About Sierra Zagarri:
Hey! My name is Sierra Zagarri and I make videos about things I think might make my life easier, VLOGS, and generally just things going on in my life! I’ve been married since 2014, I have two small boys, and way too many animals!!
Thank you for your review, Sierra! Our smoothies are not designed to replace meals. However, we recommend using your choice of milk and adding a scoop of protein to make them more filling! Our products are made from freeze-dried organic plant foods and nothing else, and each smoothie provides you with the nutrition of 2.5 servings of organic fruits and veggies. We don't remove any nutrients or fiber. Therefore, some texture can be expected. They're designed to make it easier to get the amount of fruits and veggies you need each day! 🥦🍓🍊
If you mix them with juice they taste like Jamba Juice smoothies! They are straight dumpster fire with just water, but AMAZING with apple juice, pineapple juice, cranberry juice...any juice really. Taste good with teas too.
That’s a lot of sugar you’re consuming though
@@SE-gs6gd Well I could have thrown away $80 worth of a smoothie packets that tastes like a dumpster fire as mentioned in my initial comment. But I chose to not waste my money and put some fruit juice in there. I'm still getting all kinds of vitamins and minerals and natural energy that's included with the smoothie powder as well as with the Apple juice or whatever juice I decide to use for the day. I don't regret it.
I loved my first Reds smoothie. I mixed mine with vanilla silk and it’s delicious. I’m a savory girl so if it doesn’t taste good, it’s a no deal for me. I didn’t want to risk using water and plain milk seemed like it would be too bland, so I chose flavored milk. I also should mine vigorously for 2 minutes and let it rest for another 5 minutes. DELICIOUS ‼️ Certain smooth and no ingredients left behind in the shaker.
Thank you for this! - popped up on my FB page and since having my daughter, I have struggled with eating balanced. I ordered some... and then panicked. Your wonderfully honest review helped me understand what to anticipate with my first order, and how best to prepare! I expect some 'debris' lol
She said bears, beets, battler star galactica… and i subscribed.
😆 thank you
I actually just tried my first Kenko smoothie this morning. I've been looking forward to it, and I actually enjoyed it. I've been on a smoothie kick at my house lately, and I think that these smoothies will give me some variation and less sugar compared to what I've been doing. I'm planning on using them as a base for a blended smoothie. I used water today and tasted the green one by itself and it was okay. I'm expecting the green to be the worst tasting because it has like kale and spinach in there and not just fruits. But it needed a little sweetness to balance it out, so I threw it in the blender with a few chunks of frozen pineapple and peach, added chia seeds and collagen and it was delish! Definitely more smoothie consistency. I think I'll continue to do this for the rest unless I'm really in a hurry. But it's going to give me a lot of variation in my smoothies instead of all the same pretty sugary fruit ones I've been making! I also think the coconut milk from TJs will work really well in it! So I'm looking forward to these!
That’s awesome!!! I should have done that! For the review I was trying to just do the minimum. But I think if I get a sound round, I’ll get more fancy!
Mix it with almond milk and it's like a smoothie texture ;)
Appreciate the review. I was about to buy blindly but paused to check out reviews. I’m big on texture and non watery smoothies, so this helped me big time!
I love these smoothies. I use vanilla almond milk with all of them. Specifically the brand simply. Me and my husband are obsessed with them. They're delicious and definitely not watered down, especially if you use a vanilla milk.
Do you use the milk with the green packets also?? Thanks
Almond milk is water and sugar fool.
It needs some pepper it needs some salt it needs some Vodka. 😜 Girl I'm dying 🤣
That Expat Mom glad I could make you laugh 😆
😂😂😂
Love these! I add Joi plant milk to plain cold water, add the kencko stick. Sometimes I add PB2 and chia seeds
"Watered down beet water". Hilarious. 8 out of 10 reviews I've read/watched...most people hate it. Too bad. "Everything kinda smells like a farm". This lady is hella funny. Subbed.
Thank you for your honest review.
Thanks for being honest about how watered down it tasted! Blandness is an absolute dealbreaker for me and I luckily found your video right before my order arrived, so I knew to use less water from the get-go.
Turns out, it's only flavorful when you use at most HALF of the amount of water that the shaker bottle tells you to add. Once I figured that out, the flavors were surprisingly good. THAT SAID, this was in NO way filling and I suspect that it's because I am indeed using so much less water. That's quite revealing and very disappointing... because it means that what's mostly filling you up is the volume of water you're drinking rather than the fruit fiber product itself.
Thank you so much for the review!! 💕
Love the honesty.... and vodka suggestion! I think I’ll try them!
