On my 4th month on Ka Chava replacing 2 meals a day. Down 77 lbs
Omg that’s amazing!!!! Congrats!! Can you share what you do? Wow that’s impressive
Wow…amazing DC Prepper! You are crushing it!
Wow awesome!
Dang
@@FitnessFinance4u ohhhhh so you're supposed to drink this whenever u are hungry but not for every meal? So like could I eat eggs sausage toast etc for breakfast but drink kachava for lunch nd dinner
I totally love how you break everything down to pros and cons including prices. Your video is certainly more informative than most. Thank you for producing it.
Appreciate that John!
He things he know nutrition but I’m not sure about that…..ca chava has no digestive enzymes which will b a disaster for digestive system
Yes please review after 6 months. I also just started a subscription. I’m 4 days in and the product is cleaning out my digestive system from the extra fiber I’ve added with Kachava. I feel incredible in just a few days. Yes not as filling as I thought but possibly adding some almond milk, banana and peanut butter will help to make it more complete and make you feel fuller for longer. But overall amazing product for all it’s healthy list of ingredients.
Thanks Maribel. Starting my 6 months sub today and we'll see how it goes!
Wow, that recipe sounds amazing! Chocolate and peanut butter are trigger foods for me, so while I'm doing keto and Intermittent Fasting I'll take a hard pass, but file in the back of mind for another time.
Thanks for sharing! Be well.
I add almonds, almond milk, half of one banana, one half of cup of raw oatmeal.
WoW! Great idea!
The body detoxes itself. If you body is not detoxing you need to get your liver now kidneys checked immediately. There is nothing you can do to detox your body. This is a myth.
So, I think another few points to consider into your price comparison of your meal vs Ka’chava : travel expenses to the market, time to find, purchase, transport home meal items, water to clean items, electricity to store items in refrigerator, time for prep, cook and clean up and electricity/ gas to cook. I think time is money :) Thank you
Diana, those are all good points. I made it as simple as possible because I didn't want to get into (Price of gas in your state? How many miles a gallon does your car get? How far is grocery store from your house? Do you shop at Kroger or Whole Foods? How much do you make per hour? How long does it take you to shop?, etc.). As you can see, it could get quite complicated.
I drink Kachava at lunch and eat dinner. I am down 15 pounds in 1 month. I love this stuff
That's awesome S1krr!
Your reviews are amazing, thank you for taking the time to do them!!
Thanks Cheri. Glad you like them!
You are the most comprehensive best and most trustworthy review I’ve found. So grateful!!!!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for enlightening the viewers. Fantastic job!!!❤
Thanks Zahra! 👍🙌
I usually eat breakfast at McDonald's so literally anything will be an improvement.
🤣
This is great and helps me decide to give this a try as well. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful Diego!
Thanks so much for making this video! I’m sipping on my very first Ka’Chava drink, now. I look forward to your six month follow up. Please, please do one!!
Here you go. ua-cam.com/video/h7vRVC7Ci-U/v-deo.html
Great review, thank you!
Thanks DJ C-Dog...glad you liked it and I hope it helped!
Im gonna follow you for your recipes.. you super good at your portions!
Thanks Brittany. It takes a lot of discipline, I'm not gonna lie. It is always shocking to see how much food I think I'm consuming, and then see the reality of my consumption after tracking it. I'm usually eating way too much! 🤣 I can't wait until I'm a total "intuitive eater"!
Dude I subscribed to you just after watching this review which was most extensive i've seen yet on that product 👍👍
Thanks D J!
Thanks for the review! I think Kachava may cost a bit more than a home-prepared meal, but that is the time-vs-cost tradeoff. I think it's a good deal on that point. As a vegan, I sometimes have trouble finding vegan food when traveling (not that I've done much of that in the past 2 years, lol) and this really looks like it could be a great solution to take along on trips so I'm not stuck eating salad and breakfast bars.
Memento Team...I do agree that it's a good, vegan, healthy alternative, especially when you are traveling.
You are so thorough, thank you.
Appreciate it moladh do Dhia!
Great review! Really appreciate the way you break down and compare the cost and nutritional values. Look forward to your 6-month usage review.
Much appreciated Chris. T!hanks for watching1
Yes the review thanks for the info!!!
Glad I could help!
