Shakeology

My favorite flavor post-workout!

MY SHAKEOLOGY STORY
Before I began mixing Shakeology drinks in my kitchen I had been asked to 'give it a try' on several occasions. I declined each opportunity. My energy was average and many times I felt stressed and tired from the every day things I did. I wasn't sleeping well. I was not exercising regularly, but wanted to. I had always loved sports and was an athlete in high school. I knew that good nutrition would play a role in getting healthy, but where did this shake fit in and what was so great about it anyway? I had already tried meal replacement shakes, and thought this was the same type of product. I was Very wrong.

After some research (albeit a LOT of research) about the company and the product, I decided to try Shakeology. My husband's friend was talking about what it had done for his health, and I was intrigued. We picked up some convenience packets from him, and I mixed a stawberry packet with water. Not bad. It took about 10 days after drinking the Shakes that I started to notice some changes. I had increased energy, my mood had improved and I was not always cranky. My sleep became more restful, I did not crave junk food and sugary treats all the time, and that was what got me hooked. I am a big sugar freak, and I knew I couldn't get healthy and continue to eat it as much as I did or I would never lose weight and become healthier. It was REALLY HELPING!

It is difficult to say what my favorite aspect of Shakeology is. The impact it has made on my entire family's health has been substantial. I use it in no bake recipes and make shakes that my entire family drinks/eats and we have never been healthier. The city I live in was declared this winter as "the sickest city in that nation" by a national statistics report. in 2014 my children were sick once over Christmas and they bounced back quickly. Perhaps it's the versatility of Shakeology I like most. I use it as a pre-workout drink, post-workout drink, snack, or a meal replacement.  It is VERY convenient. I can make a shake in less than 3 minutes even if I make it with fruit and other add-ins. It has supported my 30 pound weight loss because it is feeding my body what it needs and I do not feel compelled to eat all of the time. Alright, I've got it!  My favorite part is that it actually tastes great. I look forward to and actually get a craving for my shake every day. My favorite flavor is chocolate!

When I first discovered how much it cost, my jaw dropped. It seemed like  a big number to me. My friend asked me to break down the cost into how much it cost on a daily basis. Well, that wasn't bad at all. The price tag for a 30-day supply sort of slaps you in the face initially. Then I thought about how it could save on my grocery bills, my supplements and vitamins I was so faithfully taking because of where I live, and all of the {expensive}superfoods I was purchasing to mix into other things so I could eat a balanced diet. It was then I saw the value, the convenience, and the potential of what Shakeology could do for me in my life. I was actually saving money by drinking it. And so it goes...

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, carbs and fats. There is WAY more to reading a label than that! As long as the protein, carbs and fats are in an acceptable RANGE, what you REALLY need to look at is the 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. Its 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 ultimeltaly 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!
