    I tried it just a few weeks ago, and was not a fan. I know of a ton of people who love it, but to each their own I guess.

    I have tasted chocolate shakeology and its sooo good, I got a sample pack and it made a lot , really filled me up. I see they have vegan now, would love to try but I can't afford it and not interested in joining company. If I could I would buy it to have around.

    Serving size is 48 grams and only 17 of them are protein. There is also 9g of sugar which is very high if you are attempting to lose weight. Even the stuff at Costco is better than this.

    Thank you...someone stating a real reason...

    Protein does not have to be expensive. Egg whites are cheap and the second best protein for BCAA's (second only to whey). You can add them to just about thing you eat because they are so neutral in taste and the calorie to protein ratio is amazing.

    I used this nutritional label for the shakeology greenberry to do a little comparison. I must admit it has some good ingredients in it...

    BUT

    I won't eat 19 grams of carbs (11 are sugar) with only 16 grams of protein for the cost of these shakes...regardless of all the other stuff loaded in them, that is crazy in a world today where the average protein powder is at least 25 grams or protein and only 3 grams sugar. Yes it has some extra nutrients, so take a a vitamin and mineral supplement with your protein, like Green Vibrance, which will give you even more nutrients for your money.

    I do not mind spending money on a good supplement if it has high quality. I buy some high end protein mixes and add some expensive green foods, mct oil, and good quality fiber them. Each shake I make is probably close to the price of shakeology. But I know what I am putting in my shakes and it is no where close to 19 grams of carbs! Also my shakes have twice the protein (and a lot more fiber, and healthy fat)

    And I have read about how some thing the body is only able to process a max of 20 grams protein per meal and that has been debunked in most athletic training research. The body breaks down aminos and uses them in a much different way that other macros...very little protein is EVER eliminated in the body without being processed and it is nearly impossible to turn protein to fat...so the more the better as long as you have normal bladder and kidney function...
