I know it's an MLM scheme, but I bought it because it came in a package with the DVDs I wanted and I wanted to help my friend out. THat being said....
I like the taste - I usually add berries to it or almond butter. I like that it has 17 g of protein in just the powder before I add milk, nut butter or other ingredients. That's like 3 eggs and I try to get a lot of protein at breakfast.
- It fills me up
- my skin has cleared up a lot since using it.
- while i know I could save a lot of money making my own food, the powder has a lot of nutrients and superfoods that I wouldn't get making it on my own. The powder works out to about $4.50 per day I think.
Wow, I didn't know the price of that stuff! Thanks for that info. The price kinda struck me just now.
For 4.50 a day, I can get 2 or 3 dozen eggs. Or I can get a sack of apples. Or I can buy a ton of oatmeal.
Personally, I'd rather buy real food and invest in a good multivitamin.
three egg whites, a multivitamin, a tbsp of peanut butter, and 2 pieces of bread = breakfast at less than $1
a sweet potato with cottage cheese and a little hummus twice baked = lunch also less than $1
A couple packs of fruit snacks for snacks: less than 0.50
So I have eaten food so far today and I'm full, and I spent a dollar less than the daily powder, and only about 5 minutes prep last night for the twice baked potato (in the microwave). It takes me less than 5 minutes to make breakfast.
To each his own.
ETA: Or's. Or's make the math work.
Yea, but you didn't get any of the "superfoods" that Shakeology offers...lol.

Prepare breakfast the night before when the girls go to bed. Those things are a waste of money. Don't use a busy morning as an excuse to not do the work. This whole weight loss process requires work. Don't try to shortcut yourself.0

I digress: OP, fast breakfast. . . .open PB, eat a spoonful, squeeze honey into piehole. . . . count to 3. Drink water, go for a run. Get out early and often. Oh and my munchkins wake up AFTER I'm back, then make them breakfast.0

Those shakes/replacements offer no benefit in the way of time or nutrition that you couldn't otherwise get for far less money. For instance, overnight oats with protein powder are a great source of quality carbs and protein, and will take all of 30 seconds to whip together into a bowl and throw in the fridge. Takes maybe a minute to heat (or if you're like me, just eat it cold).0

I know what you mean about trying to make a quick and easy breakfast. I have tried most shakes around. They are all about the same. I would go with the most cost effective with the highest protein. But I am no expert. I also agree a real food breakfast is best but I keep shakes at my desk at work for days I am not prepared with real food so that I at least have something instead of hitting the vending machines.0

hola,hay opiniones divididas en torno a herbalife,sin embargo,puedo decirte que es porque no conocen para que esta fabricado, herbalife es un suplemento nutricional,que te puede ayudar a bajar o subir de peso o a mantenerte, pero debes seguir indicaciones para que no haya rebotes,como cualquier otro producto.yo tengo 8 años consumiendolo y lo convino con una buena nutricion,yo lo consumo para baja de peso tomandolo por la mañana y por la noche, eso evita que consuma calorias de mas, de echo toda mi familia lo consume,hasta los bebes..no te hara daño,al contrario,inviertes en salud porque lo que gastarias en sodas,una amburguesa,cigarros o cerveza mejor usalo en buena nutricion,es costo beneficio.solo tu puedes tomar la decicion...
Totally!
