Have you heard of Shakeology? If you are friends with me on facebook or follow me on instagram, I know you have :) But anyways, Beachbody calls it a nutrient dense shake. They say have it once a day for 30 days & you will be healthier....when I first heard that I was a little skeptical, I won't lie. But I was ready for a change in my health so I decided to give it a try anyways! The idea of drinking a shake that was dense in nutrients, was quick/convenient to make && was CHOCOLATE was very appealing to me personally! I made it the first 30 days drinking it once a day, felt amazing, could tell my body was healthier & I was in love!
Shakeology helped me:
*Feel more energized && definitely not sluggish...even on days where I don't get quite enough sleep & spend my day with 11+ 4 year olds!
*Fight cravings---> I have an extremely large sweet tooth. I'm talking ridiculous sweet tooth....Chris picks on me because I would rather not eat my whole dinner & then stuff my face with anything sugary. If it's around me....I will eat it. BUT when I drink my shake, I have almost no urge at all to eat sugary treats. Even if they are around, I can turn them down. Without my shakeology though, I literally pounce on sweets like a lion on her prey....it's not pretty.
*Lose weight & keep it off
*Improve my mood & mood swings---> it makes me feel so much better mentally, it's like my brain has the right nutrients & has more of an "UP" feeling. Even if I'm in a crummy funk of a mood...Shakeology helps!
*Grow stronger/healthier nails & hair...my hair used to grow soooooo incredily slow. BUT since I have started drinking Shakeology on the daily, my hair has started growing faster & is stronger! My nails....let's not even get started on how awful those bad boys used to be. They were flaky, brittle & didn't grow much either. But again, now that I started drinking Shakeology daily, my nails grow quickly & are stronger!
*Keeps me full longer---> I stay full for hours at a time after I have my shake :)
I know that I said there is Chocolate, and chocolate is definitely my favorite...BUT there are other flavors too that are just as good! Here are the flavors in order from MY favorite to least favorite:
-Chocolate(Delicious)
-Strawberry(Yummy & refreshing)
-Vanilla(Tastes like cake batter..mmm)
-Vegan Chocolate (new formula...better than the old one! But the protein they use in it makes it a little gritty)
-Vegan Tropical (Same with the other vegan, the vegan protein they use makes it a little gritty...can be taken away when blended up with a frozen banana!)
-Greenberry(Not a fan of it plain with water, BUT it's good blended up with frozen berries!)
I LOVE trying a bunch of different recipes, but this is my all time favorite & the one I make most often:
Chocolate PB Dream
-1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
-2 tbsp all natural crunchy PB (smooth is fine too)
-1 to 2 cups of almond milk
-Ice (to taste...I use 7-8 cubes )
---Blend it all up & ENJOY!
You want to get healthy right? I mean...honestly, why else would you be reading this? So here's the deal: You could spend hundreds & hundreds of dollars trying to re-create Shakeology on your own with all of the ingredients OR you can save with it ALL in ONE bag of Shakeology ;)
