Huel VS Ka'Chava | Which One Is Better? | Which One Is Healthier?

[@moladhdodhia164]

Much appreciated, great review, never heard of Huel before,so far I'm impressed with Kachava, I have Hashimottos thyroid disease and have death fatigue,it has helped so much with my energy levels and lost 10 pounds in a week so far.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Awesome...glad to hear something like Ka'chava could help so much!

[@senluz9840]

I don't think you're supposed to lose more than 5 pounds a week iirc

@@moladhdodhia164 my man, this autoimmune disease is reversible. Keep going and definitely have a healthy diet. Try using high amounts of vitamin D3 with K2, at least 10k IU's for D3 with 100mcg K2 (Mk7), selenium (specifically brazil nuts), and Zinc with copper together! That helped me a lot. No more!

I don't know why you didn't compare the huel drink to the ka'chava drink? That black bag of huel is there "newer" line of actual food product. They've had the drink mixes for years before the newer food they sell now. You should have done a meal replacement drink against a meal replacement drink.....

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Jerome...I'm going to do that soon!

[@jmomoney1]

@@FitnessFinance4u OK. Can't wait to see it

[@JGW5000]

Huel also makes shakes, so that might have been a better comparison than a kachava shake to a Huel Hot and Savory meal. Anyway, love the videos. Keep up the good work.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks Greg. I'll have to give the shakes a try.

I agree, with the gassy part with KàChava... yet, this product, is superb for my eating habits. I just mix it with me jugs of coffee in the morning " to my taste ", which is almost the serving size... It is my " go to food " Flavor is the 2nd selling point, under all the ingrediants. I have introduced this to folks and they stay with it. 🥰

[@alunmorgan2352]

Fat is not an issue. I avoid low fat options. What I don't like about huel (as a man) is the high flax content. Apart from flax having estrogenic effects huel is higher in polyunsaturated fat where as I prefer more monounsaturated fats

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Alun...appreciate the insight!

[@marklowe4485]

I struggle with the mental part of eating/drinking something sweet like Ka’Chava or a smoothie as a meal. Savory just feels right.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes...and it does fill you up!

[@historygal7]

I'm not a sweet in the morning person at ALL and I crave this stuff first thing when I wake up. It really is delicious.

[@almaguerra9371]

Both really than if it’s both why 😂did you make a video to compare them???

[@garethbaus5471]

Ka chava has excess amounts of some nutrients and inadequate amounts of a couple of nutrients so it isn't really meant to be a fully nutritionally complete meal replacement and is more like a supplement. Ka chava is also much more expensive than huel which provides adaquate amounts of all nutrients at an affordable price. I wouldn't really consider them to be direct competitors despite having a similar form factor for those 2 reasons.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Good point and I actually did a Ka'Chava VS Huel meal replacement drink comparison which made more sense. See link here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2inYZenfNuUrtU

[@brandonl8522]

Hello, I loved your video for kachava and huel meal replacement shakes! Which one of the two would you recommend for weight gain and a meal replacement but won’t make you feel bloated after drinking one of the shakes??? I’m in the market to buy a bag I’m just confused and which one to buy. Would any of these two be good to drink through the day or do you have to drink it all right away after you make it? What is the wait time that you have after you make a shake to drink it, like is it bad in 20-30 minutes to drink or can you take a few sips and come back to it? Your video has been a really good feedback review of each products than what everyone talks about. Loved that you did the pros and cons!! Much helpful in this video ❤

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Brandon L, glad I could help! This video actually compares the "dry meal" instant meals from Huel to the Ka'Chava meal replacement drink. I did a more recent video where I compared the Huel vs Ka'Chava meal replacement drinks against each other. See below link. Having said that, I liked Ka'Chava slightly better as it didn't make me feel as "bloated". I wouldn't use either for "weight gain" as they don't have enough calories, and I'm not a certified nutritionist, so I can't tell you the best way to do that. I just used them for meal replacements when I was short on time. I would drink them within 10 minutes of making them as I liked them cold. I imagine they would last longer, but never tried that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2inYZenfNuUrtU

[@timgibbons9423]

Also ag1 is a great go-to product as well

Very informative..Thank you

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AdamCulp]

This is a mismatched comparison. You're comparing Huel "Hot and Savory" versus Huel "Black" to Ka'Chava. Huel Black is the meal replacement, while Hot and Savory is more real food'ish and is not a simple shake.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Adam Culp...Huel's website says this about Hot & Savory. "We have created a nutritionally complete and tasty instant meal so you don’t have to worry about lunch anymore." Scroll down to about the middle of the site. huel.com/products/huel-hot-savoury

[@AdamCulp]

@@FitnessFinance4u I get it. But comparing a shake to a heated meal seems odd. The Huel Black is also a shake, and therefore a more even comparison. Still good content, so, thank you.

