Thoughts on Shakeology...

The_new_Amy

This is a good point, the people who are probably best suited for something like shakeology are those who would otherwise eat fast food, something I haven't done in over three years. However, if you are the type of person looking for a quick fix to feed your body, shakeology is a far, far better choice than any drive thru.

I have a box of 50/50 chocolate/greenberry packets that I am going to use now that I've gotten serious about losing weight but only because I already have it on hand. I need to learn more about how to green juice well and make green smoothies to maximum nutritional benefit so the shakes are just a bridge for me right now. I hated the greenberry at first but now I actually like it better than the chocolate. I use water and unsweetened almond milk to mix it with. It's delicious with some frozen berries but the sugars are just too high for me that way.

Personally, I think it's much cheaper to find whole food sources and smoothie/juice them up yourself. I joined a CSA and will be getting a TON of local, organic greens and other produce from this week through October for $400 total.

My cousin is all about it right now. She says, "its all natural" and I said "honey.. its a powder."

I read reviews and the list of ingredients, I don't see how its different than slim fast.

Just juice.

Honestly, I felt that it smelled like cat urine. It was the chocolate. I couldn't get past the smell even after mixing it up with peanut butter.
