 scoops with almond milk, blueberries, and a banana in a blender. It blended nicely and was a nice thick shake. The taste is good for me. Others may not agree. Now I use just one scoop in my Oatmeal, with blueberries and almond milk. Eating it for breakfast has been great. It gives me good protein to start the day. I took off one star due to the bag closure and the color of the powder. I added pictures that show the color difference between the 2 bags. It bothers me that I don't know what changed to create a different color. Did they skimp, use lower quantity ingredients? 🤷

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.

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.

I am in the middle of.the road with this product. I tried it with water it took forever to stir and was still clumpy. Milk was better. Milk was also better with the stirring, but as you can see I the video didn't stir 💯 all the way. Middle of the road bc I used it once for the water after the bad experience waited a few months to try Milk. I did like it with the only 1 work out.( 3/14). I did 35 squats and walked an extra lap. Rather than my norm of 20 squats and 4 laps. I felt decently tired/the burn as well. Working out more is great but sometimes water doesn't go as far as I would like and also water is boring. I don't know if this will be a regular product yet.i don't know if this will act as a "meal replacement " which is what I had wanted to do with it at the time. Bc every time you eat we are putting money in our mouth. I wanted to reduce food cost a little bit. The problem is price and wanting to try other flavors. Most of the flavors cost about 80 bucks. That's scary for something that I may or may not like. If I don't order regularly the 35 will just be a waste of money. So, will update with comments as I go through the last 3 bags. Might keep for workouts only. Wednesday 5/13: I waited 30 minutes after I drank. Still can taste a bit of the powder. I did manage knees to chest 50 instead of 30. The hip stretches where you lay on the side and move the leg up and down I was constantly doing 30. This helped me do 50. I also rested longer than normal. So, def improvement. Have 2 more bags to go bf I decide on what to do. Didn't do 5 walking laps only did 1.

I have I've gotten the chocolate and Chai flavors and both are amazing. Sometimes I mix the Chocolate with Almond butter or Sunflower Butter for a chocolate "peanut butter " treat. Hands down the best, smoothest plant based protein powder I have had. I crave it! It does make me a little gassy at times but its probably my system adjusting to the fiber. I feel full after finishing a shake which is what I was looking for while getting in a nice dose of protein. Can't beat it for under $6 per shake.

Absolutely like this product. Been looking and trying different protein drinks. This is the winner. At 76 years of age been wanting something that actually works and gave me an even level of energy. WINNER! I know this may seem like one of those commercials you would see on TV but here goes. I've been taking KaChava now for 2 months. I noticed a big change in myself. My arthritic knees are almost painless. A 90% improvement. Additionally I suffer from an autoimmune condition that is very painful. My symptoms have been diminishing. An 80% improvement. My wife has seen the difference in me also. I am more active physically. Ka'Chava is the only thing I have changed in regular diet.