[@lbdlf5164]

Love the review my big question is how did it make you feel did you feel healthier? did you feel energized Did you notice any health benefits how was your body’s performance using both products thank you so much

[@FitnessFinance4u]

LB DLF, neither product made me feel healthier, but they did make me feel better about getting a "meal replacement" that was much better for me than any kind of "fast food". So both were good to use in a pinch!

[@HD.Keem96]

I used to use Huel shake for maybe 2 to 3 months and I didn't like the chalky texture of Huel might try ka'Chava next

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Hakeem, I think you'll like Ka'Chava, but it isn't as filling as Huel. So if you are looking for a meal replacement, you might need to add some things to it.

[@taylorsmotovlogs3735]

Curious did you let your girl sit over night ? Thinking about trying it and see a lot of people say that what makes the biggest difference

[@reddevil211287]

Serious question, how do we even know these shakes even contain those vitamins and minerals?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

r2112 good question. Ka'Chava is made in an NSF (National Science Foundation) approved manufacturing facility, which means it's 3rd party verified. I had a chat with a team member there who says it is NSF certified...which means all the ingredients on the packaging are in the powder. But, they don't put that certification on the bag, which is strange. It doesn't look like Huel is NSF certified. Check out my NSF video about it as it's still a bit hazy...kzbin.info5aeEk4u5Tws?feature=share

[@marleneharveymscelegance]

Love your video, how does either product work for diabetics??

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks Marlene. I don't know the answer to that question. Definitely consult your Dr. before using it!

[@teadams72]

I just want to know does it make you feel better ? General question To all

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Tim, no it does not make me feel better. Real food makes me feel good. But, both Huel and Ka'Chava are a decent substitute if you don't have the time to make an organic food meal, and much better for you than "fast food".

[@alucard2010]

Why are you comparing huel hot meals instead of the huel drinks. Not a fair comparison

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Doing a video on that now!

[@timgibbons9423]

Also that would make a big difference in the price per scoop per meal

[@scottjackson163]

Based on my experience with Isagenix (which is another excellent product), I would say that it is not realistic to expect to feel full on any liquid diet. (Compared to fasting, drinking a protein shake is easy.) As for increasing the cost per meal by adding fruit or cereal, if you are buying those foods anyway (I do), you are not really increasing the cost per meal. In fact, by adding blueberries (or whatever) to your shake mix you are increasing the likelihood that you will consume the standalone additives before they go stale. Ka’Chava (non-subscription) for me.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Scott, what you say makes sense, but when I do cost comparisons, I like to get an actual price based on the product itself.

[@Saved0316]

Great review but which flavor of Ka'Chava did you use? I'd like to try Ka' Chava but not sure which flavor, I like both chocolate and vanilla but I am afraid to try the vanilla. I have never found a good tasting vanilla powder since I normally just use H20 with the powders as a quick meal.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

N O, I ended up liking the chocolate and vanilla equally. It was good to mix it up so I didn't get tired of one flavor. I also tried the coconut acai, but it took me a while to get used to that one. Now it seems they have Matcha and Chai, both of which I have not tried.

[@devonpeters9458]

Hi! It’s expensive, but have you ever tried Ample? I’m curious your thoughts on that if so

[@almaguerra9371]

Yeah but are those ingredients so important? Kachava doesn’t have. This video didn’t help at all. I could do this on my own and decide for myself!

[@natf6747]

First time diving into this world. I would say Huel doesn't taste good. Think about eat flavorless watery oat meal.... that's Huel. The reason you feel full from Huel is you have to slow down to eat it because you don't want to eat it. I got a subscription and will cancel it after I try the other two flavors I got.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Nat F...I did end up using less water and putting more and more chalula and hot sauce on it which helped.

I use no fat milk in the chocolate flavor and juice in other flavors, I add a banana and peanut butter or banana and powdered coffee to the chocolate.