Also I want to point out that since this video I can see they upgraded bottles, packaging and looks like formula as well. If you didn't like it then, I would totally recommend trying it again.
Thanks for the great, entertaining video. I'm still not sure I want to push the "buy" button on this, but your video helped.
thanks for the review. can you post the link to the blog that you mentioned that has recommended additions to the smoothies? thanks again 😊
Thank you!!! Just added the links
Thank you for the review. I have been hitting pause on the impulse buy and read reviews first. Saving me money. My kid hates power texture.
So with the Reds it would have blended better if you put the water in first. But I love the honesty! Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the fall for us
Thank you very much for the video. I am literally at the check out and thought hmm maybe I should watch an honest review and now I know that this is not what I am looking for. You saved me a 100€
Lol me too!
Just got mine today and I will say they now have a mixer added to the bottle so they did blend smoothly I would say it's more like juicing than a smoothie though.
I just tried PURPLES and except for the "debris" around the top (which I pushed in with a straw and tried to stir up) the taste was amazing! I ordered a pack of 7 to try a few different ones and I'm not sure how I'll do with the less fruity more veggie options but thank you for your video because I was kinda scared to try it until I watched you!
Brittany Rusk thank you for watching!! I really want to try it again!
I figured out how to not get clumps -- pour in 5oz of water, then the mix, then the rest of the water! then shake
Good tip!!!! The extra shake must be the secret!
Purples is so good! Try with almond milk
I would like to see you try again with milk. I just watched a video (it was not done really well) and the person used milk. Her description was that it was like a smoothie. But I am glad to hear you didn't mind the flavors of these. I think I will try them myself. I know I don't get nearly enough fruits and veggies in y diet. Thank you for this review. Hope your new business is doing well!
Be you. Be beautiful. Thank you!!! I wish I found that blog sooner! The additives and the milk might have made theme better. I didn’t hate these though! We all could use more fruits and veggies in our diets!!
You're not supposed to put the powder in first-- that's the texture/debris problem. Also I LOVE your hair.
DEFINITELY need additives! I make all mine with oatmilk and add a touch to real vanilla extract and stevia. And blending them in my Nutribullet is a MUST to eliminate texture! They’re yummy, then!
“Beets bears battlestar galactica” 😂 I have some coming in a week since I’m constantly on the go and lack proper nutrition 😅 Going to try with almond milk~
This is perfect for that. Extra veggies and fruits
These are not meal replacement. They are to add so you get the 5 servings of fruit and veggies.
I am on my third box of 20.
Yep! I came to the same conclusion 😀
You weren't meant to "come to the conclusion". They say this openly both in their website and Twitter.
@@AlejandraStamato she was being friendly, trying to say that she understands. You don’t need to be so fucking nasty and rude
@@taydatz dam girly calm down lol
@@lana-3770 I’m good
I love the kencko shakes but loved your video
I have been drinking these for about a week and just started mixing them in a shaker/blender bottle instead of the bottle provided. It really helps to break up the powder and made the texture MUCH better.
I also always use about 8oz. Almond milk and 4 oz. water, only flavor I haven't liked so far is mocha which I thought would have been my favorite.
Does this help with weight loss?
I enjoy your review
Are you from the midwest? You sound exactly like my cousin
Your face when you tried it the first time has me rolling. Like Kelly Bundy in the waist away diet. Lol
James Clark 😂
@@SierraZagarri "ugh, oh, yum... Tastes like salmon" lol
I mix mine with water and just a little bit of apple juice to take away the bland flavor and it is great (i have a lot of GI issues and cannot do dairy).
This video is incredible
Thank you so much!
Try freezing them
Thank you for this!
Thank you! I subscribed to this for 2 months and I couldn't make myself continue anymore, health benefits be damned. i tried it with lukewarm water, cold water, milk, flavoured milk - it all tasted terrible. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who felt this way - cancelled my subscription!
Oh my goodness you're freakin hilarious. I so look forward to your videos because I never know what you're going to say. I think these should be used more as a vitamin boost but not as a meal replacement.
Babyface thank you! And I agree, a great addition to your day, not a whole meal!
I just tried my first smoothie with almond milk and it was delicious 😊
Finally someone that tried it with almond milk ☺️. I’m def going to try it now. 🤣
Im so lost- is it a juice or a smoothie?
Can i have the pop it that looks like a flower and it's rainbow ?
For sure NOT a tasty meal replacement! I take them almost like supplements, I drink it in one go! What's important to me is the fibre content. I eat fruits and veggies but you need a big variety of different fibres to keep your gut flora thriving. A thriving gut flora is good for... everything! from fighting disease, to weight loss, skin, mental health, everything. But it's a very expensive supplement tbh because it is on top of good meals so it doesn't save you any money. For a great meal replacement with fibres and different fruits and veggies my go-to is Alpha Foods. The combination of the two, plus healthy food and exercise helped me be more focused, lose weight, stabilised my mood and more.
