Read on to learn about 310 Nutrition shakes, their nutrient profile, ingredients, price, and more. This information is intended to help you evaluate which meal replacement shake is right for you!

310 Shake Taste

According to its customers, the previous formulation for 310 Nutrition was already pretty good. But, with their new organic, vegan formula, they’ve really stepped up their game in the meal replacement shake world.

310 Nutrition shakes are known for their superior taste, versatility to use in a variety of recipes, and creaminess. Unlike some other vegan shakes, they aren’t gritty or have a strange aftertaste! Plant-based doesn’t have to sound like a scary term when you have a tasty shake on your side. 

Here are some of the fan reviews raving about 310 Nutrition: [1]

• “Just when you think 310 Nutrition couldn’t possibly make their already delicious shakes any better, then they go make this new formula and knock it out the park! It’s so delicious and creamy! [My husband and I] LOVE IT! The Vanilla is amazing, y’all!” – Maria
• “Love the flavor and it goes great with so many things, veggies, fruit, or Cacao are all great. it fills me up as well. I am 2 weeks in and love the ease and the taste! My teenager loves it too!” – Michelle H
• “Very good. Not gritty at all like some other vegan shakes I’ve had. It doesn’t leave any weird aftertaste in your mouth. I actually look forward to drinking it!” – Melissa B
• “I love how versatile you can make this shake add any flavor of fruits for the perfect smoothies.” – Kim L

Overall, one of the reasons why this shake is rated #1 is for its incredible taste.

310 Shake Flavors

310 Nutrition shakes come in many delicious, sweet flavors that are all carefully crafted to perfection:

• Mocha

• Toasted Coconut

• Chocolate Mint

• Chocolate

• Vanilla

• Salted Caramel

Based on the online reviews, most people seem to choose chocolate or vanilla, but the other flavors are also rising in popularity.

Additionally, they also offer an unflavored meal replacement shake powder, which is great for dessert recipes and smoothies! Some meal replacement shakes don’t mix well with fruits in a blended smoothie, so an unflavored option is a godsend for those of us who love fruit and green smoothies.

310 Shake Nutrition Facts

Here’s the nutrition label for a 310 Organic Vanilla Shake. We’ll be using this as the basis for the nutrient analysis to follow!

Calories

One scoop of 310 Organic shake contains 110 calories. This means that this is a low-calorie meal with lots of wiggle room to add other foods like almond milk or fruits and greens without exceeding your calorie goals!

Calories come from three macronutrients called fat, carbs, and protein, which we’ll discuss in more detail shortly. Although we all need calories for our bodies to perform essential functions, those looking for sustainable lifestyle changes often look to cut calories, especially from added sugars and empty calories in meals. This is where having one or two healthy meal replacement shakes can help contribute to a balanced diet!

Your calorie needs vary depending on age, gender, height, activity level, and genetics, to name a few. Speak with your physician or a registered dietitian for more guidance on your personalized needs!

Fat

Each 310 Organic nutrition shake contains 2 grams of total fat, of which 1 gram is saturated fat. Based on a 2,000-calorie diet, this consists of 2% of the recommended daily value. This means that although this shake isn’t labeled as a low-fat or non-fat food, it’s low in fat content.

So, let’s talk about saturated fats: they’re are often dismissed as being unhealthy for our arteries since they can raise our “bad cholesterol” known as LDL.

However, it’s important to note that the saturated fats in this shake come from coconut oil (in the coconut creamer). Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that may help support weight loss and metabolism – our bodies use these fats very efficiently! [2] The coconut content also helps add a creamy, smooth taste to these shakes, which we can’t complain about. 

Following a keto diet and worried that this shake is too low in fat? These shakes can be adjusted to be more keto-friendly — you can add extra coconut oil or MCT oil to your shakes for added fat content. 

Total Carbohydrates (Carbs), Sugar & Sweeteners

Total Carbohydrates

Each 310 Organic meal replacement shake contains 7 grams of total carbs.

This makes it a pretty low-carb food overall. One “choice” or “serving” of carbs according to the American Diabetes Association is typically considered 15 grams, so you can think of one meal replacement shake as half a serving of carbs. [3]

Although there is no medical definition of “net carbs”, keto dieters often look to this number as a guideline of how many carbs actually impact their blood sugars. These shakes contain a total of 2 grams of net carbs (7 grams total minus 5 grams of dietary fiber), so they can fit into some of the strictest diets for hardcore health enthusiasts.

Dietary Fiber

Out of the total carbs in a 310 Organic nutrition shake, 5 grams come from dietary fiber. For context, the average woman needs 25 grams per day and the average man requires 37 grams per day according to the USDA Dietary Guidelines. [4] This means that drinking one to two of these shakes alongside some fiber-rich fruits and vegetables can help you reach your daily fiber goals!

