US plant-based meal shake brand Ka’Chava has unveiled its first new flavour in three years, strawberry, aiming to blend ‘nostalgic flavour with real nutrition’.

The shake is designed to offer a nutritionally complete meal solution in a familiar and ‘craveable’ flavour, reminiscent of childhood favourite strawberry milkshakes.

It is crafted with real freeze-dried organic strawberries and a blend of over 85 ‘superfoods,’ nutrients and plant-based ingredients including adaptogens, omega-3s and probiotics.

Functional mushrooms, such as reishi and cordyceps, are incorporated in this blend, as well as maca root, chicory root fibre, flax seeds and camu camu berries among other ingredients.

Each serving provides 25g of plant-based protein from a blend of yellow pea, organic sacha inchi, brown rice, organic amaranth, organic quinoa, oat milk and coconut milk.

It also includes 6g of fibre and 26 vitamins and minerals, designed to support energy, digestion, strength metabolism, cognition, immunity and overall wellness.

Strawberry joins the brand’s existing flavour line-up, which includes chocolate, vanilla, chai, coconut acai and matcha. Like all Ka’Chava offerings, the shake is 100% vegan, gluten-free and made without soya, artificial sweeteners or preservatives.

Louise Todd, president of Ka’Chava, commented: “We’re thrilled to launch our most requested flavour, strawberry… With strawberry joining our top-selling chocolate and vanilla, we’ve perfected the trio of classic flavours our customers love, offering a truly complete meal to help them feel their best.”

The shake is available at select US retailers as well as via Ka’Chava’s webshop and Amazon. It is priced at $69.95 per 930g pack containing 15 servings.
