Amazing my toddler loves the vanilla one and gained weight

My son is very picky. He loves these just wish they were more affordable

I rarely write reviews but feel compelled to share our experience. Hopefully this helps someone who is on the fence about paying so much for something they are unsure whether their child will like or not. My 5 year old has been diagnosed with EoE and is not allowed to eat anything containing dairy, soy, eggs, wheat, nuts or seafood. He is very underweight and a ridiculously picky eater, even before he was placed on these restrictions. It’s hard for us to convince him to try new food or drinks, and he usually has one taste and gags or throws up. He hates 99% of all fruits, will not eat vegetables, and has literally been surviving on allergen free toast and hot dogs. Our doctor recommended we try Kate Farms at our last appointment. I was really hesitant because we’ve tried other allergen free drinks that we’ve found at Sprouts or Whole Foods and he didn’t like any of them. I cringe to spend so much money on food that gets thrown away after one taste. A week ago I finally decided to just spend the $46 for a case of 12 cartons (we call them “shakes,” which sounds a lot better to a 5 year old). I bribed him with a surprise toy if he would drink a whole “shake.” It took him about 30-45 minutes to drink the first one, but he didn’t gag or throw up - I tried it and it tasted better than anything I’ve found that he can have. A few more bribes later and he has decided that he will drink them on his own, chose a shake over toast for breakfast this morning, and even asked us to pack one in his lunch for school. I’m still terrified that he will decide one day that he is sick of them, but so far I am unbelievably relieved that he’s getting calories and organic nutrition in something he actually likes! 1/6/24 Update: My son is now almost 10 years old and still drinks these every day. He is still super picky, but eats a few more things than he used to. This is the most nutrition he gets out of anything and he usually has two a day. I know that these “shakes” have been the only thing keeping him healthy and I couldn’t be more grateful for this company.

Great supplement for my son who has a poor appetite due to his ADHD meds. I mix in Duocal & ice cream for added calories. Only problem was with the delivery. Driver left on driveway near garage. It may have been run over if I didnt notice the package laying there. Delivery instructions are to leave packages near front door on porch. The KF box within the Amazon package came open & some milk cartons fell out of the box. Fortunately none of the KF individual cartons had the drink spill out

Es leche es muy buena eso toma mi niñas porque no come bien esa leche le ayuda como alimeto

Actually tastes good! Like cereal milk! Specifically lucky charms

Happy with the ingredients and was recommended by my sons nutritionist. Received free sampler when nutritionist requested but needs to be done by a provider of some kind. Flavor isn’t great in my opinion but my son transitioned to it in just a couple days which is great for him. Expensive in my opinion but I also could find anything to compare to so over all am happy with product

I hope someone finds this helpful. I bought this after my family transitioned to a plant based lifestyle. My 21 month old before the transition was becoming a picky eater. He however loved loved loved the 'Once upon a farm' food pouches and smoothie drinks(all plant based). At first, I was like great at least he likes to eat these but I knew he needed something more so in my search for plant based supplemental nutrition i found Kate farms. Let me tell you, my son did not care for these at all. But like any determined parent, I figured out what works for him. At first I tried blending the Kate farms drink with frozen berries to make a smoothie. That kinda worked but he would only take a couple sips then was over it. I then thought, What if I mixed his favorite 'Once upon a farm's smoothie with 'Kate farms'? And et voila!! It worked!! All I did was mix 50/50. Half 'Kate farms' and half smoothie from 'once upon a farm' and he chugs it down all own his own. I did this for about 2 weeks and just last night he drank the 'Kate farms' formula all on it's own. So yes, it is chalky but with these few tweaks you can give your child the nutrition they need. Also, it helps if its chilled in the fridge.
