Right up front, no AI here. I've used Ka'Chava for the past year. Its great by itself or blending fruits, veggies, honey etc with it. I don't get hungry, and if I do then its helped to make healthier snacking choices so its also helped to create better habits. I look and feel better, my ski is clearer and my energy is good throughout the day. One of the reasons I decided to buy it was I needed more energy on the last 4 holes or so of my golf game. It has also helped with the same after workouts. When it helped me do that I signed up for a subscription & haven't looked back. U can't put a price on your health. Regarding your review, its not really a review until U buy it and try it. Its an excellent product & I recommended it.

[@amatt4776]

I think I'll try kachava, but more so as a supplement, not a 'meal replacement.' appreciate the review!!

[@beth-rg8bm]

It's wonderful!

[@gracetailor8811]

I was considering trying this and wanted to see what people were saying. Your thoughts really helped me decide to skip this product. I really just need the protein anyway so I'll buy that and make my own shakes. Thanks!

[@jmvillegasjr59]

I agree with you. I was ready to buy this, but s I’ve learned with many, many of these products, it’s never what it says it is. And, usually, I don’t mind a product being expensive, as it is, but it has to do what it says it’s going to do. But, I didn’t know that you will need “TWO” bags a month.

I have been using Ka'Chava for a few months and also eating the keto food bars. I must say I have really enjoyed how convenient it is. Before, I wasn't really eating breakfast or if I was it was a lot of carbs or doughnuts. Ka'Chava has helped me lose weight. I do like the taste of the shakes and food bars. I drink the shake in the morning and it only take a few minutes to prepare and wash the blender. Sometimes I am able to skip lunch and eat dinner. However, whatever I do it's allowed me to cut way down on my carb intake and enabled me to lose around 20 pounds in 2 months. I have used it for weight loss, another person could use it to gain muscle. Anyway, I wanted to throw in my 2 cents and say that I really like the product.

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

@jvjames Thank you for your comment! You have to find what works for you and it looks like you have which is awesome. My goal with the reviews is to give a critical review of the product so that people have some food for thought - the marketing of a product will sell you on all the wonderful things about it. I think you need the good and bad to make a decision. At the end of the day, I'm also just throwing in my 2 cents on each product!! :D

[@shootinggod1694]

Any product that alters my poor choices while traveling is quite frankly a winner. Anything but fast food and junk food is a product that will help me. Lots of people hated Shakeology by Beach Body but I lost 41 lbs just by not eating the aforementioned. I'm 59 and very set in my ways. My doctor bills are steep and so are my meds so I don't feel like it's throwing money away. Good, honest review.

[@MyLifeInTheDesert]

Hi there. I love this protein shake. I add kale, spinach, berries, and various liquids. It’s a great way for me to get extra vegetables and the protein as I am vegan. This is not causation but I will say that since starting this and adding vegetables my cholesterol is now normal and my A1C is normal. The coconut açaí is really good if you want to add berries. It’s amazing. I do still take my multivitamin and vitamin D, omega etc. if you have the money go for it. If you don’t, get pea protein from another cheaper brand and add vegetables and fruit! ❤

@Michael-ej3th that's awesome! I'm glad you found something that could compliment your routine! Thank you for your comment!

[@enlightenedhummingbird4764]

Make sure you're not getting too much oxolates from raw fruits and veggies, and unsoaked nuts. Weston Price foundation has good info on how to properly prepare food so our bodies can break it down. Kale and other raw greens, berries and unsoaked nuts are notorious for eventually causing kidney stones from the high oxalate content.