Thank you for honestly! I do not like blend foods and therefore I’ll try KACHAVA instead of these guys, so thank you!
Did you let it sit 15 seconds like you said in the instructions?
Yep!
Moms just want a good poop 😂
ANNNDDD.......subscribing lol!
Its not a meal replacement btw
Subbed 7 mins in!!
Would be great if some one made video making them with portable blender
Awesome
I love how you start the video with a margarita instead of the smoothie lol
I've heard it's not supposed to be a meal replacement so you're not supposed to actually feel full from drinking one of these. It's simply an easier way to get fruits and vegetables in your diet.
Hi!
I am about To received my first box!! Kind of excited to try this out, Busy! Mom as well!! 💪🏻 I love Subscriptions!! Hopefully I like it!!! Thank God for options to cancel subscriptions🙌🏻 have a great day, looking forward to your next review!
Loved the everyday! Taste reviews! Ha! I am going to love the BM! All about the fiber!! Dilute it is fine👍🏻😉 smelling like a farm is good so it’s plant-based definitely!! 🙌🏻 absolutely love the updates on the BM! Cannot wait to receive my goodies!! Again thank you so much for the wonderful review!! Will be great to see all our tips!! I will go check out your Instagram👍🏻
Let me know what you think of the smoothies!!!
Sierra Zagarri I’ll go check out your IG definitely can’t wait!
How is the bloating with this product? I don't really care about the taste, I can tweak that! Thanks for the review!
Try it with half oj and water with them. It makes it taste better
THE OFFICE!!! Beets, Bears, Battlestar Galactica! Lol
😂
Hi I was just watching your five and I love you so much and I’m also a fidget a collector and I love you you’re like my man fidget person
🥰🥰🥰
Try almond milk. Also try putting the water in first.
I drink them all with water and love them. Only one I wouldn’t drink daily is the turmeric and that’s just because I have a love hate relationship with it but I still drink it because it’s good for you lol
They're still pretty bland. But they're also not supposed to be meal replacements, but nutrient boosters for people like myself who struggles to get my 5 servings a day. I just drink 1 or 2 a day and boom, good to go.
Haven’t tried mine yet!! I’m wary
My friend got me this as a birthday present because I really wanted to try it.... and it was awful! Really watery, extremely gritty, and none of the flavors tasted good. Even with almond milk it didn't even taste like a smoothie. I was very disappointing, especially because the cost of the "smoothie" is the same cost of a smoothie I could get at Whole Foods or if I made it at home.
I thought maybe I got a "bad batch" because of the terrible texture, but I guess that it just doesn't taste very good.
Toni Airaksinen I am currently trying a new smoothie box right now too. I’ll let you know how that one goes 🤣. I don’t seem to have much luck though!! I’m so sorry this didn’t work out for you though. I hope you still had a great birthday 🎂
If you mix them with juice they taste like Jamba Juice smoothies. They are straight dumpster fire with water, but amazing with apple juice, pineapple juice, cranberry juice...any juice really. Taste good with teas too.
Why didn’t you use Almond milk or soy
Use milk och oat instead of water. So much better
I'm just curious.. watching reviews I thought you fill with liquid to the line and then add the powder. But I noticed you put the powder in first and the fill to the line. Maybe if you put the powder in last it won't be as textured?.or is it supposed to be that way?
Liquid first
@@woodlegalgroupllp That's what I thought. That might be the reason for the texture issue if your putting powder in first and then adding liquid to the line. Not enough liquid.
@@woodlegalgroupllp It doesn't take away the gritty texture though... it's still really gritty
I noticed how great your face looked after using the drink for a coupe of days! that's inspiring
Yes!!! This did seem to help clear it up a bit
First off..these drinks are for healing ones body...not as a 10star drink if they taste watered down then add 2 packets to 24 oz and they taste delish
As for the recommended dose ..it's doing its job what it is intended for. So the nutrients are there ..quit all your grinding. What a sad sad sad life!
Wow $7 / smoothie. I pay €1.33 / smoothie. Buy the 3 for 2, cancel after the 3rd box and start afresh. Fill up to the line at most. You don't have to fill all the way if you want a thicker constituency. Yeh, screw the stickers, they go straight in the bin. Liquid in first. RTFM lol. They have newer bottles that mix a lot better.
I like your TikTok vids
Wish I had seen this before buying the biggest 3-for-1 promo deal. (30 smoothies) 🙈 NOW I HAVE LIKE 20 SMOOTHIES LEFT THAT JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE TO DRINK... thankfully I got a partial refund so I'm not getting any more smoothies the next 2 months 🙈🙈 The Purples and Peaches are the only kinda good ones.
