kenckoReds Smoothie Mix Packets - 20 Instant Breakfast Smoothies Made of Nature’s Original Superfoods - Strawberry, Banana, Raspberry, Ginger & More - Organic Fruit & Veggie Healthy Smoothies

I made a test smoothie this morning. It was easy to mix and let sit for a minute. My kids and I didn't love that it has (very) small chunks, so we will try again using the blender instead of just a shaker; my texture adverse son did finish off the tester for us, though, so it's not extreme. I do not expect to like this personally, because I do not like raspberries, but my kids do, so I imagine these will serve for the emergency breakfast option I was targeting. I'm interested in using this to flavor yogurt, but not sure it can reconstitute in something that thick.

A little on the expensive side, but they’re still good. I’ve been drinking them every morning and they taste good.

The powder was hard and would not resolve.

Product okay doesn’t blend well

It's good. It's not great and it's very hard to mix. But it's okay I'm not sure that if I had the opportunity to buy that I would.

So these packs are very convenient. You can definitely make good tasting smoothies with these without having to blend all the fruit. Now it doesn't taste as fresh as blending fruit but this is for the convenience. You can simply pack these and use them as needed. The price is a bit high but you will spend more buying smoothies and have to go out of the way. Definitely give these a try.

Review of kencko Reds Smoothie Mix Packets - 8 Instant Breakfast Smoothies Made of Nature’s Original Superfoods - Strawberry, Banana, Raspberry, Ginger & More - Organic Fruit & Veggie Healthy Smoothies. These are extremely convenient freeze-dried smoothie packets. I chose to use water for mine to avoid additional calories. I also added some ice to help chill the drink. The pouch was a little hard to empty due to the small opening, I had to massage the powder quite a bit to get it all out. After mixing it up in my smoothie shaker, there remained some noticeable chunks that could not be broken down. I thought the taste was pretty good, although it was not very sweet and likely could have benefitted from adding a banana or yogurt to the mix.

First, the elephant in the room: Yes, these are pricey... but when you really think about it, they actually aren't. You would pay that much ($2-5) for a bar, and I feel like these are a lot more nutritious and less junk than a bar. They're also about the same or cheaper than buying a bottled smoothie, and definitely healthier than those! Also, they're MUCH more convenient than buying a smoothie as you can just toss them in your bag (with a blender bottle) and don't have to worry about spills or perishability. So if you get over the overall price and look at the price per each, it's not that bad. More expensive than making your own smoothie, for sure, but that's not what we're talking about here.Secondly, taste - these actually taste good! The ginger is a really nice touch. It really tastes like a "real" smoothie. Obviously, if you blend it with some kind of milk, it'll taste even better. The only problem is that it's not cold like a smoothie, which actually isn't a problem to me since I prefer not to have very cold drinks (for health reasons). But I can see other people not liking that so much.Anyway, bottom line is I wouldn't buy these for your everyday smoothie if you drink one every morning. You're better off making your own. But definitely buy a box and toss a few in your backpack for on-the-go.
