Shakeology

I didn't want it to be great. I wanted to be able to look at my coach and say:

It was gross.
It didn't work.
I didn't lose any weight.
It was complicated.


But that's not what happened. 

It tastes amazing!!!!! Yes, I've tried them all. My husband described the Greenberry (which I was the most unsure about beforehand) as fruitloops... the milk you drink out the bowl of fruitloops. He's totally right!! The chocolate is my favorite, but vanilla is very versatile. Strawberry is like drinking strawberry Nesquik.  Yum.

Shakeology is a meal replacement shake. It's not a protein powder. You could drink it on it's own with just water and ice and you would be full for hours. It's quick and easy. There are great recipes you can find anywhere (hello Pinterest!) but it really is great on its own. It has great hunger blockers and high fiber. The best impartial review I found online is this one.

I lost weight. I was full for hours. You know how when you're trying to eat healthy and you just can't stop craving all the junk you normally eat. Yeah, it's painful. It usually takes at least a week for your body to adjust. Not with Shakeology. Within 2 days I don't crave sugar or junk. I get my chocolate fix from drinking the shake and I really don't crave anything else. No rough withdrawal week for me!

It makes my life easier. Example:This morning was crazy. My daughter was up all night teething. I slept in and missed my morning routine of breakfast. I had an hour to be ready for work. I wasn't worried. I pulled out my Magic Bullet, threw in some ice, 8 oz of almond milk and 1 scoop of Shakeology. Boom. Done. And I'm headed out the door. This stuff makes it to where I have one less thing to think about.

The price is what gets most people who have asked me about it. At just over $4 a serving, I sat down and priced out how much I spend on lunch everyday and Shakeology was cheaper. My mocha at Starbucks was more expensive. I cut out coffee, quit buying tons of things for lunch and moved somethings around in my budget to make it work. That's how much I fell in love with this stuff. It's worth my money. Everyday.
