Anyone else in here using shakeology? I have been using it everyday for the past 6 months as a meal replacement for breakfast... along with exercise... and I can honestly say I'm in the best shape of my life even after two kids. I have also cut out all fast-food and soda! Whooo!

Do you a search on here
There's a bazillion shakeology posts 0 -
So you started exercising, dropped some junk food, and are eating fewer calories than your body needs...
but you're attributing your success to an expensive product?
Here's the search page (also linked at the top of any thread):

http://www.lazymanandmoney.com/beachbody-scam/Are there any shake mixes that are $4 for 140 calories? The closest thing you can find is Carnation Breakfast Essentials, No Sugar Added, which has similar calories, protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals for $0.62 a serving... I know Shakeology Coaches are going to try to rip me apart for the comparison saying that Carnation is full of bad ingredients. However, as long as shakes aren’t a good health choice (according to the review referenced above) to begin with, quibbling over the differences here doesn’t make sense. What’s vastly more important is that the nutrition label is very, very similar, but at around 1/6th or 1/8th the price of Shakeology.0 -

So I'm being bashed because shakeology worked for me? My worst meal of the day was breakfast. I wouldn't think twice about going to McDonald's for an egg mcmuffin or dunkin donuts. As a busy mom, I needed something quick, easy and healthy. After doing research and sampling different shakes, I chose shakeology. It works for me. It may not work for you, and that's great. A change in diet and busting my butt in the gym / at home: I feel great. Shakeology was a contributing factor. Now I was hoping I'd have some people reply that drink it so we could share recipes. Thank you.0

a diet with mcdonalds for breakfast that hits macros/micros/calorie goal for the day is no less health than one that has shakeology for breakfast and also hits macro/micro/calorie goals ….
no one is bashing you …
the point is you don't need shakeology for any weight loss, fitness, health, etc goal ...0 -

I read your OP as a commercial, no where in your OP did you ask for recipes.0 -
I drink it and enjoy the strawberry shakeology with bananas. I'll mix it with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 serving of the strawberry shakeology, 1/2 or whole banana and some ice. I've mixed 1 serving of the chocolate shakeology with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, and a cup of cold black coffee. I also like chocolate shakeology with almond milk, and 2 tablespoons of all natural crunchy peanut butter. The vanilla shakeology is rough. Google search "shakeology recipes". There are tons of recipes.0

OP, shakeology gets a bad rap because SO many "coaches" join MFP and to try to shoot fish in a barrel and drum up business. They start threads about "FREE 5 day challenge!" and "OMG, it worked for me, message if you want details!". It might work, but it's marketing is really underhanded and dodgy, so it ends up getting the respect it deserved. people aren't bashing you, they're bashing the product (and it's marketing).0

As far as needing something quick for breakfast, I keep boiled eggs in the fridge, pre-cook bacon and package it in snack bags. This morning, I peeled an egg, emptied my two slices of bacon out on the plate, microwaved it for 30 seconds while I made a piece of toast and sliced some strawberries. Bam. And I didn't have to clean a blender. About 300 calories. And yummy.0

You know how you never hear the word "ensuing" except in the context of a (American) football game (ie the "ensuing kickoff")?
I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever use the phrase "best shape of my life" unless they were trying to sell me something

Somehow I don't think any shake can turn you into the "best shape of your life" :noway:

Thanks for the suggestion! I have started to ween myself from shakes every day... it gets a little old. So I appreciate your suggestion! I did bake some eggs in a muffin sheet the other day... with some ground turkey, peas and a pinch of cheese... and have to say, I am a big fan!0 -
MLM woo. Beachbody coaches be gone.0

I started Shakeology just a week ago. I am not a coach nor am I trying to be. I was also turned off by the constant barrage of "I've just lost 40 lbs in a month! Pm me for my super secret method I refuse to divulge to everyone b/c I'm super shady!!" or "BEACHBODY P90X HELPED ME LOSE 90 LBS IN A WEEK! JOIN TODAY!!" followed by ads for Shakeology. So I was super skeptical, but it WORKED for me, and I really am amazed by the results. I've tried several lifestyle changes such as eating whole foods, healthier foods, nonprocessed stuff, removing sugar from my diet, drinking 203022 oz of water per day, but it STILL left me hungry by late night and I'd end up snacking on nuts or anything crunchy b/c I had a craving for it. Shakeology is the first thing I've tried that has kept me full and reduced my cravings to almost nothing. So I say YOU GO GIRL!! KEEP UP THE SHAKEOLOGY!!! AND CONGRATS ON FINDING SOMETHING THAT WORKS
:D:D:D. HATERS GONNA HATE loool! as for recipes- I use vanilla powder with almond milk, water, ice and a banana- this is by far my favorite. I've read that pumpkin is great with vanilla and it ends up tasting something like pumpkin pie but I've yet to try it. I can't stand strawberry though- does anyone have tips to make it more palatable? I have 2 packets that I don't want to go to waste

Why not just buy cheaper shakes that don't belong to a mlm scam? From what I've seen, these types of meal replacement shakes are all much of a muchness. ..0

What channel is this? It's like I'm watching a 2am infomercial.
