Hi there everyone!
Sooooooooooo......here's my question to those who know anything about Shakeology. I'm looking for honesty. I could read reviews on the Beach Body webside but I'm sure they'd all be one sided. And I'm really not looking for anyone to sell me anything.
What do you think about Shakeology? I don't eat veggies or fruit very much at all. I don't have a healthy diet. I'm a junk food junky. I am exercising though (Turbo Fire) and love it. But my diet SUCKS! My Beachbody coach is wonderful (WADE BOND) and he is really encouraging me to try the Shakeology. Here's the thing though:
1. Does it really work (not that I doubt my coach, but hey the more info the better)
2. I'm from Canada so I'm wondering if I'll have to pay duty on it.
3. Is it worth the $$$$ (trying to justify it)
So if you've tried it, please let me know what you think (good or bad)
Thanks a bunch fellow MFP's!!!!

I tried shakeology once I became a coach and I will tell you that it is amazing! In a week I was already getting flatter in my tummy area which I have always had a problem with and I had a ton more energy! I got the chocolate flavor one and now I don't have the need for sweets as I use to. It does reduce cravings and makes your diet much easier to follow cuz you won't want the junk as i have also had a problem with. An within a week I already lost 1-.5 inches all over. I'm still doing my first 30 day and it Taste great! My husband even wants it now cuz he see the results it has done for me. And I have also been doing turbo fire!
I really do think it's worth the money cuz in just one week you will noticed a difference in how you feel.0 -
Good insight! I think I'll try it!0

I've tried Shakeology and I couldn't even swallow the green one !!!!GROSS!!! The chocolate one was like thick sugar free chocolate syrup mixed in water, I couldn't finish the packet. Sure it has everything in it, but if you can't drink it what's the point? You can buy like 3 or 4 packets on ebay pretty cheap ($5+) and see if you like it.. If it tasted good they wouldn't need to sell it in large quantities, because people other than the coaches would buy it again.0
-
My sister in law and mother in law used to use it. They both say they taste awful! Good luck if you do try it.0
-
I couldn't stick with something that tastes awful. Funny though, my couch (and a few other couches on YouTube) screamed about how great it tastes and everyone needs to try it blah blah blah. I think I'll just stick to my Special K Vanilla shakes for now.0

I think it tastes good. Everyone has different tastes but it's worth trying. The new flavor strawberry tropical comes on feb 14th. And for shakeology it all depends on how you make it. You do get different recipes so you can make it taste better of you don't like the plain taste. I made pb$j and it actually tasted like a sandwich. Look at how many ppl like that nasty chocolate peanut butter nutlia. That stuff is gross. Everyone now a days is used to getting bad food that when something healthy comes along they don't like it cuz it doesn't have the greasy taste. It all depends one what you like in the end0

You shut your mouth, Nutella is one of the greatest things ever0 -
The chocolate one is my favorite, mixed with a tbs of sun butter. Yum!0

I have been using Shakeology for almost a year now (not every single day, but a lot). I acutally couldn't tell much difference until recently when I was sick, and on the days I didn't have my shakeology I felt worst.
With drinking I do not take any other supplements.
I just recently learned that ALL of the ingredients are natural and that Carl Diekler (Beachbody CEO) actually pays people to inspect all of the incoming ingredients to ensure the best quality.
You can ask your coach to show you the DVD on Shakeology, and on it it shows you what you would have to eat on a daily basis to get the same nutrition in one scoop of Shakeology. You should check it out. I was amazed! and I have been getting it ever since. So, yes, part of the reason I became a coach is to get the discount.
Edit to add: Another thing I like about Shakeology is I can use as a meal replacement (when I add fat free milk and a nut butter), a snack, or a recovery drink. And come to think of it, THERE IS a 100% money back guarantee if you don't like it even if you finish the whole bag.0 -
Visalus > Shakeology0

I did a lot of research. I did try the Shakeology once, had to pay for the sample and it was beyond gross. I use Ideal Shape Shake. It works and is delicious. It is half the price and the customer support is excellent. I definitely recommend this. Shakeology is so overrated, pricey and horrible. Good Luck.0 -
Question: Why do you need a coach to buy a beverage? Is it kind of like an old school tupperware party? Like all I wanted was a set of bowls, and somehow I'm talked into selling bowls?0
-
I thought it taste horrible and its a huge waste of money. Why both when you can buy a good protein powder and/or good greens blend and make it yourself. Gimmick. All it takes is a little research on your own.0
-
My diet isn't perfect either. But I found that if I do Turbo Jam (which I try to do daily), and replace one meal with Shakeology even though the other meals aren't all that healthy, I still lose weight. The green Shakeology tastes awful to me. But I do love the chocolate one. I mix mine in a blender with milk and banana. It tastes really good. Plus supplies all of the nutrition I don't get throughout the day.0

hahaha i concur with this gentleman!0 -
All you need to do is get a juicer and get fresh vegetables and fruits and start juicing taste way better then that crap and works a whole lot better 10 days and you will be amazed.0

