Shakeology

Shakeology is in a league all of its own. For me, it makes me feel like a million bucks and it tastes good. Umm.. win win! HOWEVER, it took me a while before I would ever even give it a chance. I have never been a 'shake' person… ever. I don't put chemicals into my body and I truly believe that nutrients from food are our best source of nutrition. So, closed minded I was when I was told about Shakeology. But, I was stuck at a weight loss plateau, I constantly felt tired and I was sick of cooking 5-6 meals a day for not only myself, but for my family. So, research I did. I quickly realized that Shakeology was not a chemical filled weight loss drink like most of the rest. Shakeology's ingredients are PURE. After researching each ingredient (and there are over 70!!) I realized that each on was a REAL FOOD. There is no harmful additives, no preservatives, no sugars, no soy, no CRAP in it! And I noticed that most of the ingredients are root/plant based and I am all about preventative medicine!

So, I gave it a whirl and holy cow! WHY didn't I use it long ago? I also signed up to be a coach at the same time so I could get a 25% discount on it. I have had my Shakeology every single day for 8 months now and I have never felt better. I am full for 3 hours, I have energy (without any caffeine I might add!!), I don't get headaches anymore, my skin isn't dry, my digestion is so much better and the list goes on. Basically, I am a mom and a teacher who is constantly on the go. I need a meal that is healthy, one that I don't have to worry about and one that I can grab and go when I am racing out the door with my girl. This is IT.

The nutrients from it properly fueled my body and boosted my metabolism. Shakeology has changed that 100%. Well, this has been my saving grace! I made my first shake with a banana, all natural almond butter, skim milk and a scoop of chocolate Shakeology with ice and blended in a blender. IT WAS AMAZING! I drank a big glass of water with it and I was full for at least 3 hours. I had a ton of energy to complete my workout and keep up with my 2 year old! I have been drinking it for lunch every day and in a week I dropped another 2 pounds!

I wasn’t the type of person to drink my meals but this is yummy and filling too! As a busy parent this is an easy way for me to grab a healthy meal and jump in the car and head to the work or park and not worry about what I am going to eat. I don’t want to eat that fast food when I have a milkshake in hand.