Sources of dietary fiber in Ka’Chava include soluble fiber from organic soluble tapioca fiber, acacia gum, guar gum, xanthan gum, and likely some insoluble fiber from the superfood veggies included, such as alfalfa, apple, beetroot, broccoli, and more. 

• Soluble fiber forms a gel alongside any food that you eat, thus slowing down your digestion to keep your blood sugars controlled and to support satiety.  [cite]

• Although likely minimal, most veggies contain insoluble fiber. Some of the “superfoods” content may contribute insoluble fiber. This is the type of fiber that is undigested and helps make your stool softer and heavier.

If you’re looking to improve your digestion, have more regular bowel movements, or feel fuller after meals, the fiber from these shakes can help. Some meal replacement shakes hardly contain any fiber content, which can result in constipation, so evaluate the fiber content closely before you try them!

Added Sugars 

310 Organic meal replacement shakes contain 0 grams of added sugar. Unlike other popular shakes that are loaded with added sugars, this is a huge plus for 310 Nutrition shakes. The USDA Dietary Guidelines suggest keeping added sugars to less than 10 percent of your daily calorie intake. [4] 

The sweetness from these shakes comes from their wholesome ingredients as well as natural, plant-based sweeteners.

Natural & Traditional Sweeteners

There are no traditional/artificial sweeteners like sucralose in 310 Nutrition shakes.

The natural sweeteners in 310 Organic meal replacement shakes include:

• Stevia
• Monk fruit extract

Stevia is a natural sweetener that comes from a South American plant. It contains no calories and no carbs, so it can help sweeten foods without raising your blood sugars and insulin

The United States Food and Drug Administration gives stevia a “no objection rating.” [5] However, its safety over the long term is still not known and whole stevia leaves are still banned for use in the US. Additionally, depending on the extract used, some strains can have a bitter aftertaste. It’s not as noticeable in small amounts, but it’s something to be mindful of. 

310 Nutrition also uses monk fruit extract, which is also a natural sweetener and comes from Asia. It’s “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” by the FDA. [6] Again, more long-term safety studies are needed to fully understand and evaluate monk fruit extract. In large quantities, it is reported to have a strong, sweet flavor compared to other sweeteners. Although sweetness is subjective, these shakes seem to have just the right amount where it doesn’t get to be overpowering in sweetness.

Protein

There are 15 grams of protein in each 310 Nutrition shake. This makes it a great source of protein for a meal replacement shake.

The sources of protein are plant-based: pumpkin, pea, and brown rice protein. Rather than popular soy or whey protein, the sources in this shake are vegan and come from plants. Plant proteins on their own are incomplete in terms of their amino acid profile, but when combined from multiple sources, you can consume all essential amino acids. 

Protein helps you build and retain lean body mass and muscle. So, whether you’re looking to lose a couple pounds without losing muscle or want to get support with getting leaner from your workouts, adding protein can be a great option.

It’s hard to get adequate protein from a vegetarian or vegan diet, so these shakes are perfect for incorporating into plant-powered diets!

Vitamins and Minerals

Since these meal replacement shakes are supplements, the FDA does not require nutrition facts to be on the label. However, 310 Nutrition does disclose its main vitamins:

• • Vitamin D: 0 mcg (0%)
  • Calcium: 54 mg (4%) – supports healthy bones and other body functions 
  • Iron: 5 mg (28%) – supports red blood cell production
  • Potassium: 0 mg (0%)

Although we didn’t see a full list of vitamins and minerals listed on the label, the 310 Nutrition website states that each shake contains “20 essential vitamins and minerals to give you the invaluable nutrients you need.” [7] 

We’re not sure if that only applies to the old formulation or to this one, but presumably, given the superfoods in this shake, the vitamin and mineral profile would be comparable! 

310 Shake Ingredients

There are many ingredients in 310 Organic meal replacement shakes. 

Overall, most of the ingredients are pretty nutrient-dense – aside from the ‘organic flavors’ that aren’t identified and the non-GMO powder that’s likely added for texture and viscosity. 

Here’s the full list for your reference [1]:

• • 310 Tri-Plex Blend™ (Organic Pea Protein Isolate, Organic Brown Rice Protein Concentrate, Organic Pumpkin Protein)
  • 310 Organic Fiber Superfood Blend (FiberSMART® Organic Soluble Tapioca Fiber, Organic Alfalfa Powder, Organic Apple Powder, Organic Beet Root Powder, Organic Broccoli Powder, Organic Chaga Mushroom Powder, Organic Chlorella Powder, Organic Ginger Root, Organic Spinach Powder, Organic Spirulina Powder, and Organic Turmeric Powder)
  • Organic Coconut Creamer (Organic coconut oil, organic rice syrup solids, organic pea protein, contains 2% or less of each of the following: sodium citrate, tricalcium phosphate, organic sunflower lecithin.)

