A little over six months ago I started drinking a supplement called Shakeology. It's made by the company that makes P90X, INSANITY, etc. To put my opinion very simply: I love it! It's much more than just a protein shake or a weight loss shake. It offers nutrition that you can't find anywhere else.
First of all, it gives you all the vitamins you would get in a multivitamin. It also offers 17 grams of protein. There are vegan options that are made with brown rice protein instead of whey. Then it goes beyond that to offer blends of super-fruit/antioxidants, super-green/phytonutrients, adaptogens, and pre-and probiotic/digestive enzymes. Yeah, sounds like a lot of big, fancy words but these are things our bodies need. And, let's face it, most of us are not good at eating all the good foods we're supposed to every day. How many servings of fruits and veggies do you really get in a day? I know I don't eat enough of them. Shakeology gives me a head start on that with a few servings a day.
Granted, it's hard to use as a meal replacement with only 160 calories a serving. So, I usually make it with almond milk and add fruit and/or powdered peanut butter. That makes it very filling. I love it as a pre-workout snack. It gives me energy and also gives my immune system a nice boost.
I know this isn't a very scientific review, but I'm not a very scientific person. I love the way Shakeology makes me feel and that's what matters. I know it includes a blend of superfoods that you can't find in the grocery store. Drinking Shakeology is one of the best things I've ever done for my body. In fact, it's one of the driving factors that led me to becoming a Beachbody Coach. I wanted to be able to share this information with other people and help them lead healthier lives.
So, there's my opinion. If you want any more information on Shakeology, or to see the ingredients list, see my website here. Hope you all are having a fabulous week!
