Shakeology....tastes like grass????

kim_mc

Hey everyone,
I've been wondering about shakeology due to all the claims about how well it works. I went to beach body and read reviews and found LOTS saying that it tastes horrible.

So I am wondering what you all think of the taste and also if a protein shake would be just as good and maybe taste a little better??

What do you recommend?

I personally use the chocolate flavor mixed with skim milk. It's a really tasty chocolate milkshake to me. Sometimes I add strawberries because I like the idea of chocolate covered strawberries...

I have never tasted the Greenberry kind which I am assuming is the one you are talking about that "tastes like grass." The chocolate doesn't taste bad at all, and in fact, I love the taste. But I am a chocoholic, lol.

A different protein powder would not have the same effects as Shakeology because of all the other things it has in it like probiotics, digestive enzymes, fiber, etc. Shakeology isn't even a "protein powder" anyway, it is a meal replacement. Protein powders are supplements.

Find yourself a Beachbody coach and ask for a free sample, then decide for yourself before you buy. But I recommend the chocolate, and mix it with whatever kind of milk you like for that whole choco milkshake effect. Mixed with water I feel the chocolate is too chocolately, if that's even possible, lol.

Yeah- I was reading about the green berry but even some chocolate reviews were poor. Glad tom know that it actually tastes like chocolate!

I heard the same thing about green berry.

I have a free sample coming to me from a beachbody coach on MFP, I'm hoping it's the chocolate one

I will let you know what I think of it when I get it. I will tell you that I have drank all different kinds of protein shakes/meal replacements and while they are not wonderful sometimes, in general I usually don't mind them. I put up with lots of things that may not taste that great for the sake of losing weight, lol! My husband on the other hand just complains if something doesn't taste as he expects it to.

Just wanted to report back. I am drinking my chocolate shakeology drink as I type this. I mixed it in the blender with ice, milk, and strawberries and it's pretty tasty. It's really chocolaty, kind of reminds me a little of dark chocolate. I definitely think I could drink it everyday and I feel very full right now after drinking it.
