Why I chose Shakeology

I wanted to clear up any questions that people may have about Shakeology and share my reasons for drinking it.  It has changed my life!  For even more info check out my Beachbody Coach page

1.  My why.
This is the video that started it all for me.

When I watched my friend, Kimberly Wynn's story I felt like she was talking about me (except for the appendectomy and adhesion part).  I had been struggling with gastrointestinal issues for YEARS.  After much debate, I finally decided to try out Shakeology.  I decided to jump in head first and sign up as a coach.  I told my husband that if I didn't make enough as a coach in 3 months then I would quit.  It paid off in one month!!!  Now, my husband is also drinking it and we both have more energy, feel better, perform better and, in my opinion, look better.

2. What sets Shakeolgy apart from other shakes is that it's a meal replacement
Shakeology  is an entire MEAL REPLACEMENT.  That is, if you were to go through the salad bar 5 times.  I love this video: Tony Horton "checks out" Shakeology.  Okay, the lady is a little bit scary, but I love Tony!  He is a nut!!!  Seriously, there is no way that I can get all of those superfoods into my daily diet.  I love fruit and I tolerate vegetables, but sometimes I get tired of trying to figure out how to get them all into my daily meal plan.  I often drink Shakeology to replace my lunch or dinner. I count it toward one of my servings of vegetables for the day and I feel pretty darn good about that.

3. It's perfect for on the go!
I had someone ask me if Jamba Juice was a good snack when you are out running errands.  I would say-no!  Check out not only the difference in cost, but also sugars, carbs and calories.  This one is a no-brainer.  I carry a packet of Shakeology in my purse at all times for emergencies.  I never know when a few errands will turn into the whole afternoon.  I can just dump the packet into my water bottle and I have a nutritious, convenient snack.




4.  It is cost effective when compared to buying each of these ingredients separately!

Most of the ingredients in Shakeology you can't even find in a regular grocery store.  You would have to go to a specialty food store for them.  The difference in the cost is crazy too.  Plus it's hard to always find everything in season or fresh, not to mention organic. I am super busy, but I also want to get the best bang for my buck.  That's what Shakeology is.  I found it to be the greatest value in nutrition.  This video shows how the developers of Shakeology have traveled the world to find the ingredients.

5.  It is not a protein powder.

Shakeology does have about 16 grams of protein per serving, but it is not just a protein powder.  I used protein powders for years.  I never really felt like they were benefiting my health in any way.  Actually, when I quit them I instantly felt so much better.  I'm sure that it helped that I started Shakeology soon after I finished my last bag of protein powder, but the difference was very noticeable.



6.  I have more energy and less cravings.
Within 10 days of starting to drink a daily serving of Shakeology, I no longer had the "drag-butts" at 3 pm.  I was able to quit drinking pop and never look back.  I still have a sweet tooth, but it has decreased drastically.  I also lost a few pounds quickly after starting it, without changing anything else.