Good review just finished my 1st bag good stuff I make mines with almond milk and kale strawberry and black berry's I lost 10lbs in 3 weeks...
Thanks Bigg Esso Gaming. Appreciate the tips on what to add to it too.
Great review. Love how much detail you went into. Just ordered 2 bags: Vanilla and Chocolate. Will sip slowly and see how it goes.
Great Rikki...let me know what you think of it.
@@FitnessFinance4u I like Kachava and my stomach likes it too! So many shakes are hard to digest. I like 1 heaping scoop with almond milk and 1/4 of a small banana to get a boost during the 3-4pm energy drop. Fills me up and I'm not hungry until dinner about 3 hours later. I also eat a smaller dinner since I'm not ravenous.
I tried it and fell n love.
Thank you for posting 📫 this video 😊. I really want to buy this.. I found your channel. You have a new subscriber..
Thanks for watching and subbing Nelson!
Great review & fair. Thanks
Thanks for watching Gasser!
Great review! Thanks
Thanks for watching tamara farley!
PLEASE DO A REVIEW!! Your video was so well done 👍🏼 thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you Genesis! Looking like I’ll do a 6 month follow up 😀
@@FitnessFinance4u yessss
My first time here. I like what I hear. Going to subscribe as I too drink ka’chava. Thanks.
Thanks for the sub Terri!
Thanks for the reviews. I watched this and your Athletic Greens one as well. Question, I know they're not a complete one-to-one, but in your opinion, which one do you think is better nutritionally?
Pianoomann88, you are right. They are not the same thing, so you can’t compare the two against each other. My suggestion is this. If you have trouble remembering to take supplements every day, or it’s just to big of a hassle, and you can afford it, take Athletic Greens (and take some Vitamin D too). And, if you find yourself in a jam and need a quick meal, use Ka’Chava. So, you can use both at the same time.
@@FitnessFinance4u Thanks! Appreciate the response.
This is a very great review.
Thanks Mandii J!
Excellent review. I add to my Ka’Chava drinks leafy greens, blueberries, avocado, almonds, and the like to increase the fullness factor. I’ve remained at BMI 24 since I began consuming the product.
Thanks Scott. Sounds like you’ve found a good plan with Ka’Chava too!
Super comprehensive review! Thanks so much! Opinions please!! I just turned 55 and have been slowly but steadily dropping pounds for the past 10 months to the point that I'm now about 20 lbs underweight. (I feel fine otherwise and a recent 'physical' revealed no health issues). Also, though I am not weak-stomached overall, I must stagger any supplements I take thorougout the day (and only with/after food). Might this be an easier way to ensure my daily nutrient intake? Since I wish to gain weight, will this mix with something other than water? Perhaps coconut milk? TIA.
ChillBabyChill, congratulations! Sounds like you found almost "too good" of a way to lose weight. As for supplement intake, I'm not an expert on this and would advise you seek some advice from a registered nutritionist. It probably would only take a visit or 2 and you could get some solid advice about your nutrition and supplement intake schedule. Keep it up!
Hi @fitness&finance thanks for this video. New subscriber here. Just purchased this product and I plan on starting it tomorrow as a meal replacement for breakfast or lunch. Was a little skeptical but you walked me thru it. I am looking to loose weight and hope to have enough energy to want to work out. (man do I need a push for that too! lol) Hope it works for me. Yes please do a six month review. Thanks again. 🌠
Lady Starfall...the first step is just starting to do it and you are!!! Good luck with it and be patient. You'll probably be a bit hungry after drinking it the first few times. I suggest sipping slowly and that will help. Thanks for subscribing and I'll be back with the follow up in a few months!
I ordered a bag of Kachava this morning so I was really happy to watch your video
Nice!
I love the Aztec vibe that the bag gives me.
🙌
Great video , thanks
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting.
On another topic what do you think of bone broth and potential benefits? Have you tried?
Also do you ever eat sandwiches for lunch?
Thx, Jane
Jane, I have heard great things about bone broth, but not being much of a cook, I haven't incorporated it into any of my recipes. And yes, if I'm out and about and I can't find anything healthy, I'll grab a sandwich from a deli...but very rarely and never at home
You deserve way more subs
Thanks Jojo!
thx man. just what i wanted to know.
Glad I could help!
love your videos, please review ora organics!
Thanks Tia...I'll check that product out.
