Ka'Chava Superfood Shake Giveaway!
When we were sent samples of Ka'Chava to try, we were skeptical. I had just jumped on the Vega train and was starting to feel like I was finally getting into the whole 'complete nutrition' via the added protein powder. Alex hates protein powders- he thinks they're chalky and gritty. And for the most part, he's totally right! When we mixed Ka'Chava into our morning smoothies the first morning, we were both impressed. It wasn't chalky, it wasn't gritty- it was thick, rich, and decadent tasting. It made our smoothie seem more like a milkshake (always a plus) than a smoothie, and made it enjoyable to drink. We went back for seconds.
But we weren't comparing apples to apples. Unlike Vega, and most companies really, Ka'Chava isn't just a protein powder. Sure, it carries a respectable 24 grams per serving, but Ka'Chava is really all about the superfoods. Made from plant-based whole foods like chia seeds, maca root, acai & maqui berries, camu camu, amaranth, & sacha inchi, this superfood shake powder is designed to sustain energy, control hunger, improve digestion, build lean muscle & help to enhance cognitive brain function. And if you ask me, thats a LOT of benefits from one serving of a delicious superfood shake! Plus, as you can see above, Ka'Chava is is 100% vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, & preservative-free!
So What's a 'superfood' anyway? And why is it good for me? To quote straight from the Ka'Chava website:
Superfoods are a special category of plant-based foods found in nature. They are unique in that they are nutrient dense and calorie light, meaning they are packed with a tremendous amount of nutrients compared to other foods in their "weight-class." Therefore, you get more of the essential nutrients your body needs without consuming unnecessary calories.
We love the Ka'Chava powder mixed with almond or coconut milk, but its also great in a smoothie. Our favorite way to drink it? Banana Date Smoothies! Here is our go-to recipe:
So how do you WIN? Simply enter up to 7 different ways using the widget below, and wait for our response- THAT'S IT! The winner will receive ONE FREE container of Ka'Cahava Superfood Shake containing 15+ servings. Thats a $70 value! And you get to choose your flavor preference- vanilla or chocolate. Good luck!! (Contest ends 8/30.)
Yup, we chose a winner!! Hannah G., check your email!

I use plant fusion vanilla bean protein powder in my morning smoothie. I love this one because it doesn't have chalky texture like many other vegan powders. It blends nicely. I would love to try ka'chava! I also tried Vega protein powder but I think I prefer plant fusion.

I've just recently jumped on the protein powder/meal replacement shake bandwagon with vegan shakeology. While I love it, it is way too expensive. This is the first one I have found that is even slightly comparable and half the price, very exciting!!

I could definitely use a pick-me-up shake in the mornings to get my day started!

I am trying to put on some healthy weight through exercise and whole foods, but I'd like to eat a more plant-based diet, so this would be the perfect supplement for me. Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm lactose intolerant and have cleaned up my diet significantly in recent years but just recently decided to made the transition to plant based protein powders. I just parted with close to $200 worth of delicious whey protein because I couldn't handle the stomach aches anymore. After closer inspection I also realized that my beloved protein powders were chalked full of artificial sweeteners and some other less recognizable ingredients. Its never a good sign when you don't recognize more than half of the ingredients on the label of the product you are consuming!

I'm in the process of starting a Vegan blog aimed at teens and would love to try out this product. As a Vegan of 5 months, I'm still getting the hang of plant-based nutrition.

So glad I found your blog through the VeganFoodChat! This stuff sounds great - 24g of protein? I too just jumped on the Vega bandwagon after using Sunwarrior and Plantfusion for years. I rely on a great protein powder and I'd love to try this!

As an amateur marathoner and college students I am always looking for the cheapest and best products to fuel my body. That is when I turned to veganism and have loved every minute of it. Superfoods are always a little out of reach for me financially being in college and all. But it is promotions like these that make it all worth it at least for those of us lucky enough to win! Good luck everyone!