I think it's a total marketing con. Luckily this shake craze simply hasn't happened in the UK.0

Please stop lying to people, Shakeology is not all natural nor does it use the best quality of ingredients0 -
I've been using Shakeology for a few weeks now. I have the Greenberry type. I have to tell you that if you drink it straight (just with water) it is NASTY!!!!! However, if you add fruit and/or juice it does taste better. But that will add more calories to the drink, so be careful. I tried the chocolate packet once, but didnt like it as it was too thick. I'm excited to try the new Strawberry flavor, hopefully that will be better. I've been working out with P90X and Insanity and have lost 7 lbs in less than 2 weeks, but I woldnt say that is because of Shakeology. I got great results a few years ago and didnt use Shakeology. But I do feel like I have more energy, so maybe it's helping??? I'm willing to give it a go for a month and I'll post about my feels/results.0
-
You don't have to have a coach,, you can go order yourself,,, I'd say, try it for yourself! I personally love shakeology but, not everyone is the same! Shakeology tastes amazing compared to several other things I've tried but, I don't think this is a question you can ask others to answer for you, everyone is going to have different opinions . The shakes speak for themselves, more energy (natural with out a bunch of extra vitamins and additives)0
-
The greenberry is disgusting and the chocolate is okay. I got wrapped up in the whole Beachbody coach thing and regret it now. It is very expensive and not worth it in my mind.0

Repeating something that I hear from a trusted and knowledgable friend does not make me a liar. I may be wrong but that still does not make me a liar.
You have a good day.0 -
I am doing shakology now too. I had the same questions you did and for 2 months baggered my friends who were doing and researched it before I tried it. I so far am liking it and am feeling good about getting the nutrients without taking all the vitamins and stuff. I like the chocolate and the greenberry but alot of my friends aren' t fans of the greenberry. I use the shakology in the mornings and one for a snack. It has helped me so far lose 4 lbs. I am doing the cleanse now and can get back to you about that result in 2 more days if you want. I have done it for 2 wks now and again like it.0
-
I actually tried shakeology.... I personally thought they were gross. I now mix visalus shakes, which are great, along with arbonne protein shakes, and it's definitely doing the job, plus I have a tooooon of energy all of a sudden lol0
-
I drank Shakeology for a couple months until I was pregnant and couldn't stomach it anymore :P Alone both flavors are pretty gross, but if you add fruit, PB, milk, etc. to the packet and blend with ice they can be good (I wouldn't say Greenberry was ever GOOD, but fruit made it more tolerable). Honestly, I was on it b/c at the time I was coaching, and could get it cheaper, plus with people I coached on it, I got a kickback on their purchase so I wasn't paying nearly the price non-coachs pay, so it was worth it. I think it helped with sugar cravings and maybe gave me more energy, but I was also doing P90X and walking 4 miles a day, so maybe my healthier lifestyle all over was the reason I was feeling better? I didn't actually lose weight while on (I had already lost 30 pounds in 3 months just eating better and exercising), but maybe b/c I was closer to my goal and its harder to get those last few pounds off? Like i said though, when I became pregnant it started making me sick to drink even half a scoop, so I dropped it, and then dropped coaching b/c my coaches above me were being too pushy and I'm not a pushy person, even if it means I could make money on people I coached buying Shakeology
If your diet is really not healthy, it may be worth it to drink it as a meal replacement, even if all the ingredients are not all natural (as an above posted stated) it has good stuff , and may help with your health and energy levels, and may even help with your junk food cravings!!! I dont believe canadians pay extra, but I'm not sure. I would say give it a try if you are really interested. If it doesn't work for you, they do have the bottom of the bag guarantee, and you can get send it back and get your money back (minus the shipping cost). Or ask your coach if he/she sends out samples, so you can at least taste it (one time won't give you insight into energy boosts or anything, but at least you could see flavor). Good luck! 0
