    Hmmm, if you think it's awful that might be hard lol. I actually like the taste of it. I find that I like it better with vanilla soy milk than regular milk. I really like it with bananas or peanut butter blended in also, maybe give that a try. I think strawberries or raspberries would be good too but haven't tried it yet.

    I like the taste but I use mine with almond milk.
  • Do you have Chocolate or Greenberry? I am a Beachbody Coach and I never tell people about the Greenberry because in my experience no one likes it. The Chocolate however is the bom diggity LOL. I usually mix it with skim milk or vanilla almond milk. If you have a blender you can add ice or some fruit. I am also a Body By Vi Distributor and I like it too because it is a Sweet Cream Flavor and you add whatever to it and it tastes really good, of course the best perk is that it is half the price of Shakeology. If you have any questions, just send me a personal message and I can send you some recipes.

    When I drank it, I'd add some cinnamon and ice cubes. The colder, the better. It made a world of difference in my opinion.

    I tried the chocolate and it was beyond horrible. It sis NOT satisfy my hunger and it was the worst taste of all. It was also the most expensive. It is rated 4th by shake review which is an independent company. I think this company charges so much to pay the coaches. Ideal Shape is the best.
  • Don't know about charging so much to pay the coaches...........we have to buy our products if we use them and we have to pay a monthly fee. They charge for all the vitamins, minerals and other healthy ingredients in the shake. I really enjoy the chocolate and it gives me super energy!!

    trash it and get something that you like the taste of and has a better nutritional profile

    Sell them. They cost way too much to have to put another $2 worth of food to make them taste better.

    Better idea, SELL THEM! They are worth >$4 each, hit ebay or sell on Craig's List for an easy local transaction and help out someone who doesn't want to pay the $120+ shipping cost.

    Yer kidding right. Man 4 bucks for something I can make for about a dollar and a half or less. And I would be fuller from it too....

    And I second the notion for real food. If the purpose for getting the shakeology is to build muscle, the best way is to eat food. Not processed food but good old whole food.

    Let me tell you I have not been able to budge my weight since 2000. 2 children stressful job, menopause all caused me to become a stress eater. I turn 50 next year and truly I want to lose atleast 10 pounds. With each minor weight gain my self esteem secretly takes a hit.
    I thought shakeology or anything could just jumpstart my weightloss .Somethings got to give and I am in the quest to find it, in the meantime I will keep walking, drinking water and watch what I eat.Thanks to all for the input.

  • Shakeology is fantastic! It may be a bit pricey, but all the nutrition and benefits are worth it. It has not only helped me to break my weight loss plateau, but has aided my digestion!

    Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino
    1 scoop/packet of chocolate Shakeology, 1-1.5 cups cold brewed coffee, 1/4 cup non-fat milk, 1/8 tsp peppermints extract, tall glass of ice, and combine and blend until smooth.

    Butterfinger Blizzard
    1 scoop/packet of chocolate Shakeology, 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk (or regular skim milk),1/2 cup of water,1 tbsp of natural peanut butter, 1 tbsp Butterscotch Jell-O powder, tall glass of ice, and combine and blend until smooth.

    I do like Shakeology and think it has some great stuff in it for a quick meal replacement but it is sooo expensive, it's a shame.

    They do but maybe the OP got them from someone else or was past the 30 day return policy.