You should try out Shanga meal replacement. That stuff is so good.
Amazing Naturals...I'll take a look at it. Cheers.
Thanks. I like your style
Thanks Kakarot!
thanks for this, I've been wondering about this powder.
Any chance you've come across a frozen microwavable meal that rivals your "real" meal in this video?
Thanks FunkyRob. I haven’t seen any frozen meals that would equal my “real meal” as frozen meals usually have a ton of sodium in them and the nutrients don’t quite stack up. But who knows? I may come across one in the future.
I just started using Ka'Chava and I found that I'm still a bit hungry myself so I add a whole tray of ice and peanut butter and banana this seems to help with the filling up and being satisfied between meals. It definitely is cleaning up my digestive system as I don't think I get enough fiber. I have IBD and thus far is helping me out with that it also has calmed down my sugar cravings as well. I've spent more money on things that aren't good for me . I'm a mess trying to get back to a younger feeling person and gotta start somewhere in a positive direction!!
Joshua...good on you. As I found, it just takes time and consistency!
@Joshua Bush Add frozen fruits such as banana, strawberries and yoghurt along with a little milk. It will not only make it thick but more filling.
You are adding a bunch of solid food to make this tolerable I'd say just go without and just blend a bunch of stuff you like instead way cheaper and will taste better
Great Video, I really enjoyed how you broke down the nutrients and details. I love sun warrior, drink it all the time. I need help with body pain, sleepling, energy and meal replacement. I just ordered Ka'Chava and I am looking forward to seeing if this will make a difference for me. Price wise, Ka'Chava is 20 bucks more, provides less meals for the cost so it will be interesting to test Ka'Chava out. Crossing my fingers for a night of better sleep, energy and a whole body balance. I will keep you updated.
Windy…glad it was helpful! You might want to check out my latest video that puts Ka’Chava against Huel. Huel is another good “meal replacement” alternative. Ka'Chava VS Huel Meal Replacement Drink | Which One Is The Best?
ua-cam.com/video/q7D0dqGvaxs/v-deo.html
Enjoyed your review. My take......good for a busy lifestyle, good for nutrition (would be impossible to replicate the components), good for value. I also assign it a value of - "8". I look forward to a 6 month review.
👍
I'd like to see a review after 6 months. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Sure thing John. Thanks for checking out my video!
I’m loving Ka’Chava! Plus, when I consider my time cooking meals, instead of just trowing Ka’Chava in a blender, I think Ka’Chava wins.
It’s not a bad substitute for a meal every once in a while.
Please review after 6 months!.
Great review. Thank you! I just got by bag. Taste good, let's see how it does.
Milly, I think I will. It looks like there’s a lot of interest on Ka’Chava!
I am trying Ka'Chava. Having enjoyed the energy difference after trying Sakara meals for a month, I am wondering if this whole body meal shake will have a similar impact. Thanks for posting this!
New Day Eats...let me know how it goes!
@@FitnessFinance4u Will do!
I'm diabetic and when my sugar drops because i haven't stopped to eat ka chava helps me a lot. And i feel satisfied for hours.try it with almond milk
Sounds like you’ve found a good solution!
I use Kachava and it is the first meal replacement I’ve tried that is actually filling where when I drink it, I physically feel full like I can’t take in anymore food….Although, it is only this filling when I use Almond milk instead of water.
LivSimple...I wish it was the same for me 🤣.
The problem is it's still processed, real while foods are best. Just blend vegetables and fruits with ice in a blender
I give it a 9 in my experience..thanks 4 your cool video you forgot to factor in the time in which it takes to prepare your Real food meal..you know cut, slice, mix..the prepare. Whereas ka'chava it's just pour water n ice and the spin of the blender...
clean up..Done..plus u can add more items into it like bananas or whatever...so yeah. I did enjoy your presentation.
.thank you so much!👍
Thanks for watching Mikki...and yes, you are right, Ka'Chava is a lot easier than cooking natural foods, I admit!
Nice vid man. I see you even followed up!
Cheers Anon! Thanks for watching.
Thank you. I’m curious about 6 months down the road..
Travel Girl...I ended up doing a 4 month review instead ua-cam.com/video/h7vRVC7Ci-U/v-deo.html
Will buy it n give it a try
Maria...let me know what you think
What about your electric grill
Would you say this is good for weight loss when combined with some exercise? This seems like it would be great to do just that.