[@HB-yk4ut]

This is what I will be doing. I will add this to my morning smoothie. I will get vanilla so that it doesn’t compete with the flavor too much. I will also add some l.gasseri and l. Reuteri yogurt along with chia seeds. Great for the new year!🎉

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Thanks!! I always thought kachava was a somewhat bogus and over priced product especially when compared to other protein powders out there. I don’t think it is a bad product, just overpriced and a bit falsely marketed. $120 for one month supply!!!😳

[@Tony-lm5zs]

Not just a protein powder, it’s a full meal replacement. Pricey yes it is but if your goal of to lose weight and get a-lot of natural ingredients, it’s a great option. Plus you can get the product cheaper electing for renewal of the product and push out the next shipment as long as you want. Not saying other options aren’t as good because I haven’t found them, but $59.99 isn’t bad at all to me

[@bbreon75]

Or just go try buying all of those superfoods individually and let me know what THAT cost. Just curious if it's more than $120 for one month's worth.

Thanks for the review. I just started drinking this. I've been eating sugary cereal for breakfast all my life and this is my attempt to get away from that junk. It's definitely not a meal replacement. By 10am I am starved and can't make it until lunch time to eat something. And, for some reason it gives me stomach pain. I found out if I eat something with it the pain is not as bad. I'll use it for a couple of months and decide if I want to continue or not. It is rather expensive. The other thing good about using this is that it's mixed with 17oz of water first thing in the morning and I'm pretty hydrated.

[@68868s]

I just purchased 3 bags. After hearing you talk on this, my idea is that I will drink Kachava not as a meal replacement but as a supplement and I will alter between days with a wheat grass smoothy and it will not cost me as much. I grow my own wheat grass and use my Vita-mix to make a smoothie. What are your thoughts on that?

[@rossimarti]

Pros & Cons, dosing, preparation/processing. Good info and true finding: it's marketed as a meal replacement, which it is not... it's basically a liquid snack, so if you like $4 liquid snacks... it might be a better option than a frappé at Starbucks.

[@JAYBLAK00]

A four dollar liquid snack?? Funny. I think it’s a great replacement for breakfast where most people consume, sugars, fats and bad carbs. Meal replacement is a subjective term. I say most Americans would do really well having Kachava first thing in the morning, then a more full-bodied lunch, ending with a sensible dinner. That alone will make anyone lean out and get a ton of ingredients they wouldn’t get on a consistent basis.

[@GeneHouse]

At 400 MG of sodium per serving. That doesn't sound like a healthy breakfast - just good marketing. @@JAYBLAK00

[@carlosrivera-tc3zv]

Thank you for the review, but for people like me that are always on the run or from one plane to another or from one meeting to another, it has helped me a lot. The taste is not bad, unlike other protein shakes that taste is no good. As a meal replacement, probable not. But at night when you want something light, it comes handy.

[@mistyashworth426]

I love this product because I tend to go without eating during the day due to my busy schedule. In addition it is a meal replacement when you add ingredients to the blend. It makes me feel great and my skin is awesome, and I am losing healthy weight. Last, where they source their products is huge to me, and they give back. So, regardless of this terrible review you’re giving, it is an amazing product.

Another excellent video. Thank you very much for providing us with quality and unbiased information. Hope to see a video about really effective supplements for insomnia.

[@elmarty4803]

I tried this and I actually felt full for most of the morning. Contrast that with trying to eat something or take a self made protein shake. I think it is a good product and I generally felt better taking it. I tried Huel and it was also good but much like its reviews said, I felt hungry within an hour of ingesting it. I did not feel the food craving with Kchava and maybe because I am generally busier in the morning but It did feel like a quality product. The taste and fixability was good as well. I also saw several other videos of people who were much more active than me and they felt they weren't getting enough nutrients. I am below moderately active in my opinion and it worked fine for me. Although I am on the shorter side and dont have a lot of strenuous activity during the day. So I think it depends on your body type and how you normally would get your intake. I really like how you pointed out some of the decencies and I think I saw it before but this was a helpful reminder. I just couldn't get over the cost of the product and felt if they lowered the price it would bring more people in. Of course that is just based on how I felt about it, others may feel differently. Thank you for you effort on this one!

