What are your go-to items for red containers? Do you have any recipes? Do you use shakeology?

    I am in Bermuda and the cost for shakeology to be shipped here is prohibitive. I use the protein powder that the office uses (free is always good).

    we have a nutri-bullet and we buy fruit/veggies for the office every week so the fixings for my smoothies during the week are at no cost to me. Yeah.

    I do shakeology about every other day for breakfast. I love it but free would be better for sure!

    slimmerang what flavor Shakeology do you use? I got the regular chocolate, but I'm hearing that the vegan chocolate tastes better.

    I tried the reg chocolate a a year ago or so and it was too sweet I thought it was just the chocolate so this time I got the vanilla and still don't care for a full scoop I like a half scoop.

    I do use Shakeology and ordered the regular chocolate. It makes me feel bloated though and from what I'm hearing that's typically from the whey protein - I'm told the vegan solves that problem, so next time I'll order chocolate vegan.

    I mostly drink the strawberry but just got a variety pack and tried I chocolate. I like it and vanilla. The vanilla it depends what else I put in it. I have the vegan strawberry but haven't tried it. My friend said the strawberry vegan need a squirt of lemon to offset the taste but I haven't tried it yet.

    I was thinking of doing this without any shakeology. I currently use Jay Robb's Egg White Protein Powder. (Vanilla). But it seems like everyone is using shakeology... besides rainy and myself. Do you think this effects WL?

    I'm not sure if it effects the weight loss. I did 3 rounds of the fix starting March of last year before a vacation w/o shake o and I was still happy with my results :) I have nothing against shake o it just doesn't fit in my budget right now.

    I think the main benefit of the shakeo is to get in all your vitamins and nutrients. It's easy to get deficient on those things when you're trying to get fit. The shakeo really replenishes them, from what I understand. My nails are alot stronger since starting Shakeo at the beginning of the month, and my hair is far more healthy. All that being said, I don't think it will hurt your WL to not incorporate shakeo. It sure is expensive.

    i drink the chocolate vegan and am in love with it! as a vegetarian, i use hemp seeds as a trick to switch up what proteins i get. three tablespoons counts as a red! are there any other vegetarians or vegans in here?

    I haven't used any protien powder or shakeology. I eat lots of chicken and eggs and cottage cheese!