I do. But I also think it's best to limit yourself to 1 a day...no more.
@@FitnessFinance4u I just saw the price 😅
@Fitness & Finance ohhhhh so you're supposed to drink this whenever u are hungry but not for every meal? So like could I eat eggs sausage toast etc for breakfast but drink kachava for lunch nd dinner
YSNx NIKEE...I would only use it once a day max!
Cómo te ha ido con el? Estoy buscando algo como opción de desayuno! Esto podría ser?
Caitlyn...give it try and see if you like it
What I want to know, can you lose weight with kachava? I am stuck on my weight lose, have a lower back injury so cant do too much on workouts. I just need to lose 20lbs and I am set. This was a great video and I subscribed to check your 6 months review. Thank you!
I think Ka'Chava is a part of it. But you don't just want to drink Ka'Chava as you want to eat "real" food in other meals to help and maybe only use Ka'Chava once a day? I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey!
@@FitnessFinance4u I bought it in Vanilla and it tastes good actually and I am doing once a day and a full meal anytime before 7pm- it really helped me with binge eating. :)
I’ve tried huel in the past. I like the ingredients better in kachava but it’s not as calorie dense? Sodium content is a hair higher with Kachava. I can see it working as a meal replacement but I’m curious how satiated you would feel and how long that would last if you’re very active? Not sure that it would replace a protein shake. Guess what I’m getting at is… If you’re starving after a work out, drink the shake but end up eating a full meal anyway… Lol… Maybe I just need better self-control🤣🤣
Autumn....I just did a review on Huel. I have to say that Huel is more filling, for sure. I think down the line I might do a Huel vs Ka'Chava review. And yes, it requires a bit more discipline to get used to Ka'Chava as a meal replacement. But the nutrients are pretty darn good.
Yeah- any replacement I ever took ended up being an additional x calories to my regular meal anyway…. So for me, I just make sure my meals are nutrient dense 😂
Just bought two bags to save on shipping. Still, the price of this product is prohibitive. Subscription makes me nervous unless it’s very easy to turn on/off/skip deliveries. As a true meal “replacement” I’m very hungry soon after a serving. Adding other ingredients is probably next in my experiment. I too would be interested in a six month follow up. I think your regular meals are likely much more nutritious than the average person. Pretty wholesome.
Thanks Mark. I actually recently did a 4 month follow up review that you can check out here. ua-cam.com/video/h7vRVC7Ci-U/v-deo.html
Kachava flavors:
•Chocolate
•Vanilla
•Coconut Acai
•Chai
•Matcha
My go to is mixing one scoop of chocolate & one scoop of vanilla. I have yet to try the coconut acai, chai & matcha.
Ps. Shipping is free when you order two bags :-)
Cheers Cici!
I just started taking kachava. The vanilla flavor tastes very good. I'm not using it for weight loss. For me it's an easy way to get all of the nutrients in this blend. Also it's soy FREE!
Mr. John, it's got a lot of good nutrients...that's for sure.
I use it every day for breakfast. three scoops last me for 3 hours. I add creatine and 3 to 2 psyllium fiber.
that's a nice morning kick off!
Start watching a video reviewing Ka'chava, get a commercial for Ka'chava during it.
We also have to understand bio availability you see the fiber in the real food goes through the body slower then liquid
Good point Toffer
Alright then just add fiber to the liquid lol
What's the best kachava substitute? Anyone compare this to options?
Clint, have you tried Huel? Here’s a video I did on that product. Ka'Chava VS Huel Meal Replacement Drink | Which One Is The Best?
ua-cam.com/video/q7D0dqGvaxs/v-deo.html
Hmm so if your only supposed to use it with a balanced meal then I probably shouldn't have bought it because I barely eat and I want a easier way to get more energy and keep my body going. It's on the way so I haven't tried it yet but now I'm worried. Is it still OK to use kachava every day even tho I don't have a balanced diet 🤔 or will it do more harm then good?
Rachelynn wood, I'm definitely not a Dr. or nutritionist, so I can't answer your question as well as they would. But, I do want to let you know that it doesn't say "use with a balanced meal" on the package. It says " Used as part of a well balanced diet. Do not use this product as your only source of nutrition". I used Ka'Chava once a day for a month and it was fine. Personally, I wouldn't use it more than that, but that's just my opinion. I kind of think of it as a more nutritious "protein shake" and meal replacement drink. Hope that helps?
