KATE FARMS Organic 1.0 Nutrition Shake, Plain, 16g Protein, 12 Pack | Organic sole-source nutrition shake with 16g protein and 27 vitamins and minerals.

When it's hard to eat, these are a good way to go. I don't care for the hidden MSG coming from the "natural flavors' so I went with the plain, thinking it may taste like chalk. I'm pleasantly surprised it actually tastes pretty good, even without adding any pure vanilla extract (I've not felt the need to add anything). Sorry I can't really describe the flavor but it's better than 'plain'.I prefer the less protein version such as this one.YES, I will buy these again and wish the Arizona hospitals would carry the plain in the cafeteria for patients to order. So many junky 'nutrition' shakes out there and these are the best I've found. Value is rather low but it's necessary so what are you gonna do?

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)VSOne 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.

Got this for my mother in law. She said they tasted good.

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.

My child lives this milk over the others formulas like the children's version of Kate Farms chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. Plain is his favorite. Tastes just like unsweetened Almond milk & 2% cow's milk.This is great for Autism children who are picky eaters, or have a texture issue with solid foods. This really helps fill in the nutrients gaps. My child's licensed dietician prescribed this actual product for my child since he doesn't eat much solid foods due to his Autism.
