SHAKEOLOGY - HERE'S THE 411

Shakeology has been a game changer for me!  I have tried other meal replacement shakes before, but they never did what I wanted them to do.  I was always starving within an hour of drinking them and I never lost weight.  Shakeology is different. The shakes keep me full until the next meal, curbs my cravings, and I have energy that I have never had before!  My digestion is so much better and it has helped me lose weight!  Shakeology really is the healthiest meal of my day!

I received my Shakeology order and my first shake I blended 1 cup almond milk, banana, and a cup of frozen berries.  I got better at mixing the shakes as the days went on and now they taste amazing.  I drink my shake for either breakfast or lunch.  You can make it however you would like.  My favorite is mixing it with almond milk, peanut butter powder, banana and ice.  MMMMM!!!!!!

What is Shakeology?
Shakeology is a nutritional protein shake that provides a wide spectrum of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula.  Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.

What's in it?
Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet.  It's good for you, and good for everyone, because everyone's diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving.
 
Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.

Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.

Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.

Phytonutrients support immune function and have anit-inflammatory properties.

Prebiotics support digestive and immune health.

Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.

What can Shakeology do for you?
It is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be.  Shakeology can help you reduce cravings and promote healthy digestion and regularity. Shakeology recommends that you replace one meal per day with a shake along with regular exercise and a balanced diet.  It can reduce your total cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular risk, and reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

Why Shakeology?
I love Shakeology because it is a quick and convenient way to get complete nutrition.  It supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with work, the kids and my hectic lifestyle.  It is also easier to make and tastier than a salad, and it is an excellent way to eat healthy when eating a full meal is not possible.  If you don't like eating fruits and vegetables then this is a great way to get all the benefits of eating a full bowl of fruits and vegetables without having to actually eat them.  If you have high cholesterol then this will help you lower total and LDL as well.

How to use it.
It's very simple.
Mix 1 scoop of Shakeology with 1/2 cup of almond milk and 3/4 cup of water.  If you like, add 1 cup of ice.  I also like to add 1/2 a banana and depending on the flavor, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter....mmmmmmmmm!
