Ka’Chava: the ancient remedy for our modern busyness.

If I told you that there was a way to combat our 21st century busyness with a perfect marriage of the wisdom of the Aztecs, nutrient-packed superfoods and delicious tried-and-tested flavours, you’d probably be confused.

 

But that’s exactly the brainchild of the creators of Ka’Chava, dubbed as “The World’s Healthiest Meal Shake”. This vegan, gluten/dairy free and all-in-one meal replacement¹ aims to supply all essential nutrients to serve us active millennials, all without compromising on its deliciousness. Sounds too good to be true? 🤩

The only thing that sounds a little more magical is the poster-worthy slogan that Ka’Chava prides itself on: “It’s amazing what you can achieve when you feel your best”. 

Awww.

The creators of Ka’Chava found themselves confronting the cold, hard reality that in today’s fast-paced world, many have turned instinctively to foods that presented the quickest eating experience, even if such foods lacked the necessary nutrients to allow our bodies to perform up to their full potential. 😔

To combat this, the team behind Ka’Chava set out to “rediscover the ways of our ancestors who lived in harmony with the earth”. Practically, this meant investigating some of the nutrient-rich superfoods that were widely used and revered in ancient cultures for health and wellness. 🍀🌿

And lucky for us, they’ve found an ingenious way to combine all this goodness into a neat, fuss-free solution to ensure that we’d be adequately fueled for each day we have to conquer. 🔥

Whether you’re a young professional on-the-go, an athlete who wants a boost in nutrition, or simply someone looking for added health without expending too much precious time — this could be for you.

With more than 160,000 followers on Instagram, Ka’Chava’s explosive reach attests to just how many people are resonating with their message. In this Ka’Chava review, we’ll break down what makes Ka’Chava so special and exactly how it could add value to your life. We’ve also included some of our very own bonus tips on how Ka’Chava may be enjoyed in unconventional ways (if a milkshake doesn’t sound appealing enough to you). Read on to find out more! 👇👇

What on earth makes Ka’Chava so special?

I’m sure meal replacement products for a healthy diet aren’t necessarily a ground-breaking invention (at least not in the past decade), but Ka’Chava boasts several features that certainly caught our eye. 

Here are 3 components of a meal replacement product that you may wish to consider before jumping in: 

1. Nutrition 🍎🍐🍊🍋🥑
2. Taste 😘
3. Preparation 🧑‍🍳

1 of the 3 above factors may be more important to certain customers than the others, so we’ll discuss each in turn.

Why you should trust us

Our team has spent over 15 hours extensively testing and researching the best wellness products, including Ka’Chava. Our goal is to find the best brands who care about your well-being and help people live better lives. We evaluate supplements based on their adherence to quality, and their latest medical evidence.

We often ask ourselves a simple question: would we buy the product for ourselves and recommend it to our family and friends? This Ka’chava review is medically reviewed and thoroughly vetted by Amy Bells, our in-house dietian nutritionist, wellness expert and product tester herself!

How we tested Ka’Chava

Ka’Chava offers a 30-day subscription service so that you have enough of the superblend for the month. For these 30 days you get two packs of meal replacements, so I chose one chocolate flavor (how can you go wrong with a chocolate protein powder?) 😋 and one coconut acai to test one of the more exotic flavors. 🥥🌴

Ka-Chava claims to help with 11 aspects of your life, including immunity, energy, sleep, mental health, stress, digestion, and more.

I have always struggled with sleep, so I was really excited to try this superblend to see if it could actually help calm my mind and relax my body into a good night’s sleep 😴. I was also interested to see if it would boost my energy levels so that I could actually complete our workouts to the best of my ability 💪.

I started the month’s supply with a shake replacing our lunch, as this is the meal that I thought I would miss the least. I’m also super busy during the day, so having a drink on the go instead of having to sit down for a full meal was a definite plus.

Of course, I tried the chocolate flavor first, mixing two heaped tablespoons of powder with 12 ounces of water. I mixed it in a shake bottle and drank the whole lot within 10 minutes – it was so good! I actually had to refrain from making another that day.

Overall, I found that the shake kept me full throughout the rest of the day and I didn’t have to snack until dinner. Even then I only needed a smaller meal, so I could definitely see how it would help with weight loss and appearance.

