After more than a decade working in the wellness<\/a> world, I can tell you one thing for certain: Most wellness-related food tastes disgusting. Health may equal wealth, but it certainly does not mean delicious.<\/p>\n

So when my divinely chic (and also, quite ripped) coworker Mark Guiducci<\/a> asked if I had heard of Ka’chava Protein powder<\/a>, I\u2019ll confess: I rolled my eyes internally. Yes, I had heard of it\u2014advertisements for the brand had popped up during podcasts, which I skipped through\u2014but had I tried it? No. I wasn\u2019t even remotely interested. But it\u2019s funny how influencing literally works\u2026Guiducci, my own influencer in question, had spotted it in a cool friend\u2019s kitchen and had given it a try. So now, I was interested in trying.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always associated protein powders<\/a> with the toddler-sized black tubs of yore. Something both decidedly un-sexy and bulky, which I simply didn\u2019t have room for inside my New York-sized apartment. But Ka\u2019chava feels different: Starting with the pastel-colored flexi-bag packaging. Guiducci jokingly calls the duck egg blue, mint, and lilac-toned packaging \u201cpura vida branded,\u201d but that\u2019s exactly it. It\u2019s the quiet luxury-ification of protein powder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the actual powder itself. The five flavors (chocolate, vanilla, matcha, coconut acai, and chai) have almost hard to believe, work-smarter-not-harder claims. Protein!<\/a> Iron!<\/a> Electrolytes!<\/a> Vitamins E, C, and D!<\/a> Magnesium!<\/a> Two scoops are a veritable who\u2019s who of my supplement cabinet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Guiducci and I have his-and-hers approaches to working Ka\u2019chava protein powder into our daily routines. \u201cI like the chocolate or vanilla flavors very bare bones,\u201d he says. \u201cJust ice, water, and creatine powder. I go for three scoops to make it a bit richer. It\u2019s the perfect snack between lunch and dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

My scoops and flavor depend on my mood. Much like my coworker, I stick to the classic chocolate and vanilla flavors: Vanilla integrates well into overnight oats and smoothies, while chocolate tastes best on its own. And while I\u2019ve never gone as intense as three scoops, I usually find one heaping scoop or two in the morning boosts my energy for until lunch\u2014and most importantly, tastes good.<\/p>\n
