Koia Plant-Based Protein Shake - Vanilla, 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

For medical reasons, I had to go vegan. On top of this, I also have celiac disease, which means no gluten. Then the addition of side effects from several medically necessary medications causing me nausea and other unpleasantness. This stuff here? Perfect thickness, no additional sugar, packed with nutrients, and a texture that doesn't make me gag. It's also DELICIOUS! I have one every morning, and an hour later I'm able to eat without gagging. I also have one before dinner, reducing my appetite and resulting in no heartburn when I go to bed a couple hours later (up at 5AM, in bed by 9PM). It would be nice if the containers were recyclable. I contacted my local recycling place and inquired about it. Big nope. I also asked my doctor and a nutritionist about these, and they gave the thumbs up. I haven't lost any significant amount of weight since I started drinking these about a month ago, but my body feels better, sleep has improved, and I have more energy through the day.Fun fact: standard cereals are high in carbs, which give a short burst of energy, but will leave you crashing later. You need a breakfast high in protein to get through to lunch without crashing a couple hours after breakfast. Lunch should be your largest meal, also high in protein, for energy and no crashing. Dinner is ideally the lightest meal. Going to bed with a full and heavy stomach is a great way to have horrible heartburn and terrible sleep. Snacking on low-carb foods between meals is also very healthy for you, according to the nutritionist I saw. You can have a high protein diet while vegan. These have more than 30% of the protein most people need per day. Two of these are around 70% of my personal protein needs.If it's in your budget, give these a go. If you don't like them, give them to someone else. Several stores also carry the individual plastic bottle versions in their refrigerated goods section, so grab one of each flavor and see which one you like best.Oh, and these also have a hefty amount of necessary fiber. If your bowels have been less than cooperative in one extreme or the other, fiber will help with that.

I tried this cause I saw a write up about this in Prevention magazine. They do taste good, and it does help me to feel less hungry in the mornings after my walk. I like that it doesnt require refrigeration till you open it. My first order was delivered by Amazon in the morning and the box sat in the sun all day till I got home. I put them in the fridge and they tasted just fine! I think I'll try the other flavors.

My kids and I love this!

I love these! Not too sweet, not chalky and delicious. Pricy but totally worth it!

But the banana chocolate is wwwaaayyy better!!!

Healthy Protein & fiber with great taste! Choose Any of Koia flavors that suits you! There are a variety of them! Satiates any hunger for quick snack or even enough for a light meal! Although, would like a variety of consistencies if this shake as well... A larger size would be welcomed! This shake is not chalky! I normally choose the vanilla flavor, it's scent is enticing! Demrink @ room temp, cold for the Summer months or warmed in a mug for colder seasons. The vanilla is a great choice since you can add & or blend in any other flavor you desire & make your own unique shake. "Bottoms up" with Koia

I really like these shakes and find this packaging convenient because they can be delivered when I am not home and don’t go bad immediately. They have a vanilla taste and a medium thickness.

I started drinking Koia again after an illness. I appreciate the product and how it supports my health. My issue is with the product I received today. The case is past the "best by" date. Today's date is 7/12/2026. The "best by" date is 7/7/2026. Amazon dismissed my request to return. Koia website states not to ingest 3 to 5 days past the "best by" date due to it being plant based. I would not recommend buying through Amazon. Buy it at Walmart.
