Shakeology is just AMAZING to begin with, but it's basically your morning/ pre workout/ post workout/ overall healthy shake to ensure you are getting the best results for fitness programs and the best shake for your overall health.
I heard about Shakeology through my boyfriends sister. I thought she was nuts, she was this health nut who was drinking a shake that she claimed was great, but I "knew" it was just like every other shake. Not to mention why would I want to spend that much money on a SHAKE. I didn’t even want to spend $7.00 on a package of slim fast because I thought that was just plain stupid. I thought all these drinks were a SCAM. Well then my sister started drinking it… I thought she was stupid too, but it interested me why she would fall for this scam. Out of plain curiosity I stole a scope from her the one day and it was really good but it didnt really impress me too much (I was a senior in high school. I liked all the gross greasy foods and foods loaded with sugar).
I had my mom buy me a bag but I still wasn't convinced. Until about a year ago, I started drinking it regularly and started to see what was so awesome about Shakeology. I started to see that Shakeology was better than all of the other shakes and drinks out there.
Shakeology is your daily serving of dense nutrition and vitamins. I know people who don't even use prenatal vitamins anymore because Shakeology is providing all of the vitamins they need!! Shakeology is a meal replacement shake. It has all your fruits, vegetables, proteins and vitamins, all in one shake. I don't know about you but I am a picky eater, I do not like eating 6 bowls of salad everyday. AND GUESS WHAT??? I don't have to eat 6 bowls of salad to be considered healthy. I drink my shake and all the work is done for me!! SWEEET!
I have to talk about how awesome Beachbody is really quick. They are constantly thinking about the customers and creating products that will benefit their customers. Beachbody has also created Shakeology to have no gluten, there is vegan Shakeology anddddd they have multiple flavors to appeal to everyone. Did you know the only reason it doesnt have an organic stamp on it is because if Beachbody put that stamp on there, they would have to jack up the prices. Again, Beachbody is thinking about the customer, they dont want you spending an arm and a leg on products.
So here is where people start to get discouraged... the price. You may think it sounds like a lot of money up front but you need to start looking at it this way.
You are buying a month's worth of product up front!
The shakes are about $4 for one shake.
The shake is replaced for a meal.
You are having all the nutrients you need, in one meal.
Seriously, go out and try to find all this food. All these vitamins, nutrients and super foods from other countries. It would take you forever to find it all and make it taste good. Beachbody has already done all the work for you, they have found all these nutrients, mixed them together and created a formula that is incredible.
So here it is people!!! This is what Shakeology has done for me!
- It helped me lose weight. Once I started drinking Shakeology consistently and replacing a meal a day with it, I lost 12.5, dropped a pant size and kept the weight off.
- In just 2 years time my hair grew like CRAZY.
- It has cleared up my ache. I remember complaining to a family friend about how broke out my face was and she told me to try Proactive. I was almost disgusted that she told me to try it because I couldn't believe my face had gotten so bad so quickly. I now don't need to use Proactive anymore! Hallelujah!!
- And lastly, this one is the most important. I believe that I was depressed, yes you read it depressed. Although I didn't go to the doctors and get diagnosed, I had signs and reason that lead me to think I was. I felt like I had no purpose, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, I was stressed every single day and every single second of the day. For weeks on end I would wake up crying, cry throughout the day and go to bed crying, and no one could help me. I had no clue why or what was going on with me and I started to worry myself. After about 3 weeks of drinking Shakeology--I woke up happy! I realized I did have a purpose, I started viewing life differently and started to see all the positive things in my life instead of the negative.
So that's just a couple of my reasons why I love Shakeology. Here is a little video to explain more about
Ya know you should give it a shot, what is it going to hurt? At the end of he 30 days of your drinking it, if you feel like it has done nothing for you, return it and get your money back.
Sometimes taking that first step of buying a product is scary, but look at it as an investment in yourself and your health.
Who doesnt like Reese's?
I know that when they are in my house they get eaten so quickly.
So I decided to make a healthy version of Reese's, this way when I eat one, I dont feel guilty.
Ohh and did I mention, you need 4 ingredients and it takes less that 10 minutes to make!!
What you need:
2 tbsp Coconut oil
4 tbsp Chocolate Shakeology
2 tbsp PB2
2 tsp water
Step 1:
Heat up coconut oil for 30 seconds in the microwave.
Step 2:
Add in your Shakeology and stir.
Step 3:
Mix your PB2 and water.
Step 4:
Poor Shakeology mixture into the bottom of cupcake wrappers (we only had normal cupcake wrappers, but when you make this yourself, get the mini wrappers).
Poor some of your peanut butter mixture.
Lastly, finish with your top layer of Shakeology mixture.
So I made the Reese's and of course wanted to try them to give you my honest review of how they turned out.
I put way too much chocolate in them. Ya know how normal Reese's have more Peanut Butter than they do chocolate? Well mine were opposite. So next time I need to change that. If you like a lot of chocolate, it might not bother you as much, but for me... I am not a chocolate LOVER.
Second--- I am a PEANUT BUTTER FREAK, and I didnt the PB2 was strong enough, you could taste it, but it was really a faint taste. So the next time I make them, I am going to use almond butter instead!!
I think I am going to make these sometime this week with the changes I think will help!!
**I am on the hunt for the mini cupcake wrappers, so let me know if you find any!!
Sea Salt Caramel Shakeology Recipe
If you are anything like me, you LOVE sweet treats. Honestly every night after dinner, I want something sweet (I take after my mom)!!! There are so many times, I want to drive to our local store, Wegmans and get their delicious Sugar Cookies, they are literally to die for!! But lets be honest, those cookies dont love me back and its not worth eating one cookie and ruining a whole weeks worth of healthy eating.
A couple months ago I found this recipe and decided I needed to try it out for myself.
I actually am drinking it as we speak! Today is my first time trying it!!!
So here is how I feel about Sea Salt Caramel Shakeology!!!
Honestly, I wasnt expecting it to taste much caramel because to me chocolate Shakeology is a strong chocolate taste and I am really not much of a chocolate person, so I dont really drink the chocolate Shakeology much. But, this recipe, you can TOTALLY taste the caramel and the chocolate doesnt taste as strong!
I downed my shakeology this morning it was so good!
Here is the Recipe!!!!!
Im not really a person who measures, so just bare with me!!
Im not really a person who measures, so just bare with me!!
- 6 ice cubes
- 1 scoop of chocolate shakeology
- 1 splash of caramel extract (I read somewhere that people were having a hard time finding the caramel extract, but I found my at good ole WALMART)
- Put all your ingredients in the blender, and start putting water in the blender until it fills up a little past all your ingredients. (I told you I didnt measure, haha)
- Blend it all together!!!
- Pour it into your cup and sprinkle a little sea salt on the top of your Shakeology!!!
