[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drink Kenco. They are not smoothie-like. More like a juice and they are actually very healthy. Most are a bit sweet from berries but nothing like a protein smoothie. And on that point they have no protein. It’s definitely a way to increase vitamin intake—not meal replacement. That said I love them and my skin is much better. [/quote]

Is it a 1 a day thing?[/quote]

You could have 1 or 2. It’s all sorts of unusual fruits and veg that I don’t eat that often. It’s freeze dried fruit and veggies so it’s kind of thick. I have one each afternoon. I eat veggies every day but only the same ones so this gives me much more variety and is was easier for me.

Again, it’s not a meal replacement. But I feel a huge difference.[/quote]

Could you add protein powder and fiber? Or could you put it in overnight oats, a yogurt bowl, chia pudding, or a cold soup?[/quote]

This is the quoted PP. Literally drinking one now. You could absolutely add one to a smoothie or add one of the savory ones to a soup. Last week their newsletter had a recipe for mixing one to make overnight oats b I haven’t tried it. Not sure about yogurt. Again it’s not exactly like a powder. You mix with water and shake for two minutes and the fruit/veg slightly reconstitutes/thickens. So I don’t know if the yogurt would have enough water for it to absorb. But maybe. You could certainly blend with a water and yogurt. [/quote]

Have you tried all the flavors? What is up with baobob?[/quote]

I've tried all the flavors. They all have a mix of things. I just looked at my stash and the baobab is in Amber which also has 
passion fruit 
banana 
dates 
apple 
baobab 
yellow beetroot 
chia seeds 
turmeric

To me it just tastes healthy--not sweet but not pungent. I don't sit and savor them. I just drink one each day mid-afternoon. And I have a second if I don't have a very nutrient dense dinner. My kids will drink some of them, but in general they don't like them. I sometimes add a shot glass size hit of fresh juice or for a few of them I sometimes use almond milk. The main difference I notice is my skin is better. I'm generally healthy but I'm not passionate about food so I mostly eat the same rotation of things day after day.
