Shakeology Review

I've been drinking Shakeology for a few months and I really, honestly, love it. I've never given it a review though. So, I thought now would be a good time.

First things first, options!

You can order Shakeology from Beachbody or a Beachbody representative (Coach). OR you can save 25 percent by becoming a coach yourself. If you want to know more about that, feel free to message me or leave a comment.

There are two flavors of Shakeology - Chocolate and Greenberry. You can get it in bags, or individual packets and you have have it automatically shipped to your house every month. Shakeology has more than 70 healthy ingredients that make it an ideal meal replacement. Visit the website for more about that. http://myshakeology.com/esuite/home/ginn81

So, the Chocolate, I have to say, is AWESOME. It's really good all by itself. I LOVE it with peanut butter and bananas. SOOO GOOD!

The Greenberry.. well. You have to try to make it taste good. At least I do. It has a very typical grassy aftertaste that you find in a lot of green health drinks. Go for the chocolate. The website has a ton of really awesome recipes to make it even more interesting.

I've been drinking it for months and I notice that I have more energy; it's actually pretty filling; I don't have cravings for sweets as much anymore and my hair, nails, and skin looks better. I do tons of stuff with it, too. I make pancakes, fudgecicles, brownies, protein balls, and ice cream just to name a few things. It's such a versatile and healthy product, I really can't think of a better supplement.

Have fun.... responsibly!

I tell people all the time to do what is fun for them when it comes to exercise. I realized that advice is fundamentally flawed. It makes it easy to ignore exercise or make excuses. It makes it easy to say, "I don't have time." "I'm tired." "I can't afford it." Having fun isn't a major responsibility. Caring for one's body IS a responsibility. It is not something you can overlook. You only get one body and it's your job to take care of it. So exercise ... and WHEN you exercise, do something you enjoy.

It holds true that most people will not continue exercise when it isn't fun. SOME people will because they realize that it's important. But most people, especially those just starting out, will not. For a lot of people, exercise, in general, isn't fun. So for those people it's particularly important that they realize how much they need it and how much their body enjoys it.

Like Nike says...

JUST DO IT!