[@shikharsharma6399]

Many nutritionalists posting the donside of meal replacement drinks miss one fact that there might be people who might be seeking as occasional quick replacement for missed meals and then snacking on icecreams, cookies, etc. Like I eat whole foods and self cooked food with nuts every day and trying to loose weight. But due to my profession(software Dev) there are days when I can't even move from my chair and sometimes don't have the grocessries at home. And those days can extend to multiple days at times. During those time I seek such a meal replacement options that do not given me insuline spike and run my hard work at the gym of the previous weeks. Additionally fuel me to keep up with work and an unanticipated quick visit to the gym in between busy schedules. Writing it here since you seemed genuine reviewer.

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

Thank you for your comment! You’re absolutely right - the meal replacement can serve a lot of different purposes. How you are using it is great. I think the advertising sometimes sways people into thinking that they shouldn’t focus on whole food like you are. Marketing is very powerful and I’ve been tricked myself more than a few times!

[@Channyg4lyfe]

I drink kachava in the morning for my intermittent fasting since it really isn't a meal. Its more of a really healthy protein shake.

[@brandonbellino8896]

But that's literally not how fasting works. Once you consume anything with calories, sugars, carbs etc your fast is broken and your body begins metabolizing it, which is why you're only supposed to drink water, black coffee, etc while in a fast. So if you're drinking it "for your intermittent fasting" then you're failing at it lol.

[@brandonlee93]

Agree with the previous reply. When you decide to break your fast, it should start with something like bone broth.

[@Tony-lm5zs]

It’s actually really a meal, especially when adding a banana and or peanut better.

[@MyLifeInTheDesert]

Hey this would be great to break your fast with but you aren’t actually intermittent fasting if you drink this. Nothing wrong with that. But if you’re doing an intermittent fast for certain health reasons, this shake is breaking that fast

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

@maxinemurello242 Thank you for your comment! See how it goes. If that doesn't work, to start, I would try decreasing fructose intake (i.e. fruit smoothies), limiting simple carbohydrates, not drinking any calories, and then incorporating some zone 2 exercise 3 times a week (work up to at least 45 min sessions). I know you aren't very active but look up the metabolic benefits of zone 2 training and see what you think. Exercise alone isn't the most effective tool to loose weight but it comes with a whole bunch of other health benefits. Of course, clear all of this with your doctor first. The above isn't going to be fully personalized to you since I don't know anything about you but I hope my response is somewhat helpful!

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

@brookestarly5290 Thank you for your comment! The main issue that I have with the product is that it's marketed as a meal replacement when it really isn't. If someone listens to the marketing and then takes the drink the way that it is recommended, they likely won't feel full - this results in them thinking that something is wrong with themselves rather than seeing the product for what it is. You're excited about trying the product and you'll be adding to it so I don't think you need to go spend your money on another product!

Hi! I could tell you are very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of perspective about products like this.

[@crazyvoice12]

It's not just a protein shake if there's more in it than protein. Also, if multivitamins aren't needed why do doctors prescribe multivitamin? Lastly, They do advise not to use this supplement in place of a balanced diet. So they kept it honest there.

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

Some physicians might think that a multivitamin is helpful for their patients. When it comes to a targeted benefit - magnesium for migraines, iron content for iron deficiency, etc - the multivitamin is not going to have the right amount of magnesium to give you a benefit for migraines. Also, companies can use forms of vitamins that are poorly bioavailable so someone might not be getting the boost of minerals and vitamins that they think they are getting (i.e. magnesium oxide - 4% bioavailability). Lastly, cellular processes are not going to shut down if you don't take a small amount of all vitamins and minerals each day. The intake of vitamins and minerals over a 1-2 week period is more important for maintaining levels of vitamins and minerals. From my view, if you are taking a supplement, it should be targeted to a defined health endpoint (right type of supplement, right dose, and right condition) that is relevant to your specific situation and if the outcome can be measured then it should be to see if the supplement is working. As for advising to use their supplement in place of a balanced diet - I am not sure if its honesty or if the FDA would fine them for telling people to replace their healthy diets with this product.

Great review, in this day in age these types of replacements are beneficial to the masses if used in moderation however, we should not be mislead by this awkward marketing!

