Shakeology

Almond Strawberry Dream Shakeology

I am often asked my thoughts on Shakeology and if I drink it every day. But to start off, I think I should share my thoughts on nutrition and health drinks in general.

In May of 2010, when my husband and I started the process of getting back into shape by using the workout program Insanity, we decided to try Shakeology as well. At this time, we ate horribly, including take out frequently and ice cream late at night several times a week! I did not like "healthy" foods. Not a big fan of many vegetables. But I knew we had to start making some changes if we wanted to seriously make changes in our bodies.

I had never tried any kind of health shake except for protein shakes when my husband would drink those and I didn't like them! Needless to say, I was extremely nervous about trying Shakeology because I really wanted to like it and was really scared that I wouldn't!

After trial and error playing with recipes and consistency, it was around the one week mark that I decided I LOVED Shakeology! We rarely miss a day of it and even try to take it on trips with us so we don't miss out.

Now let me tell you reasons we stay on Shakeology.

• Healthier and stronger hair and nails.
• Help with weight loss and weight management. I have lost and kept off 30 pounds!
• Regularity (no more details needed).
• 100% all natural.
• More energy. 
• At the time we started using Shakeology, I had been taking a healthy energy supplement for 9 months to a year. If I didn't have it, I would hit a wall by around 3 pm. I couldn't afford to do both, and was very nervous that I would hit that wall. I was extremely surprised and excited to find that with Shakeology I did not need the other supplements!
• Not getting sick. 
• For probably 10 years prior to drinking Shakeology, I was sick 3-4 times per year, usually for a couple of weeks at a time. Since then, I have had ONE SINGLE day where I ran a temperature. When our kids have had the flu, strep or stomach bugs, I have been fine. 

So, do I drink Shakeology? You bet I do! What are you waiting for?

What IS Shakeology? 

Shakeology is a comprehensive nutritional shake that provides a wide variety of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula. Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition!

Is it a protein shake?

Yes...and no! While Shakeology has a high quality protein component it is far more than that. Shakeology has over 70 greens, fruits and veggies - that's the nutritional equivalent to FIVE plates of salad in each serving! Now don't get me wrong, I love a good salad, but FIVE a day, EVERY day??? I just know that no matter how good that might be for me I just couldn't keep up with it! Shakeology makes it very easy to get all the vital nutrients you need while still controlling calories. Truth be told, the majority of people are WAY MORE nutrient deficient, than they are Protein deficient. So why just stop at a protein shake?

Are the macronutrients 'better' than the shake I'm already drinking?

A lot of people look at just 3 things on a label: the protein, carbohydrates and fats. There is WAY more to reading a label than that! As long as the protein, carbohydrates and fats are in an acceptable RANGE, what you REALLY need to look at is the quality of all the OTHER ingredients, where they come from and what they do for your internal health on a cellular level. You also need to be on the lookout for what is NOT on the label! Shakeology has no artificial colors, sweeteners, flavors, preservatives, stimulants or soy. When comparing labels, be sure to look at the BIG PICTURE!

Isn't it better to eat whole foods?

Yes! That's why Shakeology IS a whole food! Unlike many “processed, fake” foods, each of Shakeology's superfoods has a unique way of being “preserved”. It’s a very difficult process to dry a food out enough that it can be ground and stored in a bag, but not so much that it’s precious nutritional enzymes are killed and eliminating it's nutritional value. Each ingredient in Shakeology undergoes this careful process so that you get all the benefits of the whole food nutrition, without the hassle and expense of importing and consuming all 70 ingredients and juicing them every day!

Isn't Shakeology really expensive??

Anyone who thinks Shakeology is expensive simply does not understand it's REAL VALUE. In a day and age where it costs $5 for a cup of coffee, most people would agree that paying $4 for a complete and comprehensive nutritional meal like Shakeology is a BARGAIN. Remember too that Shakeology also includes all of the daily vitamins for a typical adult (or child), so you are getting that as well!

Now granted, most of us do not buy an entire month's groceries at one time, so when you multiply the daily cost of Shakeology out it can seem like a lot. BUT, when you consider that Shakeology is REPLACING one of those meals you'd need to purchase from the grocery store (or restaurant, or fast food place) I actually deduct my monthly Shakeology from my grocery budget. It is literally the least expensive AND the most dense nutritious daily meal my family consumes. For the price, I can not duplicate its number of high quality ingredients and nutrients.

Isn't Shakeology just for people who need to lose weight?

Definitely not! Remember, Shakeology is a NUTRITIONAL shake that EVERYONE can benefit from! So while it CAN be an extremely valuable tool for those looking to lose weight, it's just as valuable a tool for those looking to boost their immune system, regain energy, recovery from illness or even GAIN weight! Shakeology is about HEALTH. When you put the RIGHT nutrients in your body that it needs to develop, heal, recover, repair and thrive, you will ultimately have MORE energy, LESS cravings, and FEEL better there fore you eat less and become more active.

Shakeology is the FOUNDATION from which ANYONE, young or old, weak or strong, too heavy or too light can build optimal health. Shakeology is about DENSE NUTRITION so you can use it as your meal base and add clean calories to it making it a 300 calorie, 500 calorie or even more! Lets face it, not everyone needs to lose weight, but every needs to be healthier!