I would add real food in like a nut butter serving, banana, strawberries- anything. Flaxseed/ chia seed ground- research recipes for chocolate smoothies or other flavors. I think some nutrition from the shake is better than none
Do you think it would be god to drink for weight loss or what would your suggestion be?
Jason, that's a good question and, unfortunately, I'm not a certified nutritionist or nutrition expert of any kind, so I can't really give you advice. I think it's best to consult a professional on this as losing weight is a whole "lifestyle" change in training yourself to eat right. So its a bit more complicated than just drinking something to lose weight. If you can consult an expert (that you can find a good review on from using things like Yelp in your area), they might say this is an ok "part" of it. For example, I don't use it to lose weight, I use it when I'm too busy to make a meal. Another good idea is to check out the trainers/nutritionists on YT who are "certified" nutritionists, or at least are connected to one, and know what they are talking about. They give some "excellent" advice. My favorite for that is Magnus Lygback, whose food philosophy I follow and it's very simple. He also interviews nutritionists and Dr.s on his channel. I hope that helped? I know it's a very long answer, but losing weight and maintaining it is a life long journey of educating yourself and changing old habits into new ones.
I’m trying to gain weight I can’t get over 160 and I’m 6’1” so I still eat my meals and I just added kchava to try and gain weight nothing else has worked……any tips? U deserve more subscribers btw
Kyle...thanks for the kind words! I don't know a lot about weight gain, but there are a lot of knowledgable guys on YT you might want to check out, mostly bodybuilders, who have had pretty great results with weight gain and they put their healthy diets on YT as well. Here's a couple that I follow: Richard Duchon ua-cam.com/video/lTNLwexiZQ0/v-deo.html
Zac Perna ua-cam.com/video/FuT53BAAYuo/v-deo.html
I hope that helps!
Is the product available at Whole Foods? This might help me on my crazy work days.
I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure. I think it's less expensive to just start out with two bags (free shipping) and see what you think. I'm a fan...so far.
I want to try kachava because i want more vegetables and plant based foods in my system
Sounds like a plan Maksym...
Personally, for my body anyway (and I do have pretty fast metabolism...was a scrawny kid), I consider a meal more like 700-1,000 calories. Less than that is a snack to me. Calories make energy!! Love nutrients but I also love calories, especially the more I exercise! So I have no idea why anyone would consider a serving of Kachava a meal; I hope what they meant by that is just implying it could be (for more calories) say blended with bananas and nut butter and nut milk as a shake...or mixed into oatmeal. Or an awesome energy ball snack (hmm maybe that could involve oats too?). Oats, bananas, and peanut butter are all quite cheap. Or I'd be ok having it just with say nut milk and thinking of it just as a tasty, easy, super nutrient-dense snack between usual meals - say every other day, so that's like $70/month. Worth it to me. Those are my thoughts. I can't wait to try it!!! Looks SO nutritious and tasty to me!!! Though sodium maybe kinda high? I have a feeling it's even more addictive than Ovaltine or hot cocoa. That was fun seeing it compared to a healthy, homecooked meal! Thanks for the video.🙂
Flower, they definitely consider the drink a “meal replacement” on its own and no additions. And yes, not many calories, so hard to get used to as a meal, but that’s what they market it as. You sound like you hit the genetic lottery! 😀 My meals are between 400 and 500 calories max, and my snacks are less. Sigh, I’m envious 🤣
You are right on….. also, if you happen to be watching carbs, Kachava is not your drink….
I have a steak and baked potato and then add ice cream to my shake. Perfect meal. 😁
🤣
You forgot two economic points: 1. Cost of energy to cook own meal and, 2. Cost of your time to prepare the meal. Probably makes the powder less expensive unless the cost of ice, water, and cost of energy to mix is considered.
Mike L....those are all good points. I chose not to include items like "cost of gas to cook food, boil water, etc." as it gets complicated as all states and counties have different rates and the rates vary depending on what time of day you cook. Then, like you said, I would have to consider cost to make ice for my Ka'Chava shake, water, energy used with blender, etc. So I kept it simple.