Next I tried the coconut acai flavor for the second day, which was surprisingly refreshing and would taste amazing on a hot summer’s day. Again, it kept me full and made for a delicious midday drink.

Did it help my sleep? Yes! After a few days of drinking the meal replacements, I found that I was having longer stretches of deep sleep and feeling refreshed in the mornings 🤩.

It also seemed to help my energy and I stopped feeling so sluggish throughout the day. I started going to the gym after work and found that I was still able to smash out a great workout even after a full day’s work 🏋️‍♀️.

Nutrition: Aren’t all meal replacements already “healthy”?

Yes, they’re supposed to be. But what Ka’Chava meal replacement claims to offer is a nutrition explosion that provides a full range of vitamins, minerals, proteins, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, probiotics, and more. 

Other notable ingredients include yellow pea protein, whole grain brown rice protein, organic coconut flower nectar, organic tart cherry, organic carrot, organic green onion, organic maqui berry, organic blueberry, organic asparagus, organic celery, organic parsley leaf, organic spinach, organic garlic, organic broccoli, organic cabbage, organic green pepper, coconut milk and more.

But perhaps what’s even more impressive than what Ka’Chava has, is what it doesn’t. Ka’Chava holds itself to a “No Fillers, No Nonsense” policy, and is fully:

• Vegan
• Dairy-free
• Gluten-free
• Soy-free
• Preservative-free
• Free of artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners

Given that Ka’Chava clearly steers clear of many allergens that customers may wish to avoid, we honestly can’t see anything else that customers would want excluded. 🥳

Aside from the ingredients and avoided allergens, Ka’Chava also transparently provides a full set of nutritional facts for the product on its website. All our label-reading friends out there – you are seen and heard. ❤️

But for those of us who just want a high-level summary, you’d be happy to note that 1 serving of a Ka’Chava meal replacement contains just 240 calories, 25 grams of protein and 7 grams of fat. Since the majority of its ingredients contain satisfying proteins, the end product is a filling meal replacement shake that’s unlikely to leave you craving³ any post-meal snacks. 👏

Note: We would advise having a close read of Ka’Chava’s ingredients list if you’re particular on which superfoods you’d like to have, since there are some slight variations on ingredients between flavours. 

Taste: Is this going to go down nicely?

The answer’s yes. If the term “meal replacement” conjures the mental image of a pasty bowl of cement-looking crudge, we don’t blame you – it’s happened and we’ve lived through that too. 🥵 In fact, the creators of Ka’Chava have hilariously admitted that most plant-based shakes (like theirs) “taste like twigs and lawn clippings”.

We love that they keep it real. 😂

To the contrary, Ka’Chava prides itself on being “smooth, creamy, delicious and not too sweet”. They’ve worked hard to create a taste, consistency and texture that all combine to provide a satisfying meal experience (all without sacrificing the amazing health benefits in this jam packed product).

As for flavours, Ka’Chava have gone both old-school and ultra-trendy: Chocolate, vanilla and their latest addition, Coconut Acai. (Cue the drools.🤤🤤🤤) 

Each of the flavours work well on their own, and also as mixed into other flavor combinations. Just to whet your taste buds and spark some imagination, just picture:

• Chocolate Ka’Chava + Almond Butter
• Vanilla Ka’Chava + Pumpkin Spice
• Coconut Acai + Avocado

This means that customers who fear having the same meal replacement shake daily needn’t worry – it doesn’t take too much to change the entire flavour profile of the shake from day to day, and the possibilities are endless! 🤗

Preparation: Do I just add iced water and call it a day?

Yes, you could – but there’s so much more that you can do with Ka’Chava, and the team behind it have not held back in sharing their secrets! 😏

Turns out, aside from being a “milkshake” (aka “meal shake”) base, the powder may also be used for a whole range of other preparations, including baked/no-baked treats, smoothie bowls and more! Again, the sky’s the limit on possibilities here and the Ka’Chava team clearly thought to counter any monotony from the outset. ✌️

Meal-shake style

But first, the basics. 

