What is Shakeology?


Did you know that weight loss is only 20% exercise and 80% nutrition? What you put into your body plays a huge part in whether or not you’re able to lose the weight that you want to. Beachbody has a meal replacement drink called Shakeology that makes it easy to get all of the nutrients that your body needs. According to the Shakeology Product Training Guide,

“Shakeology® is the most delicious, nutrient-dense, superfood-packed protein shake on the planet. It’s made with the healthy stuff you should be eating every day, but typically don’t. Shakeology’s the perfect combination of proteins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics. Plus, it also contains many rare ingredients, including adaptogens, camu-camu, and sacha inchi—things we can’t get from an ordinary diet. So whether you use Shakeology for weight loss, or drink it to optimize your health, this powerful and delicious shake is Your Daily Dose of Dense NutritionTM.”

Shakeology comes in several flavors- chocolate, vegan chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, vegan tropical strawberry, and greenberry. You can mix it up with water or milk, but from my experience, milk tastes a whole lot better! I typically use almond milk and blend in a couple of bananas to thicken it up.

Shakeology is sold either in a bag with 30 servings, or in a box that contains 24 individual packets. Each bag/box costs $129.99 and will last for about a month. The packets are perfect for people who want to be able to mix up a shake away from home, but you don’t get as many servings for your money because you end up paying for the extra packaging. You can sign up for home direct shipping, which means that a new bag of Shakeology will be automatically mailed to you at the same time each month. The shipping cost for home direct customers is only $2!