• • Organic Flavors
    • Non-GMO Ticaloid® Ultrasmooth Powder (Guar Gum, Gum Acacia, and Xantham Gum)

• • Himalayan Pink Salt
  • Stevia
  • Monk Fruit Extract

310 Nutrition has recently changed their formulation, so this new ingredient list is quite the improvement. This new blend includes plant protein, greens, coconut creamer, and natural, plant-based sweeteners to provide the same creamy texture and offer superior taste and nutrient quality.

One change from the past formula that was disappointing to see was the removal of probiotics. The past formula contained 1 billion CFUs of Lactobacillus Acidophilus, whereas the new formula has no probiotics, prebiotics, or postbiotics to support digestion. 

310 Shake Allergens and Warnings

Each 310 meal replacement shake contains tree nuts (coconut) given its coconut creamer ingredient. It is also manufactured in a plant that processes milk, soy, peanut, tree nut, wheat, egg, fish, and shellfish ingredients.

Pregnant or nursing mothers or individuals with medical conditions should check with their physician before consuming this shake or starting any supplementation or diet routine.

Now that you’ve understood 310 shake’s nutrient profile, let’s review some of the key health and marketing claims, its price, and how to start incorporating it into your diet if it’s a good fit!

310 Shake Key Health and Marketing Claims 

• “100% Vegan”

This claim is true, although we can’t be sure what the organic flavors are derived from. Although this product is not certified through a certification authority, all ingredients seem to be plant-based. A vegan product means that it contains no animal products. 

• “Organic”

This claim is true as well — all ingredients in the 310 Nutrition shake do seem to be organic. 

However, it’s missing a USDA organic certification seal on the label, which would mean that at least 95 percent of the products and ingredients are certified organic. [8]

Also, note that whether an ingredient or product is organic doesn’t affect the nutrient profile; it’s a personal preference for those who choose products that are made without pesticides. 

• “Keto & Paleo Friendly”

Keto and paleo diets are all the rage! Although these diets have consistently been ranked on the list of diets, many individuals do look for this claim on meal replacement shakes.  

These shakes already include some saturated fat from coconut oil in the creamer ingredient. Additionally, you can add MCT oil or coconut oil to these shakes to “keto” it up.

• “Gluten-free”

This claim is also true! Gluten is a wheat protein that is found in grains and wheat-based products, which are not in this meal replacement shake. If you have celiac disease or have gluten sensitivity, you can still drink this shake.

However, note that plenty of healthy foods like whole grains do contain gluten – it’s not inherently bad. It’s a personal choice depending on your allergies, lifestyle, nutrition needs, among other factors.

• “Soy-free”

Since the protein in this meal replacement shake comes from brown rice, peas, and pumpkin, there is no soy.

Similar to organic and gluten-free, being soy-free doesn’t necessarily make food healthy. However, in the case of 310 Organic nutrition shakes, they’re definitely rich in nutrients and also happen to be soy-free!

However, note that 310 Nutrition operates in a facility that also processes soy if you have an allergy to soy products altogether.

310 Shake Price

Each bag of 310 Organic is $68, which equates to $2.43 per serving. There are 28 servings in each 28.6-ounce pouch. There is also an option for a smaller, 14-serving pouch, but the cost per serving will be higher.

This is a reasonable price for a meal replacement shake, especially looking at some of our top-rated shakes on the website. 

Additionally, 310 Nutrition offers a subscribe and save option that helps bring down the cost. According to the current subscription offer, the benefits include:

• 25% off your order
• Free gifts with some orders
• You can adjust your order anytime – modify, skip, or cancel altogether without any charges

If you don’t want to commit to a full bag yet or perhaps want to experiment with flavors, 310 Nutrition offers a Starter Kit ($9) and Premium Kit ($49) that also comes with organic shakes, lemonade, greens, tea, and a shaker cup.

Ways to Enjoy 310 Nutrition Shakes

Whether you need a quick replacement shake on the go, need some post-workout fuel, or want to make your at-home options healthier, there are many ways you can incorporate 310 Nutrition shakes into your diet:

• The most standard and popular way to enjoy them is to add 1 scoop to water and/or almond, cashew, or coconut milk for a creamy milkshake that doubles up as a meal! 310 Nutrition encourages enjoying them 1-2 times daily.
• Fruit and greens smoothies! The vanilla and unflavored shakes are ideal for blending with some berries, greens, and a dairy alternative base for an antioxidant and vitamin-packed meal. You can also make smoothie bowls with 310 Nutrition.
• If you’re looking for quick, sweet finger foods to have around the house or while you’re out and about running errands, try making Protein Balls. [9]
• Breakfast options don’t have to be so heavy in carbs or added sugar when you can make pancakes with your shake – check out this recipe for Protein Pancakes. [10]
• Craving sweet, indulgent treats? We hear you… 310 Nutrition has a pretty decent recipe for Chocolate Cake, and you don’t have to bake it, either. [11]

The bottom line is that these shakes can serve as full meal replacements for any meal – breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Or, if you need an afternoon or evening pick-me-up, you can drink a shake, too!
