Shakeology

I used to drink it all the time. The pros - nice and think so makes awesome smoothies, great taste, mixes nicely. Cons - expensive, I have recently switched to Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey Protein and it does the same thing at a fraction of the cost. I do have to use 2 scoops instead of one but get it for around $50 for a 5 lb tub on Amazon vs $120 for a (I believe) 2 lb bag of Shakeology.

Bottom line, after trying Shakeology I can honestly say it is way over priced for what you are getting.

Except when you compare nutrional information. I used gold standard whey protein for awhile until my mom gave me her shakeology. She was never a fan of any type of protein shake. For price wise sure it is cheaper but I disagree on them being equal as far as nutritional value go. But again, to each their own.

Just comparing whey to shakeology, no. But add in a multivitamin and the playing field is much more level and you're still ahead on cost by using whey+multi.

Well for people like me who can't actually swallow a multivitamin shakeology is just fine. I personally enjoy it and its a lot easier to get down then me choking on a giant horse pill. I can afford it so I'll stick with it. Plus it may be a coincidence but my entire family is sick, all 3 of my children and my boyfriend have been sick for days and I'm perfectly fine. 6 months ago I'd be in bed crying for my mommy long before my bf got sick. It could also be because I eat healthy now but who kniws .

Man the opinions are flying out here like bird crap. Be careful before some of it gets on you. For all the talk that's going on, you should have a solid answer, but you still don't. There is nothing that compares. What everyone seems to be crying about is the price. Even the people that offer you an alternative can't put up a product that meets all the stats of SHAKEOLOGY. The cost is less then $4.00 a meal. I don't care where you buy your food you will have at least that much expense into either going to the grocery to get or buy it already cooked. Plus this is delivered right to your doorstep every month.

How It Works*

This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today's highly processed foods.
At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Now, that's the simple truth. Yeah, you really don't have to have it for success, but you can't get a better product for a lower cost, producing the same quality results period. And yes I'm also a BeachBody Coach. So If you want to try it for yourself and make your own intelligent decision about if it's right for you. Just let me know and I'll help you get started.

I heard from someone that they use beetle shells in them, even in the vegan ones. I don't think I'd want to eat bug shells.

I heard from someone that the world was ending on December 21st.......

I heard Starbucks used bugs in their strawberry fraps

In fact, I heard that crushed bugs are used in all sorts of food colorings that are utilized by a whole bunch of mainstream companies, including red gatorade... Just sayin.

I believe its one of the red dyes that are in red foods and what not
