Shakeology

This morning one of my co-workers kindly gifted me a bag of Shakeology Strawberry!
I've never used the stuff, and tend to shy away from packaged protein powders, but these ingredients seem to line up with my nutritional goals. For those of you familiar with the product: what are your favorite recipes? I'll take any calorie count from snack-sized to meal replacement (for me the latter is about 400-600 cals).
I do make my own smoothies a couple times per week with everything from kale to berries to ground flax, and I own a digital scale, so feel free to get specific.

OK so I noticed that I've gotten some flags and did a quick search. I was not aware that this is one of those voodoo weight loss products...Little scared off now.
I got this as a hand-me-down and don't plan to follow any diet with it.
Does anyone know of any reason/ingredient why I should not put this stuff in my body?0 -
That sucks about the flags. Shakeology gets a lot of flack here but if you aren't selling it you shouldn't be flagged for it.
People knock it mainly because it is expensive and is sold via MLM scams. You can buy better protein powder for less money at a reputable store. But you got it free so that puts you ahead of the game.
I hope you get some good recipes.

I've not tried Shakeology, personally, but from my understanding, there's nothing harmful about it. If the ingredients and nutrients fit, go ahead and use what you've been given (I would!) That is, of course, assuming you like the flavor.
As far as recipes, I usually just mix my protein powders with milk and drink.
The only reason I don't/wouldn't use Shakeology is that it is overpriced. I can get other good protein powders for much less.0 -
The sellers try to come on here and sell it all the time. It's basically a low quality protein powder. It won't harm you at all but it won't do much for you either.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Shakeology, I love it. It's not magically by any means but I like it. I have Vegan Chocolate and mix it with coffee which is why I didn't comment with any ideas. Check the beachbody website or pinterest and you'll find a ton of ideas.
The only thing I've heard against Shakeology is that it's too expensive and that Beachbody is a pyramid scheme thing so there's that. I was a coach and hated that it is a pyramid scheme so I stopped. I'm finishing up the shakeology I have and then I'll find something else that's not so expensive. I'm a little sad though I do really enjoy my shakeology and the 21 day fix did wonders for me.0 -
Don't get suckered in this MLM mess and start selling it. Know that you can buy similar things about a billion dollars less at stores like walmart and target.0

I use milk, about 1/2 a banana and strawberry powder in a shake. Strawberry banana is good!0

I had no idea this stuff was so pricey! The guy who gave it to me is the president of the company, so he's not a rep and doesn't have to worry about making money off of the stuff.TheBeachgod wrote: »I use milk, about 1/2 a banana and strawberry powder in a shake. Strawberry banana is good!

I bet the banana protein "pancake" recipes that go around here (like in this thread) would taste great with strawberry protein powder.
I mix protein powders with oatmeal and/or yogurt a lot too when I'm using it (although I prefer bars to powders now.)0 -

You received it from Jonathan Congdon?0 -
I've tried strawberry Shakeology a couple of times. My favorite recipe for it is 8oz of almond milk (or liquid of your choice), 1 cup mixed berries, 1/2 a banana, and ice. I also like the strawberry banana recipe that someone else posted. If you go to shakeology.com you can find more recipes.0

Pancakes yasss!
Thanks, I'll try the website, too.0 -
Search Pinterest. I know there are a ton of recipes. Basically mix it with whatever sounds good. I've noticed when I make my fruit smoothies with a scoop of protein, no matter how much spinach I put in the cup with my fruit, I never taste it. Tricking myself to be healthy.0

The first thing people get wrong about Shakeo is they think it's a protein shake when in fact it's meant to be a health shake.
I drink it everyday.
My favourite way to prepare it is with unsweetened almond milk and a frozen banana blended until smooth.0 -
Its low quality junk. Don't waste your time0