I do still want to try it out for it's protein blend, I wanted something soyfree to use in tandem with soylent.

[@JAYBLAK00]

I generally eat breakfast on the go. It costs me between $9-$22 a day. Usually it’s a big breakfast with hotcakes at McDonald’s or eggs, home fries, bacon, & Cuban bread. Kachava at $4 is like a gift from God for someone like me! Even when I cook healthier at home it still costs me about $5 a meal and takes 15 mins and I still don’t get that range of ingredients. It seems to me like you had a prejudice viewpoint about the product, especially saying that putting all of hose vitamins in is basically them trying too hard. Well everyone has an opinion.

[@GoManGoDiscGolf-he5ho]

Been taking Ka’chava for protein and multivitamin, but you say people in industrial countries shouldn’t need a multivitamin. Can you elaborate on that? Thanks.

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

If you have a nutrient dense diet, you don’t have to get every vitamin and mineral everyday. Your diet over a 1-2 week period should be sufficient to give you everything you need. It’s an assumption that most people in industrialized societies would have access to high quality food (which isn’t always the case unfortunately) in comparison to those that are in developing countries. Also, multivitamins are not the best source of vitamins to target specific health concerns. For example, I take specific magnesium supplements for different health benefits - there’s no way a multi vitamin can replicate what I’m trying to achieve so I don’t find them helpful. Better to have specific health targets and then use the research data to guide dosing of specific supplements. I hope that’s helpful!

And that in essence was what brought me here because that dude is irritating and whenever I see his cheerful yet hungry face elated that he's on some far-off tropical island (because, you know, the message is, "Drink this and you too can live out your dreams as a skinny hippie somewhere in the tropics, like us!"), I just click until I see the video I actually want to see. Americans will try anything that sounds vaguely exotic and therefore, "healthy." Great video, by the way.

Your comment made me actually laugh out loud - you are totally spot on about the marketing haha

[@xxsekoxx]

For $120 a month, trust me people, you can make a much better shake. It may not have the same ingredients , but you can actually make one that has more beneficial vitamins in it. Most people lack in vitamins, and this product does not provide no where near enough.

[@vkniffen]

I am returning this Product. I had an Allergic Reaction from one Drink

[@fanchonirber2933]

I’ve been using it for seven months I like the taste it’s too expensive I can’t use anymore. Can anyone suggest something that isn’t as expensive and it’s good for you

[@joannasarcamedes8191]

Thanks very helpful, informative and above all truthful.

[@Lovestolvlup]

Thank you so much for this information. ❤

[@robinhayter7787]

The point in having a doctor review something is to add information that we couldn’t figure out on our own. I would have really appreciated a GI sample testing before and after a month of using it… instead of whatever this waste of time was.

[@michelleelle4622]

My husband purchased this without any discussion and it just arrived in the mail. So, naturally, I needed to start researching this product. (He never researches) Sounds like an over priced protein shake to me 🤦🏼‍♀️ We already have protein shakes in the house so no clue why he felt the need to order this one other than their advertising

[@cubanadelrey]

dang i’m so glad i’m not married and got someone at home policing everything i buy 😂 that sounds TERRIBLE

[@michelleelle4622]

@@cubanadelrey I don’t police everything he buys 🤣🤣 We have 4 other protein shakes here. 🤣 I figured this MUST be something good so I researched. Not so much 👎🏼🤦🏼‍♀️

[@barbarianatgate2000]

I think the mistake that a lot of people tend to make is simply looking at calories vs how the food is structured. This is also actually fairly high in carbs. The Chocolate, for example, is 25 total carbs, 16 net carbs, 7 sugars 6 added. I was really surprised to find that the Chai and Matcha were actually higher (17 net carbs) than the chocolate or vanilla. In terms of overall nutrition, it's not horrible, and definitely falls into the "lesser of two evils" category compared to a lot of foods. In terms of weight loss, unless you're actually using this as a meal replacement for at least one of your day's meals, you're probably not going to notice a major difference.

