Wellness upkeep can feel like a full-time job. One scroll through TikTok and suddenly I’m convinced my gut needs a total reset, my hormones are sabotaging me, and maybe that sea moss jar from Erewhon is the cure-all I’ve been missing. I was juggling vitamins like a chemist, hyper-fixating on my hair and skin, and googling “cortisol moon face” at 1 a.m. – all while telling myself this was self-care. Spoiler: it wasn’t. The more I added, the more out of control I felt.
So, I quit the 10-step wellness charade and went back to basics. I wanted to find one product that worked with my days, not against them. Something that could hit all the major marks (gut, energy, immunity) without me playing whack-a-mole with supplements. That’s when I was put onto Ka’Chava.
A Flavor Worth the Three-Year Wait
Ka’Chava has been cult-followed since its early days, and after trying it myself, I’m not surprised at all. I first heard about the brand from my roommate, who swore that Ka’Chava’s Chocolate Superblend Shake tasted like a brownie. And as someone who admittedly forgets to eat breakfast, I thought,“Chocolate for breakfast PLUS cravings fulfilled in under 10 mins? Say less.” I didn’t hesitate to try some. That same week, my roommate and I started splitting the bag.
While I credit their Ka’Chava’s Superblend Shakes for single-handedly reviving my busiest weeks, I’ve secretly been waiting for a fruity option. After three years, Ka’Chava finally delivered my taste buds’ deepest desire…Strawberry!
And before you roll your eyes at “just strawberry,” I’ll admit—it’s a classic flavor and nothing groundbreaking. But trust me, this is not your average strawberry protein powder. Ka’Chava’s Strawberry Superblend Shake is made with real freeze-dried organic strawberries that actually do the fruit justice. If I had to describe the flavor, it reminds me of Hailey Bieber’s Strawberry Glaze Smoothie at Erewhon (and yes, that’s now my second Erewhon reference – I swear I don’t go often).
Nothing Short of Berry Brilliant
What sets this blend apart isn’t just the taste but the nutrition profile behind it. This Supershake is packed with over 85 superfoods, nutrients and plant-based ingredients. Each two-scoop serving fuels me with 25g of plant-based protein, 6g of fiber, and 26 essential vitamins and minerals. And if that wasn’t already enough, it’s also packed with adaptogens, omega-3s, and probiotics.
Basically, it’s the kind of head-to-toe nutrition I used to chase across ten different bottles, now in one.
And if you’re like me and side-eye anything labeled a “superfood” or “miracle powder,” I’ll put it simply: the brain fog that usually hits after a round of morning emails? Gone. My energy? High, but steady. My digestion? Happier than it’s been in a while. After just a week of having it for breakfast (during my cycle, no less), I can honestly say – I’m excited to keep this going.
The taste is creamy and nostalgic – the kind of strawberry flavor that feels indulgent without tipping into overly sweet. It doesn’t have that bland, chalky protein-powder finish either. I’ve shaken it up with oat milk between meetings, blended it post-Pilates, and I’m already plotting to keep a batch in my popsicle molds for the next LA heatwave. It’s one of those rare wellness products that delivers on flavor while still feeling like the smart choice.
Ka’Chava already has a stacked lineup with Chocolate, Vanilla, Matcha, Chai, and Coconut Açaí, and now Strawberry’s in the mix. This week I pulled a little (probably not original) MacGyver move and mixed one scoop of Strawberry with one scoop of their Matcha Superblend Shake. As someone who craves a strawberry matcha whenever my energy dips, this combo was next-level. I had it post-gym around 8:30 a.m. and honestly debated making another for lunch because the taste was that good.
The Perfect Morning Blend
I follow the instructions on the back because it’s simple! I blend two scoops with 12 ounces of cold water (yes, only water – nothing fancy needed) and I’m done. No milk frothers, no extra powders, no blender-cleaning session at 7 a.m. It’s the easiest breakfast swap for mornings where making a full spread feels impossible, and it doubles as a post-gym grab if I leave a shaker chilling in the fridge. My favorite part is that it tastes indulgent but leaves me feeling light – I’ve even used it as a dessert swap when that late night sweet craving hits.
No Red 40? Yes Please.
Here’s the personal kicker: I’m allergic to Red 40. Which means despite loving strawberries as a fruit, I usually have to avoid anything “strawberry-flavored” – including the strawberry milkshake at In-N-Out (I’ve cried real tears over that one). So when I heard Ka’Chava’s Strawberry was made with real freeze-dried organic strawberries and zero artificial dyes, I felt a sigh of relief. For me, that’s the difference between skipping the flavor altogether and finally having a strawberry option I can actually enjoy. So, thank you Ka’Chava!
Nutrition Snapshot
Per serving (two scoops, mixed with water), Ka’Chava Strawberry delivers:
- 240 calories
- 7g fat (5g saturated, no trans fats)
- 24g total carbs (6g dietary fiber, 6g added sugars)
- 25g protein
- 413mg sodium
- Potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc at meaningful daily values
- Plus 26 essential vitamins and minerals (including Vitamin D, Vitamin C, B12, folate, and more)
It’s also non-GMO, vegan, soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, stevia-free, preservative-free, and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners – it’s literally made for everyone!
Why that matters for me personally:
- I’m Vitamin D deficient, and each serving has 5mcg (25% DV), which takes care of something my body actually struggles with.
- With 25g of protein, it’s a lifesaver for managing PCOS, where I focus heavily on protein balance in meals.
- Vitamin B12 (2.5mcg, 100% DV) means I don’t have to chase yet another supplement.
- And because it’s vegan and dairy-free, I get all of the creamy milkshake vibes without the dairy stomach aches that usually come with them.
Major kudos to Ka’Chava for delivering a shake that’s as kind to my stomach as it is to my skin – no whey bloat, no Red 40 breakouts. The Strawberry blend feels like proof that functional can actually be enjoyable, and it leaves me hoping more fruit flavors are on the horizon. With clean ingredients and monk fruit as the sweetener, it’s the rare wellness upgrade that feels like an easy yes.
