    I drink it every day for breakfast and love it. :love: 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 love Chocolate Shakeology with unsweetened almond milk. I put PB and banana when I need more calories. Great no bake cookies too. I'm addicted.

    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!

    Is this in addition to your shake? I would imagine too many add ins turn the already expensive $4 shake into a $5-6 shake! (ie, some PB, a banana, milk, etc...)

    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.

    I love the taste! Just like others have said, you can definitely tell the difference in your overall health after only a short time of using it too. There are so many different ways to blend it too, so you can have a different shake every day of the week.

    Not advertising or trying to sell anything, but I do happen to have a few samples that I would send out if anyone is interested. Just message me if you are.