The signature Ka’Chava meal shake is prepared simply with 2 heaping (not level) scoops of Ka’Chava powder, along with 12-14 oz of ice-cold water. The shake may be blended, or shaken. The creators recommend that if you’re in for a thicker texture, adding a couple of extra ice cubes and blending the mix will help create the ideal texture. 

To spice things up, Ka’Chava can also be blended with other icy beverages (think non-dairy milks, coconut waters, etc), and supplemented with other flavor boosters (think nut butters, frozen fruits, avocados — the options are endless!)

Ka’Chava Kitchen

If you wanna get a little creative, the collection of creative recipes on Ka’Chava Kitchen (a dedicated section of the website) is sure to please. 🤩🤩🤩

The team behind Ka’Chava have ingeniously collated a list of simply mouth-watering recipes and flavour combinations, using their 3 signature flavours as a base. Some examples include:

• The Blackforest Ka’Chava Smoothie
• The Blueberry Blush Ka’Chava Smoothie
• The Kiwi Crush Ka’Chava Smoothie
• The Tahiti Sweetie Ka’Chava Smoothie
• The Berry Easy Ka’Chava Smoothie
• The “PBCB” Ka’Chava Smoothie

Drooling yet? It gets better. 😱  #saywhat

If meal shakes are just too basic for you, or you prefer a meal replacement with a little more of a bite, the Ka’Chava Kitchen delves into a whole range of other recipes, including:

• Bowls like the Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl, Chocolate Raspberry Protein Oatmeal and the Chai Smoothie Bowl
• No-baked goodies like the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
• Baked treats like the Valentine Chocolate Mug Cakes and Banana Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

Admittedly, these recipes will involve a little more commitment than preparing Ka’Chava in its OG-style, but those with a little time to spare will surely have no lack of variety. In fact, we love how Ka’Chava makes it easier to incorporate these superfoods into delectable treats we already know and love – making this an ideal investment even if you’re not all that fond of the regular meal shake-style Ka’Chava. 😎

Real talk: What does Ka’Chava really do for you?

So now that we’ve got your taste buds all revved up, let’s get down and dirty with the truth of what Ka’Chava can (and can’t) do for you. 🤓

Will Ka’Chava help me to lose weight?

In a nutshell, yes and no. 

As a meal replacement, Ka’Chava is relatively low-calorie and perhaps more importantly, ultra satisfying, which leaves your tummy with little room to put anything else in there (especially any of those late night snacks we know and love so well). The whole aim here is not to deprive your body of intake, but “scaling back on ultra processed fare that fills you with empty calories”. 💪

It also helps that Ka’Chava contains plenty of probiotics and digestive enzymes⁴. Your body breaks down food better, absorbing the necessary vitamins and minerals, all whilst keeping the outflow department running well. 😉

That said, the usual caveats apply: A meal replacement would only work to shed pounds if you truly commit (that is, no post-Ka’Chava snacking on second or third meals), and that requires discipline and a lifestyle adaptation.

If you’re keen to read more on what exactly Ka’Chava contains to make it a weight loss aide, the website has a detailed write-up on this (How helpful! 😇)

Will Ka’Chava help me build muscle?

In a nutshell, yes. In fact, this very quality allows Ka’Chava to be used not only as a meal replacement powder for weight loss, but also a muscle-building supplement (or even a healthy snack!)

Ka’Chava certainly contains loads of proteins⁵, all from natural, plant-based sources that you know and trust. But they’ve also taken pains to highlight that building muscle also depends on an entire “powerhouse nutrient lineup” including other vitamins, minerals and antioxidant foods, to help reduce muscle fatigue and boost muscle recovery⁶. 🏃‍♀️🏃

Again, Ka’Chava have gone over and beyond to detail the top 7 muscle supporting nutrients in Ka’Chava – so if you’re looking to invest in a product that’ll help build them guns, we’d highly recommend giving this a read. 💪💪💪

Comparison: Ka’Chava vs. Huel

If you’ve ever tried Huel and are wondering whether there is a more satisfying meal replacement option, then Ka’Chava is the one for you. It tastes better, is more loved by customers, and includes more beneficial ingredients. Ka’Chava blows Huel out of the water.

Both of these brands are plant-based and vegan, so can be enjoyed by everyone. They also have an amazing micronutrient profile, with Ka’Chava containing 26 vitamins and minerals while Huel contains 27.

