Shakeology

Definately not worth it. Most taste like garbage and are not great considering the price. Shakeology is the same as all the other weight loss shakes out there.

You could either eat well or make a shake with your own fresh foods which would turn out to be cheaper and much better than shakeology.

When I make my own shake I blend up a handful of spinach, some parsley, than whatever fruit I have around. For protein I either add in yogurt or tofu.. you could also add in a protein powder. I used to use a vanilla flavoured one.

I don't make smoothies often as I would prefer real food but when I do have a smoothie I just make it with fresh ingredients as opposed to some powder made in a factory. It takes a bit more time but it's worth it. To save time my mother blends up a bunch of kale, some spinach and a bit of water than freezes it in ice cub trays. She than blends up a bunch of fruit with some protein powder, yogurt and water and than freezes that in ice cub trays. She doesn't have much time for lunch at work so she takes a smoothie that she can bring to her work station with her to drink. She puts water in a jar, adds in a few of the veggie and fruit cubes and brings that to work. By the time lunch comes the cubes are melted, a quick shake and it's good to go. Sounds weird but works for her. She spends maybe 3 hours on the weekend once a month to prep everything.

I assume it may be an aquired taste because a friend gave me a sample and it was AWFUL!! :sick: I decided that I could make a smoothie with all natural ingredients and be better off!!

:noway:

Wow your mom is a genious! Really smoothies take sooo long to make. And I dont have time to make one in the morning. The idea of freezing it will save TONS of time.

As for Shakeology, I don't believe its necessary. Plus last time I checked its highly expensive!

My smoothie literally takes five minutes to make including clean up. I use spinach, broccoli, banana, strawberry, blueberries and strawberries.

The most important thing about fruits and veggies is freshness. They lose nutrients with time. Fresh fruits and vegetables are clearly superior to some packaged powder.

I have been drinking Shakeology for over 6 months. ) I am not a coach and LOVE it. I will never go without it.
