kencko is a smart food company, reinventing organic fruit and vegetable products to help people eat healthier, and waste less.

Our no-fuss instant smoothies make it easy to add 2.5 servings of fruits and veggies to your daily routine. The only ingredients we use are whole organic plant foods, flash-frozen and slow-dried to retain their fiber and nutrients. Nothing added, nothing taken out except water.

Almost half of the world’s fresh fruits and vegetables are thrown away uneaten. Our process cuts waste by capturing the nutrients of fresh produce in a shelf-stable form, until you’re ready to enjoy them. We also lighten our footprint by using compostable packaging and offsetting all emissions from shipping.

kencko’s smoothies come in a rainbow of flavors to suit your unique nutritional needs. Plus, all members can access free coaching from a registered dietitian to provide the support they need to grow their healthy habits with kencko.

kencko is currently available in the US, Europe, UK, and Singapore.
