in Introduce Yourself
Shakeology is/uses a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics to gently and efficiently eliminate toxins. Then a combination of antioxidants, phytonutrients, adaptogens, and many other rare ingredients give your body the essential nutrients you can’t get from a normal diet. You get a salad bowl’s worth of fruits and vegetables in a single glass.

Whole-food ingredients—all-natural foods that still maintain the vitamins, minerals, and fiber often stripped from highly processed foods—deliver these nutrients to help your body shed stored fat and promote optimum health.
In a 90-day research study, we replaced one meal per day with Shakeology
and saw major improvements in the health of the group.*†

By the end of week 1 - Improved digestion and regularity - Reduced cravings

By the end of week 4 - Increased energy and stamina - Lost weight - Improved mental clarity

By the end of week 12 - Lost, on average, 10 pounds and 2 inches off waist - Reduced risk of heart disease and other
degenerative diseases - Lowered cholesterol on average by 30% and even up to 70% - Exhibited healthier skin, hair, and nails

Anyone??

    I'm not doing Shakeology daily now, but I have done it. I like the chocolate with some added cinnamon. I used it as a snack rather than a meal replacement. It's good stuff. What kind of feedback are you looking for?

    Hey, I am new here but I just wanted to let you know that my boyfriend and I use Shakeology. I usually drink it for breakfast mixed with water or skim milk. I love it.

    Any sort of feedback, Does it do what they say it does, how did it make you feel? Does it replaces a meal? is it worth the money?...etc..

    My husband and I have been drinking Shakeology daily for almost 3 months now. We love it and so does my 10 year old daughter. However, she does not drink it daily, just occasionally. In about a week or so we will have my husbands cholesterol levels tested to see how Shakeology has lowered his cholesterol since drinking it. We have his before numbers so it will be good to compare.

    I did not have a cholesterol problem but chose to use Shakeology for the many health benefits due to the ingredients. I will say that when I had strep throat a few weeks ago and had to take an antibiotic, I did not get a yeast infection as us women are doomed to get when on an antibiotic. I attribute this directly to Shakeology and the probiotics in it. In general, I have more energy and it has helped me lose weight. I intend to continue using it even once I meet my weight loss goals. It is a really great product. It is like no other shake out there.

    I feel better since I started drinking it and it is nice to be able to just mix it up and go for me for breakfast as that is my rush time. The Chocolate is the first meal replacment powder that actually tastes good to me and I've tried a lot of them out there. They are worth it.

    Is shakeology the same thing as Shake The Weight? I have one of those next to my office. Never tried it though, but I see alot of people going in there.

    When I drink it, I feel better. I think my skin looks better when I drink it. I have seborris dermititis (pretty much acne caused by stress). I just need to stick with it everyday to really see.

    Oh and I do use ice in mine also....with a shakeology shaker. love them!!

    I have the Greenberry Shakeology. It doesn't taste great to me, but I can easily get it down. I know that it is a really nutrutious skake. I usually drink it with just water and ice, but I will try putting it in the blender with ice next time. I haven't really felt any difference, but then again I am not consistent. Maybe next week I will try and have one a day.

    byHISstrength- try adding fruits you like to the greenberry flavor, along with either water and ice or fat free milk and ice. I make mine with fresh mango and milk OR 8oz of orange juice and 4 oz of water. blend and add ice cubes to chill. This second recipe tastes like an Orange Julius (if you've ever had that at the mall:happy: )
    I have a recipe booklet I can send you if you like. Just send me a note with an e-mail address I can send it to.
    If your Shakeology is "hard to get down", its not being mixed right. It should taste awesome!

    YogaRunner,
    Would you mind sending the recipe booklet to me as well? I am getting a couple of greenberry sample packets soon and I'd like some different ways to try them! I'll send you a PM with my e-mail address. :smile:
