Ka'Chava 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.

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.

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.

Expensive but it is good. I can't use whey-based protein, so this is a good option for plant-based protein. Plus it does not contain those sickenly sweet artificial sweeteners.

It's a good product and does fill me on in my busy work life. But the package broke as soon as I tried to open it and I had to put it into a container. And it got a lot on my counter in the process. And I don't like to waste anything, so I was really sad. If you're looking for a good meal replacement or after work out protein than this is really good.
