If you find that a 40g serving isn't enough to satisfy your appetite, increase the portion size to 50g.

Ka’chava vs Purition (US) Be aware that each flavour has slightly different nutritional profile, thus I recommend you looking at the nutrition sheet for the exact values. The variation is mostly in the sugar content, some having lower than 2g per serving. Also, while the price is displayed for 400kcal, each recommended serving is only around 180-200kcal.Ingredients (Original): Whey Protein Isolate MILK, Golden linseed (flax), Sunflower Kernels, Orange (freeze dried) (6%), ALMONDS, Coconut (sulfate free), Chia Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, SESAME Seeds, Cocoa (4%), Nutritional Yeast (B-vits), Psyllium Husk (fibre), Apple Pectin (fibre), Steviol Glycosides (Stevia). This is something we’ve seen before with Ka’Chava, a high-quality meal replacement that is a little too low in calories and the price per serving is quite high. Purition is better value for money than Ka’Chava, but not by much. Ingredients in Purition
