Shakeology

I really really love it, I used to use Slimfast because I'm cheap, and I can totally tell the difference in everything, my mood, my energy, my hair, my skin, best money I ever invested in myself!!

make sure you have the $$$ for it.
I personally did not like the taste of it at all and would rather use the money each month to build a more healthy meal that feeds my whole family each night than me just drinking a glass.

I was on a protein shake diet for 6 months after I had surgery so.. its up to you.
atleast get a beachbody peep to give u a free sample to try first

Ive been wondering about this too. I'm doing TurboFire and they always talk about it.

i use the chocolate shakeology and I love it! I put extra ice in it so it's like ice cream instead of a shake lol... it reminds me of the chocolate frosty from Wendy's!!!

I thought the chocolate one tasted awful. So far people say "it's great" but don't have much more to offer.

I have seen and heard about it, but after researching costs and benefits have decided to go without. One, I am trying to stay away from drinking my calories, and two, I already spend enough money on BB videos and Shakeology is a lot of money for shakes if you ask me.

Like txjulie, that is part of the reason I became a coach. I have been drinking the chocolate shakeology regularly for about a month and a half now.

As far as the taste goes, I think that you will enjoy it better if you blend it up with ice...even better if you add milk (or whatever milk-like drink you have). Like someone else pointed out it is great with peanut butter and/or bananas. Basically, add anything that you enjoy chocolate with. If I have the shake as my meal then I add other stuff to provide more substance, but if I am just using it as a snack, then I will use just water.

I have also had the greenberry, and wasn't so crazy about that one, but I mostly just added water. Of course, I'm sure it would have been more enjoyable if I would have added juice/fruit to it.

One of the major reasons why Shakeology is a great option is because of the nutritional value. You would have to consume about 5 lbs of veggies each day to get the amount of nutrition you get from 1 serving of shakeology. Shakeology is much more than JUST a protein shake or meal replacement.

I will happy to give you more information as I learn. I have only been a coach for a short time.

Agreed. I got a free sample from somebody, and I tried it with a bit of peanut butter mixed in. It was GROSS.

I had a sample of each, chocolate was delicious and so creamy but greenberry was nasty!

I however won’t pay $119 a month when my protein powder is $29 for 69 servings.

Yes, I am fully aware there are more nutrients less protein in Shakeology but still, it's not worth the investment unless you are hard core and have given up a naughty lifestyle including all cheats PERMANENTLY. Why waste your money if you don’t have the perfect athlete mindset when it comes to fitness and nutrition IMO. If you are nearing perfection in your eating and exercising habits then by all means, you deserve it.

I drink it every day for breakfast and love it. I wouldn't eat breakfast otherwise and I know I need to get my metabolism fire burning first thing in the morning. The weight loss, energy, digestive regularity...all just amazing. My 65 year old dad has lost 45 lbs in 5 months just replacing one meal a day with it. He's not exercising or following a diet. Shakeology just cannot be compared to slimfast or any protein shake. It is full of antioxidants, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes etc that cannot be matched. It's definitely best in a blender with ice, and whatever you choose to blend with it. Don't shake it up in a cup. I also use more than 8 oz of liquid. I have some of the individual packets if you want a sample, shoot me a message.

Just got it recently and think that it is DELICIOUS. Yes, it is sickly sweet and expensive, but here's my solution. I use a scoop with double the amount of water and use it for two days. Now your $120 is only $60 a month, and your 150+ calorie shake is now only 75 cals (plus whatever delicious add ins you choose). I also do not use it every single day - I only make it when I need a quick snack, ate badly, or had an extreme work out day. I'm sure this takes away from the whole Shakeology "magic" but hey, having it 3/4 days a week is still better than not at all right?

I did it for a couple of months and didn't really notice any energy or appetite difference; just the satifaction of not eating a really bad breakfast. The chocolate one was OK, I tried different additions (banana, mint extract, peanut butter, strawberries) and it helped from getting bored with the same thing every day. I still drink them every once in a while for variation--it helps the $119 stretch farther. The Greenberry is truly awful--nothing could salvage that taste--its funny how in the website video they are drinking it going "mmmmm, delicious..." I bet they vomited soon after hearing "CUT!" If it was cheaper, I'd drink it more often. I find myself eating a bowl of cheerios with banana and skim milk for much fewer calories and I feel more satisfied--and it's alot cheaper!

You would have to consume about 5 lbs of veggies each day to get the amount of nutrition you get from 1 serving of shakeology. Shakeology is much more than JUST a protein shake or meal replacement.

Yeah, but eating 5lbs of veggies a day isn't healthy for you either.

I love shakeology and btw, Target has a Bella Cucina rocket blender http://www.target.com/Bella-Cucina-Rocket-Blender-10029/dp/B000I0QDGC an individual shake blender on sale in stores for $20, not as great as the magic bullet but perfect for individual shakes.

The way I reduce the cost of shakeology is I am splitting the cost of one month with my coworker so our pockets aren't so empty and we still get the benefits of shakeology just not everyday. If I had to pay on my own I would say it's too expensive as well.
