When I signed up to be a coach I didn't really plan to use Shakeology. I had never tried it before and I really was just so sold by the workouts that I didn't think buying the shakes would really add that much more to my new lifestyle.
But it all kind of came with the territory and I thought I may as well give them a try to see what they were like. I ordered the cafe latte, because according to research I had done that flavor along with chocolate was their biggest sellers. And I like coffee.
It came quicker than expected and I was super excited to try it. It was a little strong on flavor. The first mixture I tried was using just unsweetened almond milk and I've now been adding water along with that to cut down the strong flavor. I sometimes add oats, frozen bananas, mint extract (careful with this one, a drop or two will do. I learned that the hard way) or peanut butter. But there are loads of recipes if you search around.
You can change your flavor with the HD (home direct) ordering, which is a monthly autoship. Next month I'll be looking foward to the combo pack. It will contain vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. I thought I should try all the flavors before settling on one so I can give as much input as I can if someone asks me about them.
My own personal benefits I have come across this past week drinking shakeology were actually more than I expected. I've been drinking it for breakfast and to do this I add oats and peanut butter to give it more of a filling effect and to make it more like a meal beacuse the shake isn't made to be a meal replacement. On the meal plans provided by Beachbody they show the shake as a snack. Adding the oats and peanut butter will fill me up for the better part of the moring. Seeing as you should be eating every 2 to 3 hours while on an intense exercise program, I think that's a pretty good benefit.
The other thing I have noticed is the energy it gives me. I used to be a coffee in the morning and a coffee after lunch type of person to keep me going all day, but this last week I haven't had coffee once and I can honestly say I don't miss it. Energy wise that is.
Shakeology also has 5 grams of fiber per serving, which a lot of protein powders can't say. This also helps with cravings and other digestive benefits.
When you break the price of shakeology down it's $4.33 a day. Most of us spend that on lunch while at work or multiple times that amount going out to dinner just once a week. If you're on the road to a healthier lifestyle and cut out those things, Shakeology monthly is completely doable. And if you sign on as a coach it's a 25% discount.
With that being said, I would also like to add that I look forward to my Shakeology every morning and I am a little sad when it's gone. If you'd like to check out what's in this Shakeology drink I keep talking about, I've dropped a little info below to break it down for ya.
