Kencko receives praise for its incredible taste, convenient and compostable packaging, and diverse flavor options. It's appreciated for being a quick, easy, and healthy option for on-the-go nutrition. However, criticisms include the product being pricey and its change to a subscription-only service.

  • Eh ok. Not what expected. It doesn’t dissolve fully. And have sediment that gritty. Taste meh. Too expensive. Maybe it’s better in smoothies.

  • These are so cool! Smoothies get weird quickly, so you can't really make them ahead of time. These smoothie packets can go to the gym, the office, your carry-on on a flight, etc. and you can make them anytime/anywhere. They taste great and have fun flavor combinations. They sneak in hidden veggies as well! I tried them in a blender bottle with water, but I think they would taste even better with plant milk and ice in a blender if you have one. I used to buy frozen fruit for smoothies and they would get freezer burn before I remembered I had them. These packets will last a long time and you can put them on the counter where you'll remember them, if you have ADHD brain like me :) The branded bottle is cute, but I didn't purchase. One star off because shaking the mix in a blender bottle didn't thoroughly mix and left dry chunks. The branded bottle might work better. A bit pricey, but fresh smoothies cost much more.

  • Love these. A very quick way to have smoothies. They are all natural, the ingredients are all finely ground dried fruits. No sugar added, but the smooth still taste naturally sweet due to the fruits. I use milk with them.

  • Impressed with berry & veg. content, in powder form, with no added sugar. Mildly sweet. Completely portable, without mess. I blended a portion with almond milk & a few ice cubes. Created a refreshing sorbet, with a somewhat chalky texture. Great option without fresh or frozen fruit on-hand.

  • I love this product! It’s easy to use, tasty and versatile. I honestly make it with hot tea water, mix enough water to hydrate and use a small milk frothier to mix together, let sit for a bit, then I add ice to cool down to a smooth drink. Sometimes I will add Boba and make it into a water type drink. You can bake with it , add to cake mixes, add an extra egg and a tablespoon to two tablespoons of water. I store mine in the freezer for use when I want.

  • They are so quick and easy to make I love them and they taste so good!!

  • Taste was amazing! I would recommend shaking the powder for a lot longer than you think you need to. This will allow it to completely dissolve.

  • Yum!

    I really enjoyed this product. Different from other options on the market and I like the innovative nature. Also tastes delicious!

  • I bought this because I like smoothies but rarely have them because of the hassle of cleaning our blender. I like that this powder mixes into milk or water and makes an instant smoothie because it's extremely convenient with less to clean. The flavor is decent although not as good as making a smoothie with fresh fruit, of course. It's just a little bit naturally sweet which I like, it doesn't have any overwhelming sweetness. The texture is a little bit strange, like a bit lumpy, some of the powder seems to clump up and not mix in perfectly. Maybe I didn't shake it enough (I am using their branded cup), or maybe it's just supposed to have little pieces in it? Overall I'm pleased with the quality of the smoothie despite its small flaws given that it's made from a powder, and I think it makes a good convenient snack. I liked this flavor when I mixed it with oat milk.⁩ Less

  • I was hesitant to try these Kencko Instant Smoothie Mixes mainly because I didn’t want to spend the time trying to figure out how they would work and if they would blend up easily into the smooth consistency I like when drinking a smoothie. And honestly I also had my doubts as to how good the quality and taste of this smoothie would be. But, I was quite happy with the results!! The process was so easy using my traditional blender cup. All I had to do was add water or Mille along with the mix, give it a few shakes and wowlaa. The whole thing was done in about a minute and the end was result was a rich, creamy smoothie that tasted wonderful. I had the REDS flavor with strawberry, raspberry and banana and it was to die for! I will definitely be making more trips to my local Target to get more of these treats as the price is great for what you get and the warm temperatures are calling for more smoothies in my future!!

  • Kencko makes really clean ingredient, tasty smoothie packages. I opted for the blues and the reds. I put it in with protein powder, a little almond milk, water and ice cubes. Magnifique! I feel healthy and satisfied knowing each package has a full fruit serving! Only $10 for 4 packages? Now that's a real steal I can hang with!

  • Delicious instant smoothie and the flavor I tried was a combination of strawberry, raspberry and banana. It is vegan, gluten free, non-gmo and no artificial additives.

  • The kencko mixes were pretty good with good flavor especially on hot and humid days! I’m not a fan of the packaging since it’s easy to spill out the powder when opening the pack. It would of been better if the bottle went with the mix packs.

  • The smoothie packs come in individual serving units, which are convenient for quick use daily and easy to carry on the go. So far I have tried the green and blue flavor packs, and both are flavorful with good nutritional profile. My only pet peeve is the mixing part - the powders were already clumping when I tried to squeeze out of the plastic wrap, and remained in clumps while blending with plant-based milk. It took a lot of effort to blend by hand, so this might not be a good option unless one used an electric mixer.

  • I am not a big fan of smoothies. But this was different coming in this powdered form which makes it easier to carry.

  • The smoothies are ok wish they had more variety in the stores. Definitely taste better when made with ice and some type of milk

  • I bought the strawberry banana and the purples Kencko instant smoothie packets. Both are equally delicious. They are so simple to use (I did not buy their smoothies shake bottle and had no issues with using my own blender bottle). I added coconut water to both and within seconds I had a smoothie that tasted just like someone made it fresh for me. Highly recommend.

  • Love these. This is my new breakfast routine. I love that I can add zero sugar juice to it. Please just keep in mind you have to buy the bottle to shake it in and drink. Walmart has the green version too!
