We\u2019re on a mission to improve those stats &#8211; not just by supplying high quality, nutritious plant-based foods, but also by providing people with education and support to build a healthier relationship with food, and a more nourishing overall diet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"http:\/\/nextblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/mix-kencko-horizontal-1-1.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>Meet kencko&#8217;s rainbow range of smoothies, packed with essential plant nutrients and bursting with flavor, free from refined sugar or artificial additives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Certified B Corporation\u00ae, kencko is committed to using the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. Every year, almost half of the world\u2019s fresh fruits and vegetables go to waste, creating more greenhouse gas emissions than most countries. We capture the nutrients of fresh produce in a shelf-stable form, reducing spoilage in the supply chain and helping consumers to waste less. Our B-Corp\u2122 certification holds us to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">kencko&#8217;s smoothies travel light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kencko is actively reducing the carbon footprint of our operations in three key areas: production, packaging, and shipping. By adopting efficient manufacturing processes we can keep waste to a minimum. On the packaging side, they&#8217;ve eliminated single-use plastics, sourcing compostable and renewable materials instead. They also offer GoGreen carbon neutral shipping as standard. They\u2019ll never stop striving to do better, and they\u2019ll update you as they go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1320\" height=\"880\" src=\"http:\/\/nextblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatIsKencko.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1337\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The only ingredients you\u2019ll ever find in kencko are whole organic plant foods, flash-frozen and slow-dried to retain their fiber and nutrients. Nothing added, nothing taken out except water &#8211; and that\u2019s a promise. They champion freeze-drying because it\u2019s the most energy-efficient way to extend the shelflife of produce with minimal loss of nutritional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"167\" src=\"http:\/\/nextblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1338\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>compostable packaging<\/li><li>carbon-neutral shipping<\/li><li>non-GMO<\/li><li>gluten free<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>certified organic fruits and veggies<\/li><li>no artificial additives<\/li><li>no added sugars<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">fresh from the farm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We source the best-tasting, most nutritious organic fruit and vegetables<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">flash-frozen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Produce is super-chilled, super-fast to keep all the good stuff intact &#8211; vitamins, minerals, fiber, carbohydrates and protein<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">slow-dried<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gentle heating dries out all the water content, preserving the taste, aroma and color of fresh produce in a shelf-stable powder form<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">blended<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed by a team that includes chefs and Registered Dietitians, our functional flavors are mixed in small batches, ready to be shipped to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A plant-rich diet is the key to a healthy future for people and planet.