Have you tried Optavia? Would love that review! ☺️
Not yet. I'll have to look into that HotDonna.
Great review brother. Im on my way to get leaner . I'm on my 40s and for some reason I stop taking care of myself. 10 years ago I was an athlete competing at nacional stages of Enduro and downhill mountain biker. I got married and after a few crashes I stop riding and started going to the gym but then stared eating horribly. I suffer from anxiety and it makes me eat to much even though I'm not hungry and can still eat tons of food. I'm gonna give it a try to replace my lunch or probably my dinner...my only concern is that you mentioned that it doesn't make you feel satisfy
Thanks for posting this "I dont care Sapo". I completely understand how a few "crashes" could take you out of your rhythm and things can end up taking the wrong turn. I had a few shoulder surgeries and it really got me down as it seemed I couldn't get back to where I was. However, one day, I just decided to change my outlook. In my opinion, eating right is a state of mind and you need to force yourself to do it at first, even if you don't like it. Over time you'll form "new" healthy habits where you actually crave healthy food. Never thought it would happen to me, but it did. If Ka'Chava is the product that gets you started again, that's great. Also, I'm now totally satisfied after drinking it. I've learned to "sip" it slower so my stomach communicates to my brain that I am full. It takes a while, but it works! Cheers!
Am I mistaken! But is powder food astronauts take to space?
🤣🤣🤣
How bout a link to the 6 months review. It's been 2 years.
This was my latest. Ka'Chava 4 Month Follow Up Review | What Do I Think Of It Now?
ua-cam.com/video/h7vRVC7Ci-U/v-deo.html
Is Kachava keto friendly.?
Rpm Auto Parts Inc...I looked it up on the faqs page of Ka'Chava, and here's what it said.
"Not for a standard ketogenic diet, but possibly for variations of keto that involve carb cycling.
A standard keto diet requires you to consume about 75-80% of your calories from fat, 15-20% from protein, and only 5% from carbohydrates. Based on these guidelines, regular intake of Ka'Chava would likely contribute too much protein and carbs, and not enough fat.
That said, some people take a cyclical keto approach, which involves following a keto diet for 5-6 days, followed by 1-2 days of higher carb consumption. These “refeeding” days are meant to replenish depleted glucose reserves, and some claim this approach is superior for exercise performance and muscle growth." Hope that helps
@@FitnessFinance4u thanks. I'm focusing on weight lost now
3:45 first mistake ,...omho, it is disgusting with just water, use some kind of milk, I use almond milk in order to cur calories.
Gustavo, I actually like Ka'Chava with just water. The tough part was getting used to "not feeling full" after I drank it. Now, I drink it slower and it seems to be working. I'm sure it tastes good with almond or oat milk though.
@@FitnessFinance4u That’s also because of just water, try sone milk and you will see. Bluberries, kiwi et voila
Just ordered huel have you tried this?
Gmotion EDC...here's my review on Huel...ua-cam.com/video/8yd_tzqBXnA/v-deo.html
Put into the equation cooking costs ;) what it costs to heat the meat and veggies ;)
Targaryen King...good point, but getting into that would have really been too granular and tough to figure out. Some people cook chicken in an electric oven, others in a gas oven. How long do you cook chicken as opposed to how long I cook chicken? How much would gas or electricity cost where you live compared to where I live? Then I would have to get into the water costs for making Ka'Chava (did you use tap water, or filtered water? Did you buy the filtered water or do you have a filtration system at home? Did you refrigerated the water or just use room temperature water? If you refrigerated the water, how long was it in the refrigerator to get cold , and how much electricity did your refrigerator use to make the water cold? As you can see, it would have been a bit too much. 😃
@@FitnessFinance4u I still think the cost is pretty close... The powder + water vs. car ride for food (unless you walk, but time is money), cooking food as I mentioned... So the shake saves on time which in a way is a resource (you are paying for the convenience). But I do understand your point! After watcing several reviews and yours I'd go with the meal instead of the shake. I only eat once a day for health reasons, so having a real meal and spending time preparing it is worth it for me . Thanks for the review :)
YOU FORGOT TO INCLUDE IN THE COST OF A COOKED MEAL, THE ELECTRICITY USED....
You are right Dawn, I did not include that 👍
I've tried it. It was okay. I didn't finish the bag and it expired so I had to toss it. Too many carbs for me! If I ever bought it again I'd use one scoop and use as an occasional desert on my high calorie days.
