Shakeology? Huh?

I know Shakeology is ridiculously expensive. But personally, it is the only one I've ever had that tastes wonderful and fills me up. I love the chocolate and it really does keep you "regular"

I have quite a few friends on facebook that absolutely swear by it! You can make a ton of different flavors some i have heard of are choco peanut butter, cinnamon roll and pumpkin. I guess you really can do a lot with it. Id love to get rid of a meal and have a shake but from what I hear its like 120$ for a month supply. Ouch.

I've tried it and found it kind of gross actually - like I was drinking chocolate pudding. There are a lot of really great shake options out there that I find filling and a lot better tasting. Visalus is pretty great and if you eat one shake a day it costs about $50 a month plus whatever you mix into it (milk or orange juice or whatever).

Ok so whats with it? Cheap alternatives? Why do you like it? Is it filling? Describe and name your fave flavors and why. and preference as meal replacement or snack.Thanks I want as much info as possible. I don't know really... xox

Can't speak for the taste or flavor, but for the cost you can find cheaper alternatives and get similar results. To pay $120 a month for one shake a day is pretty expensive. You can get others for $1 or less per serving compared to the $3-$4 you spend on Shakeology.

Too expensive and I have been doing lots of research. I find Lean Shake from GNC is just as better and fulfilling and cheaper! Try it.

BSN Synth-6 on Amazon (cheapest prices), any flavor is delicious! I blend it with a stick blender, put some ice cubes in to chill the mix and enjoy.

The only kind of shakeology that really is worthy of attention :P

I personally love it! I like both flavors Chocolate and Greenberry. Tropical will be out in January is Vegan. $3-4 a serving is not expensive to me. Most of you spend that much or more on lunch or on Starbucks. There are "cheaper" shakes out there but none of them have the same nutritional value. Just my opinion.

Thank you for your unbiased opinion as a BeachBody coach who sells it.

BTW to use the analogy that eating fast food or getting a Starbucks coffee as a comparison isn't valid. People aren't consuming that as a meal replacement or protein supplement.

Ok, yes, I'm a Beachbody coach, so of course I'm going to promote Shakeology, right? Well, listen to my story first.....

I changed my diet to mostly raw foods over the summer, including dairy. I even started making my own kefir with raw milk. Some of you are probably gagging right now.....sorry!

Anyway, when I signed on as a coach (free, b/c we're active duty military, so I was like, "Hey, it's free AND I get my workouts at wholesale...score!"), I decided to check out Shakeology. We are a one income family, so even with my discount I was VERY hesitant to purchase it. First I did some research on it. If I don't put unhealthy stuff in my body, I'm not going to try some shake that may have artificial stuff or is just loaded with protein.

I was really amazed at what I found out about Shakeology. First of all, I didn't expect it to taste good, but it did. I made mine taste just like a Mocha Frappe from Starbucks. Secondly, the ingredients blew me away. There's VEGETABLES in the shakes, people! I was kind of weirded out by the thought of barley and wheat grass in my shakes. Because even though we do a lot of "weird" stuff already, I wasn't sure how I felt about that in my chocolate shake!

I still believe it's very pricey for a shake, but when comparing what's out there, it's a reasonable amount of money.

NOW...there are other shakes that ARE cheaper! My new fave is the Beachbody meal replacement vanilla. It's only $40 for 30 servings. It's just as filling and actually creamier in my opinion.

AND....if you want to really go "cheap" and healthy, make your OWN shakes! I used my raw homemade kefir mixed with the same things I put in my Beachbody shakes. The protein and other nutrients can't be beat!

Good luck!

PS Regardless of what shakes you consume.....you should be able to at least pronounce the ingredients!!! Don't put artificial things in your body!!!

Hate to tell you that if you think that there's nothing artificial in any shake on the market, you've been scammed. You do realize that Shakeology is made by a 3rd party and not manufactured by Beach Body right?

Shakeology is certified by a 3rd party, but manufactured by Beachbody in NY. It really is all natural.

I'm very open to finding out the truth if it is not. Please let me know where I could find info on how I'm being scammed. I take my health very seriously!

It's not a scam, some people just don't like it.

It's like Amazing Grass...also not a bad shake...or Body by Vi....another decent one. But if you don't like, that's great! But nobody should try to persuade you from getting in your good nutrition as they do.

It started out as a hatred for the recruiting/selling types on MFP and for some people it has unfortunately been turned into a vendetta against the products. I mean, call Shakeology a scam and then say it's OK to gulp down Diet Coke? People just need to make their own informed decisions and tune out the people that make the opposite ones as long as we are all making healthy decisions.

Reading unbiased reviews helps too.

It's definitely not a scam. I've seen the results first hand in my own family. Weight loss, lower cholesterol, no more need for Lipitor, no more IBS, no more hypoglycemia. The fact is, Some people will just be haters, full of negativity and pessimism. When they are presented with something real and genuine, they can't see it. The fact is, the public has been scammed way too often. A healthy bit of skepticism is important, but some people try to prove everything is a scam, even when it's not. Do your own research, make your own decisions and don't be brought down by the skeptics.