Ditto. I decided to look up reviews AFTER my receiving my shipping confirm. Lol. How did you like them?
@@kristinoconnor1885 They have actually grown on me. I left them sit for a while, and I ended up thinking "oh well, I can't let them go to waste" and stopped following the instructions, and just mixed them all with oat milk instead of cows milk or water. Now they are actually okay. Not as good as a smoothie, but I'm not gagging anymore ahaha
@@TheKisshu1997 just added sweetened almond milk- SO much better than water!!!!
@@kristinoconnor1885 So true! They should stop recomending water haha. Doesn't do the smoothies any good.. :P
Hmm maybe try using less water than the suggested serving since it tastes water down.
that still doesn't solve the issue (imo) of the sheer grittyness of the drinks
^^in fact using less water made the grittyness work imo
@@ToniAiraksinen oh wow. If it was me then I would use a strainer to filter out that gritty texture. But shouldn’t even have to since it’s the product itself.
@@Drayden808 LOL I didn't have anything to strain it out! I don't cook haha
@@ToniAiraksinen well thanks for your review I was debating on buying them but I also do not like texture in my smoothie.
Hi I'm from tiktok😁😁😁😁😁
Yay!!! Hello 👋
I just ordered these and I thought that 3/4 of them were excellent. A few of them just didn't taste that good. I tried Daily Harvest and they were disgusting. So I was really pleased with these. But they are only a few calories, so it's more of a fiber supplement than a meal. It is a lot of sugar, but fruit always is. I'd recommend them to people; but not if you want a meal. $7 a smoothie is insane. Whatever package I got was less than $3 a smoothie. I think the "compostable" packaging is a bit of a scam though. It's "industrial compostable". Who has access to those facilities?
Soooo I’m being targeted lol!!! So I came straight to TH-cam. I think the idea of it is good, but I’m looking for a meal replacement, I can drink on the go.
Thanks for this review! It definitely helped
I’m also reviewing another smoothie company right now! I’ll be posting that one on Tuesday!! Thank you so much for watching 😊😊
@@SierraZagarri ok, awesome!!!
I take some great morning meal replacements! Send me a message if you want! ☺️
@@DiAnAgOnZaLeZCiRcO what is the name of them?
People who Can't follow directions have no business posting reviews!! You even READ IT, then turn around and ignore the instructions
TO LET SIT AND SHAKE AGAIN! This reduces the grittiness and improves the flavor.
Hi I’m from the live
😊
You would assume it was bland because they don't add any shit to it lol
you should have used ice makes much better
It just seems like a food-based "Multivitamin" that you can drink. I wouldn't expect a smoothie experience from this at all.
Can you say hi?!🥺❤️
Owen
Use it as a base in an actual smoothie that you would add ice, yogurt, etc.
Then why are they advertising a product without presenting it as a "smoothie" base? Total waste of money.
You kept saying you'll try it with milk and never did...
Hahaha yep... mom life. I got left with the water ones and wasn’t able to
It’s important to note that kencko smoothies are not a meal replacement.
Well then they should not say "breakfast smoothies for busy people" on their website.
@@stevenp8237 i mean they say "for busy people". Its better to have at least this, than absolutely nothing
@@stevenp8237 nothing in that says its a meal replacement or indicates that unless your dense in the head.
Hiiiii
Hi I love you kids they are cute
7 bucks for a drink wtf
I’m not even a mother “yet” but this woke me Lol
It’s a smoothie you’re supposed to use milk
Everyone loves a good BM lol
Amber Bueno yep!!! Makes the day a whole lot better 😉
7 USD per smoothie 😂😂😂
Background noise is distracting and interferes with you vid.
Theyre very expensive 60 for 20 packages. Yeah yeah its organic blah blah blah. But really its overpeiced and taste blah.....
Much show and little content. A completely misrepresentation of the product and the meaning. This is not a substitute for a meal, but a drink to take in compressed nutrients and vitamins. If you don't know what the product is good for, you should skip derogatory shows. As is so often the case, it is more important for the owner of a TH-cam channel to focus on himself/herself than on the topic
A teacher who doesn't know how to spell debris. That pretty much sums up the America education system.
Kat I’m not a teacher, I’m a business owner and I was diagnosed with dyslexia in middle school, but thank you for watching and commenting for the algorithm 😊
Also it’s ‘the AMERICAN education system’ 😀
Sierra Zagarri woah you really got me there
@@SierraZagarri GOOD ONE! Serves her right for trying to shade you. LOL
