• What's in the smoothies?

  kencko instant smoothies are made from real, organic fruits and vegetables, with nothing added and nothing taken out except the water. To make them, we flash freeze then slow dry fresh produce to capture its nutrients, fiber, color and flavor in a convenient powder. Each smoothie contains the fresh equivalent of 2.5 cups of fresh produce.

• How do I prepare kencko smoothies? Can I prepare kencko in advance?

  To make a delicious smoothie with your kencko smoothie packet, follow these steps:

  1. First, check our mixer suggestions on the packet - it will specify a quantity of water, milk, or both.

  2. Pour your preferred liquid (chilled water, plant-based, or dairy milk) into the bottle to the relevant fill line;

  3. Add the contents of one kencko smoothie packet to the bottle;

  4. Securely close the bottle and shake vigorously to ensure thorough mixing.

  If you don't have a bottle, you can use a glass instead:

  1. Add the powder to the glass first, then add just enough liquid to create a smooth paste;

  2. Slowly add the rest of the liquid while stirring continuously.

   

  And if you want to use a blender, you can get creative: simply throw in the powder and liquid along with any extras you fancy (try fresh or frozen fruit, ice, protein powder, yogurt etc.) and give it a quick blitz.

   

  Note: Different kencko flavors may work better with milk or water, so check the packet or mixer recommendations for guidance. For optimal freshness, enjoy your smoothie soon after preparation, preferably within an hour. Our smoothies are designed to be portable in powder form, and prepared when you’re ready for one.

  WARNING: For safety reasons, the kencko shaker bottle should NEVER be used with hot or carbonated liquids, or put in a microwave.

  Once mixed with liquid, kencko smoothies behave just like fresh fruit and will begin to oxidize and ferment in the bottle. This process is sped up in direct sunlight or in warmer temperatures. The pressure that builds with fermentation can lead to bottle breakage.

  It’s best to drink your kencko smoothie right away, but if you’re going to wait, be sure to store it in the fridge and drink it within 24 hours. Clean the bottle as soon as possible after use and never leave it lying around with leftover liquid inside.

• Are kencko smoothies meant to be meal replacements?

  Enjoy a kencko smoothie, anytime, to get around two and a half servings of fruits and vegetables (the recommended minimum is five servings a day). They can be a convenient breakfast option, but given that each packet contains only around 85 calories (plus the calories from your mixer, if it's a milk), you may want to treat it like a tasty, nutrition-packed supplement to another meal. We find most people drink their kencko either in the morning or as a quick and healthy pick-me-up later in the day. Everyone's nutritional needs are different, however, so kencko subscribers can consult with our in-house dietitian free of charge. When you start your membership, our nutrition team will reach out to you with information, should you want to take advantage of this offering!

• Is the provided kencko bottle dishwasher safe?

  Yes! The bottle - including all of its components - is dishwasher safe. For best results, we recommend rinsing it out shortly after you're done drinking your smoothie, before washing it on the top rack, and through a gentle cycle.
