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

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.

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! 😎👍

Outstanding addition to our morning rotation. The chocolate flavor is on point, mixes well with either water or milk, and leaves us filled all morning. Solid protein content without a bunch of artificial ingredients. Mixes well in a blender, but not great with just a spoon. The vanilla and chai are also good, but the chocolate is the best!

The pictures show it being used with water, but trust me, just use milk. It has a good flavor but with water it really clumps up more than it disolves and it just tastes like watery powder. The flavor really gets nuked. Once I used almond milk it started to taste very close to a starbucks/dunkin quality. Its like a solid 8/10 or maybe a 9/10. Its more of a “zip” matcha with a hint of the tea bite to it just a tad. It does also have the protein powder taste mixed in, but its really not bad. It is tough to hand mix, I definitely recommend a blender/bullet. Even in a protein shaker it does not get all the clumps and they settle if you don’t drink quickly. With a blender and some milk this is pretty solid. Not life changing but a good pick.

Great tasting meal replacement shake. Has everything you need. Protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, superfoods, anti oxidants, and probiotics. It is Vegan, Non GMO, Gluten free, & Soy free. It is free of preservatives, flavorings, sweeteners, and dyes. Pricey, but worth it I think.

The taste is good, I especially love the Chai. Protein also great & all the vitamins. My only 2 issues is the extremely high sodium & calories. I get some people dont mind the high calories esp if using ice & water. I like Almond or Oat milk. Also, some people who use this as their only meal wont care either. It just depends on u individually & your needs/wants. I on the other hand am an older person, over 50 whose trying to use it just once in the morning in hopes of controlling my hunger & at least making it till noon-1 before having a healthy lunch, so as in the long run- controlling my hunger, eating better & trying to loose weight. So, the start out calorie intake is quite a bit. I also have high blood pressure, & with the sodium level being extremely high, it's not the best for some1 really trying to watch how much they have. If 1 person has more than 1 of these a day, it's almost putting u over the top. -And thats not counting any other food sodium level intake. I get it- once again- each to their own, but even younger people consuming more than 1 packet a day will have issues later in their life. The taste is good & unless u put your liquid in a blender 1st, then the powder & blend it right away (add ice after 1st blend), u will end up with lumps. Otherwise, it blends good.

This strawberry Kachava is delicious if prepared the right way. You have to blend it with some plant milk. The advice to only add water or only use blender ball is trash. I blend it with fresh almond milk or organic soy milk then add frozen berries and frozen banana which creates a delicious plant milk shake It’s full a meal that will keep you full the whole day. Also to make bag last a little longer I only use 1 scoop of Kachava instead of 2 to make it last longer.

It's too sweet for me because my taste buds have gotten used to a low sugar diet. It's creamy but only if you use a blender. I use a Ninja mini blender that you blend right into the cup that you drink out of. I use it with Lactaid whole milk and it is a creamy shake. The chocolate one has a very rich taste and all of them taste very good. Unfortunately it's too sweet for me. That's the only issue I have with it. I did not experience any chalkiness because I mixed it well with the blender so there were no lumps. When I mix it by hand or with a small hand whisk it didn't blend very well
