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

Today is the first day trying Ka’chava. I purchased the vanilla. I skip lunch a lot. I have dangerously low iron (anemia.) Not a good combo for chasing a toddler around all day. I was looking for something to help bridge my nutritional gap for days when I don’t eat until 6pm, one meal a day. Why am I so tired all the time? Well…. I made a half serving in my little portable blendjet thingy. That’s all that fit. It’s a big ol scoop. 2 scoops is a serving. I was too tired to get the big blender out and make a full serving. I mixed it with full fat coconut milk and a little water so the weak a$$ blender could mix the shake. On first sip it was very forward tasting vanilla. Like drinking vanilla cake batter. Not artificial tasting not overly sweet. Just good. I’m not a big sweets person. So if you love super sweet things this may not be your flavor profile. The texture was smooth I didn’t notice any chalky texture. The little blender left some dry pockets of powder but by the time I got to those I didn’t care, I sucked the first one down FAST. I was practically licking the glass out to get every expensive drop. I immediately made a second half serving and sucked that down. I’m sitting here afterwards feeling completely satisfied. Before I drank them I was starving! Like weak and shaky starving. (Why do I do that to myself ugh) my 3 year old had a couple ounces with me even he loved it. Being that it’s whole food vitamins it should be fine for him in small quantities? Right? Well this little kid eats like a picky toddler, sometimes he diet reflects in naughty toddler behaviors. After he drank 2-3 ozs he sat down and calmly put a puzzle together which by this time of day he would be throwing pieces around the house crashing his toy trucks into the walls. How am I feeling? Focused full happy. My body felt immediately tingling like it does when I drink green juices. I feel elevated. Is it expensive? Yes. But now I understand why. Also some of these bad reviews on here could it be that they ordered on Amazon from a reseller? Because they are on here, marking it up, reselling from who knows where and how it was stored. Just a thought, because I don’t know how anyone can give this anything less than 5 stars! Also I’ll try to remember to update my review and see if it helps with my nutritional deficiencies Editing to add to 1/18/24 My 20 year old daughter tried it. She said it tasted and smelled like paper. She did not like it by itself, I dumped her glass in the blender, added strawberries and a banana. She drank it all and asked for a second glass. This girl is sadly despite a healthy upbringing is a victim of the Standard American Diet. I ordered her a bag now too. She said she wants to get back to the gym now, she’s feeling healthier after a couple days substituting lunch with a shake. She also said she’s sleeping better now too. Good stuff!

I know this product is pretty high in sugar but I can say I really like the taste and have had it in my morning matcha smoothie for almost a year and I can tell the difference in my energy, no mid day crash and it’s great for hair and nails.

This is delicious and nutritious. I am dealing with an esophageal problem where I can’t eat solid food. This has been a lifesaver. I blend it with ice and almond milk. I’ve tried several flavors at this point and I’ve enjoyed them all.

Gave 4 stars because there is no taste of vanilla anywhere. Taste EXACTLY like oatmeal. I like oatmeal so I don't mind...I guess. Super surprised that I didnt see any reviews mentioning this. I mean the taste is unmistakable, straight forward OATMEAL. Anyways, it sat well in my stomach (no stomach ache after) I drink it around 7:30am, usually don't start feeling hungry until about 1:30-2:00. Very thick consistency. Be sure to have water near by because it instantly makes you very thirsty. But this has lots of great health benefits!! If vanilla taste like oatmeal, im too shook to try chocolate or strawberry.

I have tried all of them. I mean, ALL of them. I have wasted time and money. I was hesitant to go for the most expensive one ever made, because duh, the economy. But….This is the best tasting vanilla, non gritty all in one, clean ingredient, gluten free shake you can get. It mixes very well in cold milk and almond milk with a frothing wand. No grit, no chalkiness. It is like a thin vanilla milkshake, and I prefer it.

I thought it was pricey compared to other powders. Then I looked at the ingredients list and saw that it really was made out of whole foods ingredients. This is not just a protein powder, it’s an entire meal replacement, which is exactly what I was looking for Based on some of the reviews that I read, I thought I was going to gag when I tried drinking it. I mixed two scoops with half of a banana and 12 ounces of unsweetened almond milk in my small nutri-bullet. It was fine. It was actually pretty good. I got the vanilla flavor because I thought it would be more versatile. I look forward to adding ice, instant coffee, cacao powder, peanut butter powder and different fruits for variety. I’m very satisfied with this product and I plan on buying more of it before I run out. If something changes, I will be back to update my review.

Listing was for multiple satins for each serving size and I received a multi serving bag. When I pulled the pool tab for the resealable bag, it immediately broke off at the start and so I was unable to open the bag properly so I use scissors and the zipper mechanism that they make on these bags is not a traditional type where the zipper is attached to the front in order for me to access the powder. So the bag is not resealable, which is inconvenient, but then add to that the protein was incredibly unpalatable. Does not mix well in smoothies, very grainy and tastes awful. I purchased this premium clean protein for my daughter going through very debilitating health issues and needs to increase her nutritional intake and she loves smoothies. She had to plug her nose to drink as much as possible which is not ideal for someone with low BMI who really needs to consume calories and protein for healing.

Update: After looking at things more closely and what they are calling a "serving", I realize the price is even worse than I thought at first. I'll leave the rest of my review because I stand behind it tasting great and mixing well but I think this price is just borderline absurd and I'm dropping some stars for it. What they're calling a serving is nearly half the calories of most products in this category I've tried. You'd need two "servings" for a typical lunch I'd say. Which makes this 10+ dollars for what I'd consider a real serving. Assuming you're using this as a meal replacement, that doesn't feel like a good value to me at all. I've been occasionally using meal replacement shakes/drinks for years. Mostly Soylent, but I've tried almost all of the well known ones. In my opinion, this is the best tasting one. It mixes easily, results in a very smooth shake and the flavor is excellent. There is a small catch to that though. One thing I do like about soylent (now my second favorite, or tied for first with this) is how neutral it is. That makes it easier to "not get tired of it". Either from being fairly neutral, or being easy to add things to tweak its flavor. You probably won't be doing that to these. I don't consider this a bad thing, but maybe important to know for anyone else coming from soylent. The price is a bit steep in my opinion. Depending on how you look at it, at least. You won't get a "real meal" any cheaper I don't think, but it costs more than any other meal replacement type drink I've had. Maybe that's fair because its also the best tasting. I don't think this will be my first go to through because of the price. I'll just throw it in to my rotation here and there.
