What have you guys heard of Shakeology?
What do you think of it?
Would you recommend it?
Do you think its another fad?
Do you think it can be interchangably used as short term as well as long term?

The reason why i ask is because my a friend sent a a video link to shakeology and she wants me to try it. She uses it herself and so far she loves it. My fear is that once you use it, and then stop, that you would gain back the weight that you lost? Just my thoughts.

A little more background on Shakeology.
Its a low calorie, high nutrient packed, high protein packed shake mix that comes in two flavors: chocolate and green (lol which i assume is veggie hahaha) Its about $4 a shake per day for 30 days so the whole bag of mix would cost you $120 a month. Apparently $90 a month if your a member. I'm about to further research all this myself, but just curious if any others here on MFP have tried it and what you think!

    I personally don't like shakes or similar drinks but I have a few MFP friends who love the stuff and use it daily.

    I have been doing Shakeology for about a month. I have tons of energy, my face is clear even with TOM in town, I am able to not burn out after doing doubles. I have also been doing P90X for the past 6 days and with a combination of Shakeology & P90X I have lost 11.9 lbs in a month! I highly recommend it to everyone!!! Feel free to add me as a friend or ask questions!

    I got a sample and tried it - not for me! I couldn't drink more than a couple sips. I added a banana, peanut butter, almond milk... nothing helped! I had the chocolate kind. And admittedly I'm not a chocolate person - I don't like chocolate ice cream or milkshakes in general, but I had heard awful things about the greenberry flavor, so I gave the chocolate a chance. I hope they come out with more flavors - I've heard rumors about vanilla coming out soon - because I'd love to give shakeology a better chance to give me more energy and nutrition!

    I have been doing P90X since April, but sadly didn't start Shakeology until only a few weeks ago. I wish I had started at the beginning of the program. I've been able to get rid of several of my other vitamins and supplements just via Shakeology. The chocolate is the better tasting of the two flavors. And far better than many of the protein powders I've tried. Plus, you can always add peanut butter or fruits to adjust the flavor to your liking. I actually look forward to my Shakeology each day. Granted, it can be a bit pricey. But the convenience, to me, is worth it.

    I do Visalus which is slightly less expensive than Shakeology plus I can have more than 2 flavors (over 100 different flavors really). I buy a 30 day supply of 2 shakes a day for $117 shipped from MI to CA and shakeology is $115 per month before shipping. There are other tiers, 30 day supply of 1 shake a day for $45 before shipping or a "transformation" package for $248 before shipping.

    The really kicker that made me choose Visalus as the ability to have more than 1 flavor. I can't do 1 flavor for a month, I will get bored and stop doing it. Also the shake powder in just skim milk is delicious! And when I mix in peanut butter or frozen fruits, it's just delicious!

    Feel free to message me for more info, I can just ramble on & on about the shakes.