One of the main reasons why people make the switch from Huel to Ka’Chava is because there is much more nutrition in the latter. Ka’Chava has over 70 ingredients within each serving, while Huel contains much less than this.

You’ll be benefiting from more super ingredients in Ka’Chava, which will all be helping to keep you fuller for longer and aiding your body.

The taste is also better than Huel, and this is a common consensus throughout most of the customers for Huel and Ka’Chava. The reviews for Huel state that the flavors are either too bland and boring, or too sickly sweet. Ka’Chava has a much better taste 😋.

Overall, many agree that Ka’Chava is the best option between these two meal replacements, on account of the taste, ingredients, and benefits.

What other customers are saying

Now that we’ve discussed everything that Ka’Chava claims it has to offer, we turn to the word on the street to find out exactly how it’s performing. 

In short — very well. ☑️

The vast majority of Ka’Chava users are ardent superfans. Boasting a 4.7 star rating based on a whopping 28,114 reviews (on its website), it’s clear that Ka’Chava has quite the following. Many reviews on the website praise its great taste and how filling it is to adequately fuel a busy day.

One customer notes, “Not a breakfast person and Kachava has changed my life. Added to my morning and now have a ton of energy and helps with my cravings all day.” The delightful taste and tangible health benefits were also echoed by another customer: “Felt a positive difference the first day. Been enjoying Ka’Chava everyday since. Tastes great, filling, with noticeable health benefits.”

It’s also telling that the product’s rating on Amazon is closely matched at around 4.5 stars, based on 4,483 ratings. Again, many have commented on how Ka’Chava tastes amazing for its nutritional value for a healthy diet, and how it delivers on filling you up.

Some negatives, however, were largely premised on the price factor. Some commented that the powder was relatively expensive as a meal replacement, especially in comparison to several competitors. Other users had their reservations with the taste of Ka’Chava. 🤭

That said, as with all other food products, taste reception is subjective and depends on the taste buds of the specific consumer. The only way to know for sure if Ka’Chava is for you is to actually give it a shot – which makes it so important to understand its pricing and return/refund policy, which we discussed below.

Pricing, returns and refunds

One of the most voiced complaints about Ka’Chava relates to its pricing. A one-time purchase of a single bag of Ka’Chava retails for $70/bag, and subscribing members pay $60/bag for an identical bag. Each bag has about 15 servings, so you can expect to pay anywhere between $4 to $4.60 per serving of Ka’Chava.

Considering that this would likely translate to an investment of about $120 per month (assuming you consume Ka’Chava once a day), that sounds like a lot to dish out at one shot. 🤨

However, bearing in mind that each serving translates to a mere $4, consuming Ka’Chava as a meal replacement as intended isn’t a bad deal at all. The deal is made even sweeter bearing in mind the huge variety of superfoods that you’d normally have to pay dearly for to consume as individual supplements. 💯

Our verdict? It’s definitely a good deal – and it’d be made even better if you’re able to commit as a subscribing member. We’d recommend making a single one-time purchase just to know if the product’s for you, then immediately hopping onto the subscription model if it is, to maximise cost savings. Subscriptions may also be cancelled at anytime, if you’re having second thoughts. 👏

Ka’Chava even offers a 100% money back guarantee, allowing customers to get a full refund within 30 days if they don’t like the product. (Note however that Ka’Chava will only offer 1 refund per flavor per bag, i.e. if you ordered 2 bags of chocolate Ka’Chava, you’ll only be refunded for 1).

Our honest opinion

In our Ka’chava review, there’s very little in life that offers an all-rounded product that offers nutrition, efficiency and fun in a single product – but Ka’Chava seems to do just that. 

What we’ve gathered is that everything there is to love in Ka’Chava has been made clear on their astonishingly transparent and detailed website, and anything not to love tends to rely heavily on personal preference (eg: taste profiles and pricing), rather than quality of the actual product.

At the end of the day, if you’re someone on the go, or in Ka’Chava’s brilliant words – someone “running a business, marathon or family”, there may be little downside to giving Ka’Chava a shot. This could very well be the key to unlocking a whole new level of feel-good you never knew you needed. ✌️✌️