[@Iquey]

Thank you for this review. I already eat two apples and a handful of almonds many days a week as a snack.😂

[@yayakhanii8525]

@Grace...I agree! I too was considering.

[@jessicagalvin363]

Thank you for your video and information. I do have question to what think about these protein shakes or meal replacement shakes for those with IBS issues. Reason I ask is because sometimes after having a IBS issue you really don't want anything really heavy to upset your stomach/bowels. Hope that makes sense to you. Also I am wondering if you have or could you review a product from garden of life raw organic protein and greens formula and believe there is also one labeled raw organic meal replacement. Appreciate your time and feedback! Jessica 😊🙏

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

@jessicagalvin363 Thank you for your comment! I'll add that to my list! With IBS, it can be hard to predict what is going to set your bowel off. The issue with supplements is that the supplement makers don't have to rigorously report what they put in their supplements because supplements don't go through FDA approval. So it's possible that you read the label and everything looks good to you but once you try the product, you develop symptoms (from some unlabelled ingredient). If your IBS is very stable and you've had a lot of trouble in the past, I would limit the experimentation to be honest or at least keep it super simple. If the benefit to be gained from a product outweighs a possible flare up of your IBS then go ahead and try it. If I was going to try a new product then I would make sure that the week I try the supplement that I only eat the foods that my body agrees with - that way I don't need to wonder if it was the supplement or the meal that I had out that week for example. I would also do it during a week where things are more situationally stable - like not during a week of travel or a week where I have a work deadline. You should also ask your medical provider what they think since they know your situation the best. I hope this was sort of helpful!

[@cariefrost2930]

Are you still using Ka'Chava? Great video from Arizona

[@Austin-nx9vd]

I loved it right up until 2 weeks in I felt like I had diarrhea but I couldn't go. That was fun. Stopped the ka'chava and a day later I was totally back to normal. I'm going to try some competitors though and hopefully I'll find one that I like (and it likes me haha). Just ordered some LyfeFuel because I'm seeing good things about that. Then I'll probably try Huel.

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

Very fair lol. I'm putting together a review on Huel right now! I would say the taste of some of their products - like the hot and savoury - did not jive with me. The drink mixes weren't bad and I thought they mixed well. I haven't heard of LyfeFuel though. Send me an update to tell me if LyfeFuel ends up working out for you! Just looking at their site - are you going to try the 21 day transformation?

[@Austin-nx9vd]

@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc oh nice. I'll check back for your review of Huel. I've definitely heard mixed things, but the convenience of an easy & healthy breakfast and lunch really appeals to me because this two meals always feel like a chore for me. I'll respond here with thoughts on LyfeFuel after a week or two (it hasn't arrived yet). I just ordered one bag of the Essentials shake (it's even more expensive than ka'chava which is kind of ridiculous).

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

@@Austin-nx9vd Looking forward to it! Fingers crossed that it tastes good...maybe not too good since it might break the bank long term hehe

[@christinacagle8128]

DUDE NOT WORTH THE PRICE. its tastes like straight-up chalk. I agree, it is NOT a meal replacement and leaves me very hungry. its more something you ADD to your morning breakfast, which to me completely negates its purpose and what they claim they are.

[@caitlinwhatthefrick2361]

For the align mention, I heard it’s better to have many billions of probiotics in a probiotic supplement and that one billion (per serving) isn’t very sufficient?

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

Unfortunately, the 50 billion units and the "more is more" is largely a function of marketing. In general 1-2 billion units is fine. One thing you could do to separate out marketing from science is to look up the studies on the product. For example, if a product has an original version with 1 billion units and they have an "enhanced" version with 25 billion units but you can only really find research studies that used the 1 billion - then you know the 25 billion unit formula is probably just a way to get you to pay more money for a "premium product".

[@TawnyaHansenMDMSc]

Of course you can! However, that’s not how they are marketing the product so I’m reviewing based on the company’s marketing. The cost per serving and their tag line of “breakfast/lunch/dinner in seconds” is not based on you adding stuff.
