Chocolate 1.0 Shake

I frequently have nausea, so sometimes it’s difficult to get actual food in. These shakes work well without adding to my nausea, and go down very easily! They are balanced and have a lot of vitamins. The texture is slightly chalky, but nothing terrible. It tastes a lot better cold, and the chalkiness went away when I mixed it with a few ounces of water.

I’ve struggled for years trying to find food that wouldn’t upset my digestion and seemingly endless nausea. Now that I’m on a GLP-1, the issue has become compounded and was making my life very hard trying to get proper nutrition I could actually tolerate. I tried protein powders of all kinds, protein drinks, other meal replacement drinks, etc. Finally, after a lot of research, I found Kate Farms. Yes, this shake has sugar, but I can’t stand the monk fruit taste of the various non sugar brands. The chocolate flavor is out of this world good!!! It’s not too thick and I can digest it really well. No gritty texture, just a smooth drink. Feels like I’m drinking a milk shake. I’ll be buying the chocolate again and trying the vanilla too!!!!

Came unharmed in excellent packaging - Expiration date a year from delivery - love the taste (chocolate is the only one I've tried) I warm it up and it is like a yummy hot chocolate. I have a very sensitive stomach but this is easy on my stomach and causes no problems. I have some issues with solid foods so this covers all the bases for nutrition - my internist recommended this product - a bit pricy but I'm happy to pay since it solves many of my needs.

Is a great product. The only thing I have to say that in the summer months, even in home cool air-conditioning and refrigerated, it is most likely hot summer months ship from various warehouses, but you have to be sure althougj it’s in your refrigerator, you may find it wonky the carton a little expanded or you cannot shake it easily, be sure to give it a quick sniff. It’s up to you even though it’s not dairy, when it happens like I said in the summer and when you unpack them, if you even notice expansion, you might want to shake it, sniff it, and you may have to toss it. It could be one bottle out of a pack. It could be none. say this because really respect the company and their product but that’s just something I became aware of last summer.

After a car accident left my husband with a broken neck, several fractured vertabrae and a couple of cracked ribs, he spent a month in the ICU at Yale and another month at a top rehab facility. Maintaining adequate caloric intake wearing a neck brace was difficult, especially in light of the fact that his diet has been 100% organic for decades (and he has a sensitive, discerning palate). He only stopped losing weight after the folks at Gaylord Rehab introduced him to Kate Farm's products, and now -- more than a year later -- Kate Farms products are a staple in our house (any flavor or formula, as long as it's chocolate). I agree that Kate Farms products ain't cheap, but these are meal replacement drinks, and when you compare the price of a Kate Farms nutrition drink/shake (or two) to what a meal would cost, they aren't unreasonably priced: One Kate Farms Standard 1.0 Chocolate (costs $3.33, 16 gr protein, 12 gr fat, 38 gr carbs, 325 calories and 260 MG SODIUM) VS One Big Mac (costs $3.99, 25 gr protein, 30 gr fat, 45 gr carbs, 550 calories and 1010 MG SODIUM). Except Kate Farms is healthier -- and the quality of the ingredients is out of this world. I mean it when I say that the Kate Farms drinks saved my husband's life. The Standard Chocolate 1.0 is excellent, and the Chocolate Nutrition Shake and the new Chocolate 1.4 are products that we absolutely have to keep on hand. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

The vanilla tastes like cereal milk (which I love) and the chocolate tastes like a chocolate shake. These drinks are tasty and filling.

I have been drinking these everyday for quite a while, and I really do like them. They are really a great meal replacement shake. They seem to be the healthiest and most nutritious ready-to-drink product that I've been able to find. They are dairy, soy, and gluten free. They are 100 % vegan and Non-GMO. They also have 18 grams of protein, which I think is great. I really do like the chocolate flavor. Kate Farms Komplete also make a vanilla and coffee flavor. I honestly don't really like the vanilla flavor and since I don't even like regular coffee, I'm asssuming I probably wouldn't like the coffee flavor either, but for me the chocolate flavor is great. When I first started drinking them a year or two ago, the texture was quite gritty, but they still had a good taste. A few months ago, they changed the formula a little, and now it has a smoother texture and not quite as gritty, and it still has the great taste. I hope that Amazon (and Amazon Sellers) continue to carry this product at a reasonable price. If so, I will definitely continue to buy it here.

Do not purchase this product from any company that does not ship it cold. This is a medical product requiring a Dr prescription: it is a very good product for people that have to have liquid meals and cannot eat solid food and other digestive problems’ I like the product but not the company that makes it. The last several cartons I received the box was opened and taped the drinks leaked out of,the sides under the rim’ I got very sick. If you start to drink one and it has bubbles do not drink it because air got in’ I never have that problem in the hospital’ the packaging is poorly sealed and cheaply made’ the drink itself is good but I’ve had too many problems. I tried to contact them directly but the money they want is the bottom line
