I'd rather make my own!
The premise behind these beverages is great - a nutritional beverage for kids as a quick snack, or between meals. However, after reading the ingredient list, I had a number of concerns; although it has a lower sugar content versus other brands, there is still a significant amount of sugar in both the vanilla and chocolate shakes. Furthermore, there are a number of 'oils' such as sunflower, coconut, and rapeseed oils which do provide a rich source of fatty acids, although I wouldn't really want my children ingesting these in a nutritional beverage. The only added vegetables in the chocolate shake were pumpkin and carrot.
The taste was acceptable, but not particularly strong in chocolate flavour; the vegetable flavours are hidden well.
Overall, I see the benefits in having a 'healthy' beverage as a snack; however, in this case, I will pass. I would rather create my own nutritional smoothies/shakes at home with fresh fruits and vegetables, and yogurt/milk.
Convenient but at a price
I love the convenience of having this product. I threw it into my diaper bag for on the go snack for my child. It tastes great and is good for him.
I just wish the price point was much lower...
Chalky after taste
Ok, I like that it is non GMO and organic. But my kids didn’t like it. They didn’t like the taste so I wouldn’t buy this. I tried it and didn’t like the taste either. It has a chalky after taste.
Wish my picky child would drink this
I love everything about these shakes. It is made from organic whole milk, fruit and veggies and has 24 Non-GMO vitamins and minerals. Sounds great! Trying to get my seven year old to drink it is another whole issue. We bought vanilla and she drank it cold. She says it has a weird sweet aftertaste and I pretty much had to force her to finish it. My teenager on the other hand loved them and drank the rest! He thought they tasted much better than ensure. I think they are a bit too pricey but if I could get my picky seven year old to drink it, I would definitely purchase this again. #gotitfree in exchange for my honest review
Great for little picky eaters
These shakes are an organic nutrition shake for kids 1-10 yrs of age. They taste pretty good and meet large percentages of daily nutritional intake. They are premixed so portable. They are just under 3 dollars a shake, so maybe best for when a child is either very picky or your trying to add some nutrients in a tasty way.
