Shakeology protein shakes

If you compare the nutrition label on the back of the Shakeology bag you will not find "fake" ingredients. You will also not find chemicals. You will find those things in regular protein powder.
Shakeology is made up of superfoods. No artificial sweeteners. I can't wait to get mine back! My body works really well on it.. we have been penny pinching lately so I had to put it on hiatus but can't wait to get on it again! I like the vegan chocolate.
there are no chemicals in shakeology.??? Really??????
Please provide a list of the "super foods" contained in shakeology…?

There's the label. Please tell me where the chemicals are??
for one "blueberry" they have chemicals in them.
Am I correct in assuming you eat no blueberries then? I know that at least a lot of their ingredients are organic. Some are even hand picked.
What I don't understand is how there are so many RUDE know-it-alls on these boards. Everyone has different preferences.
You'll have someone telling you Shakeology is crap yet they eat big macs and whatever works in their "IIFYM". WHAT EVER.
Yes, I do eat blueberries, but I don't pretend they do not have chemicals..
How am I rude to challenge your assertion that shakeology has no chemicals in it, while other protein powders do? Just because you were dead wrong and got called on it, is no reason to get all but hurt about it..
Look, I am sorry your magical elixir has chemicals in it….feel free to keep wasting money on a product that does absolutely nothing…
You're right.. it's my decision what to spend MY money on. I don't get why you're trying to convince everyone on here. Just do your thing and everyone else can do theirs! GEEZ.
My problem is that too many people on these boards think they know everything about nutrition, yet have no degree on the matter. Just losing weight "qualifies" them to put other people down and judge what other people consume. It makes me sick.
I am sick of bullies and people who make snide remarks putting other people down, hiding behind the internet.

That's interesting. I'll have to look for that. I'm a vegetarian so meeting my protein is really hard.. part of why I miss my shakeology.
I've never seen in it stores, I usually get mine from amazon. I tried really hard to like pea protein powder and rice protein powder and just don't.0 -
Ok, side question. Shakeology out of the picture. What about the other kinds of protein rich items that aren't "real food." Like shakes and Quest bars. Are those out too?
Not trying to start a fight, I really am curious. I have had a similar discussion in my groups and would love people's input.
...
i bought a box of specal k protine bars for a cross country road trip, and another 2 boxes of some fiber bars for the same trip. lol if you drive/sit in a car 20 hours a day for 4 days strait your backside gose on "lock down". but other than that most bars seem to be just over priced candy bars. i have protine shake mix i used to make if i was feeling particularly self ritious after a work out.... then i noticed the carls jr acrosed from my gym and the $6 "low-carb" hamburger tastes so much better ... costs less too!0 -

And yet, we have been very successful. Perhaps, a shift in thinking is in order.
No, it's not. People lose weight all the time using different methods. Just because you've lost weight doesn't tell me you know it all. Look at my ticker. I also know how to lose weight. You eat less calories, you lose weight. I KNOW how my body felt eating clean and drinking Shakeology. You'll never convince me that MY BODY didn't feel better and function better.
Very entertaining.
Personally, I change my views on nutrition when new scientific information comes out.
Do whatever you like with your body but don't be surprised when you're called out on BS.0 -
I'm still waiting for her to explain Shakeology's use of methylsulfonylmethane, a sulfuric industrial solvent, in their vegan chocolate shake. You know, since they apparently don't use chemicals. Funny how my first post about it was ignored.If you compare the nutrition label on the back of the Shakeology bag you will not find "fake" ingredients. You will also not find chemicals.

I've read 1/2 this and then have become bored, but it sounds like you have already tried a variety of shakes ... including shakeology (ie you've had numerous samples given to you from your coach??) ... totally confused and can no longer read hahaha0

Ha. Wasting money on magical thinking. Something about P.T. Barnum....0

Really the discussion about "chemicals" being in Shakeology is all semantics. WATER is a chemical. Everything has chemicals in it.
Shhhhhh!!! Chemicals are eVil!!! And water is fatal in large doses.
Oh shoot, and drank a half gallon of water so far today... What's gonna happen to me?
You're already dead . . .
At least I don't have to make dinner. LOL
lol dont fool your self...death can't get you out of KP duty...0 -
not a protein shake... meal replacement plan =/= protein shake0

stop being a bully by correcting incorrect statements...0 -
I'm using Slim Fast shakes once a day for the convenience, portability & cost. It helps me stay within my calories & I still eat real food. Just throwing in my two cents in the protein shake ring. I know nothing about the other brands. It is helping me lose weight, too.0

i have protine shake mix i used to make if i was feeling particularly self ritious after a work out....
i lol'd0 -
I thought about taking Shakeology shakes, but in doing a search for reviews, I found Green Vibrance and in searching for reviews on Green Vibrance, I found Maximum Vibrance. It lists every single ingredient on their label. Most ingredients are organic, each serving has 23 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, basically has every single vitamin and mineral you need most of which are derived from plant sources (as opposed to synthetics you will find in your traditional multi vitamins). It's definitely worth a look if you're interested in meal replacement shakes. I usually just add some cinnamon and an additional 10 grams of fiber. The flavor isn't great, but I don't think it's a horrible flavor either, but it does take some getting used to.0

Well then wait till you have a family.
Many people work this 5 days a week and can still make lunch. If you tired of it, then it's more of whether or not you're really willing to do it rather than should you do it.Only three days that I'm there for 10 hours. The other 2 days are approx 6 hours and I'm able to eat dinner at home, yay!! Not incl weekends where I eat all meals at home
Well you mentioned you're tired of making food, so it sounds more like you'd rather use a meal replacement out of convenience. I get that some may be pressed for time, but if it ends up being an everyday thing, then my question again is do you plan this to be how you continue consuming calories?Drinking a shake does neither. I'm just looking for something quick thats tasty as well.

I'm tired of planning all my meals for the work day (just those three days) sometimes I go without dinner because it.s easier. Just looking for a quick way to consume calories without the preparation that's involved.
