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.
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.
