My wife has trouble tolerating solid food for medical reasons, and so she has a prescription for Kate Farm’s nutritional drinks.
They’re pretty much the best I’ve seen in terms of actual nutritional value, they’ve got little filler.
They are expensive as fuck though. It’s like $72 for a pack of 12. With that said they are really good quality.
And out of curiosity I’ve tried a little. The plain vanilla ones taste like froot loops milk IMO. I find it tolerable, my wife not so much. So we use them as a base for smoothies for her.
The smoothie recipe in case anyone is curious:
- Half a bottle of Kate Farms
- Ice to taste
- 3 tbls of brown sugar
- 1 tbls of chocolate ovaltine
It’s a fuck load of sugar. I’ve been trying to get her to accept less sugar in it with mixed success.

It's not clear whether you're replacing some or all of the sugar with an artificial sweetener or not. Some don't work for some people and some may be unsuitable for medical reasons, but there might be one or two that work.
FWIW, I've been putting saccharin in my tea for years now. Not dead yet.

It’s less replacing, more adding. Kate farms does have some sugar, but it isn’t the bulk of the drink like some of the lower quality ones I’ve seen around.