I'm a math guy too, I liked your breakdown. Your meal looked great, although I woulda ate twice or three times as much (minus the rice)!
I watched the commercials, hopefully that gets you some $$!
The haircut is still rocking, dude! Keep up the great work.
Peace!
Thanks Steve. Appreciate you checking it out and hope it helped. It does take a bit to get used to as a meal replacement.
So I guess kachava isn't keto friendly 😕
I have tried using collagen, flax milk, almond butter, MCT oil, a bit of low carb sweetener and a quarter avocado. You can add vanilla extract or cacao powder. I'm a bit afraid when a product has so many ingredients.
You’d need two bags a month for 1 serving a day. 15 servings for $60 is pricey. Most products like this are 30 servings for $60. Did you end up sticking with it or no?
Cody...I ordered a couple more bags after doing my video, but I haven't ordered it in a while. I'm just cooking more "real food" and trying to avoid it. I might buy it from time to time for "emergency meal" situations
I think drinking that will probably make me eat more regular food
Not a bad side effect Lilly 🤣
It says right on the bag , "Do not use this product as a single source of nutrition"
Yep, I mention that in my "Warning" chapter @7:30.
Hi,
I am overweight and broke. Any advice? Just kidding. Thank you!
Ha! I was just going to say...eat less calories at each meal and you will lose weight! It's free!
You're content wasn't totally fair. You did not include the added savings from buying vitamins and supplements etc.
For instance I take Vit C, B and E. I also take magnesium and a probiotic everyday. Therefore, I think you should compare and consider those savings too!
Stephanie, you are not wrong. There are many other variables, on top of what you mentioned, that could have been taken into account when making this video. For example, a couple viewers said "what about energy to cook your meal? (gas or electric)", "what about time spent shopping for food?", etc.. In order to get those costs I would have had to figure out what the price of gas was in each particular state to figure what someone might spend driving to a grocery store. Also, after that person did do the shopping, were they then going to cook in the afternoon or evening and on a gas or electric stove (to figure out energy rates which I know are different during different times of the day). That would lead to a whole bunch of other questions. As you can see, the minutia would have driven me bananas. So I made some generalizations when making this video. Thanks for watching and I hope you got something out of it.
Solid food beats these powdery drinks every time
Darth, I agree. However, there are some days that I just can't get around to making a meal.
You didn't calculate the time you spent preparing the standard meal?? Time is money. Shake and go, priceless.You missed the whole point of Kachava. :^)
Good point Bad Dinosaur...
@@FitnessFinance4u Yah, and I miss spelled missed.
one scoop will give it 30 meals!!
9:37 I just laughed at all the Fancy Free Range / Organic Labeling . Can you really tell the difference especially when you cook those meals? Who's to say you're really benefitting from the Label in the long run? No matter how you look at it. Chicken and Vegetables will be the same effing thing in the end. If you're eating clean staying fit and seeing the results that you want, then it's all good in the long run.
JT, I do actually feel like I'm benefitting from eating organic in the long run. I didn't realize how many "not so great things" are in "non-organic" food. I know it's more expensive, but I feel it's worth it. However, if you don't want to go there, I get it. Just eating healthy, even if it's not organic, is much better than not eating healthy that's for sure! Thanks for watching my video!
i think he just gave ka’chava a “Doug Score”…
🤣🤣🤣
Love Doug ❤️🤣
So basically it’s a protein shake with a vitamin pack lol
🤣
@@FitnessFinance4u I’m still going to order one to give it a taste 🤷🏻♂️
Yea
That's why i never bothered. It's just a supplement.I prefer my multivitamins and protein shakes. I never treat them as meal replacements
Nice meticulous review.
Thanks YD!
I just can't see paying 70$ a bag lol
Yes...it's a bit pricey.
The Military replaces their food with stuff like this when in war so yeah it can be done 😁
👍
What is... palmitate in vitamin A?
Vitamin A palmitate is a form of vitamin A. It's found in animal products, such as liver, eggs, and cheese. It's also called preformed vitamin A and retinyl palmitate. Vitamin A palmitate is available as a manufactured supplement. MANUFACTURED SUPPLEMENT , NOT NATURAL AT ALL ..
Rozzie...thanks for the info
