Shakeology

My most commonly asked question:

What is Shakeology and how does it differ from other "protein shakes"?

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 (like most) or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.

“At just over $4 per serving (even less as a preferred customer!), Shakeology is an incredible value. Each serving packs up to 17g of protein per serving along with whole-food nutrition from some of the most nutrient-dense superfoods on the planet. This combination of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, phytonutrients and rare adaptogens is unparalleled. Beachbody is exceptionally proud of the benefits Shakeology delivers. Beachbody makes great efforts to ensure the high quality and purity of ingredients when all of this is factored in, the value is truly impressive."

Each serving contains the same nutritional value as:

3 cups of romaine lettuce
4 cups of raw mushrooms
1 shot of wheat grass
1 bowl of exotic fruit
3 raw onions
7 raw carrots
4 cups of non-fat yogurt
4 cups of red radishes
4 cups of raw broccoli
1 cup of peas AS WELL AS
10 cups of cauliflower

The kicker? It doesn't taste like it has all of those things in it!

To be honest I was a huge sceptic of Shakeology. I thought it was just another weight loss supplement that didn't really do anything for me but boy was I wrong! It has helped me with cravings, it is a quick go to meal for when I am in a hurry between work and school, and it taste AMAZING!

It is not only convenient and easy to make but replaces a meal per day while increasing energy, improving digestion, reducing cravings, making you feel full longer by reducing hunger, allowing you to get your daily nutrients (equivalent of 5 salads!), helping with promoting health of hair, skin, and nails, promoting a strong immune system, protecting the body from stress, balancing hormones... all while building and repairing muscles.

While chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cafe latte and greenberry Shakeology include whey protein isolate (an easily absorbable source of high-quality protein that’s ideal for building and maintaining lean muscle mass), tropical strawberry and vegan chocolate include high-quality plant proteins from brown rice, pea, and other sources. Essential amino acids, found in these proteins, help the body repair muscle tissue and heal wounds; and reduce hunger pangs. The protein in all Shakeology products provides a highly bioavailable source of essential amino acids.

The prebiotics, natural components of certain plants, help support the “friendly” bacteria in your digestive tract.

Probiotics are strains of live good bacteria that help with the digestive process. They assist the body in absorbing nutrients and minerals, bring an overall balance to the digestive tract, and help support the immune system.

Digestive enzymes, from sources such as pineapples and papayas, help your body break down food into its individual components, making the nutrients easier to absorb.

Adaptogens are special herbs that grow in harsh climates and conditions, at high elevations, atop mountains where the soil is rocky and oxygen in the air is thin. Because these plants have to adapt to harsh conditions, they have highly concentrated nutrients that can help your body cope with stress, provide energy, and maintain a strong immune system.
Shakeology has a total of 9 adaptogens – more than any other shake out there.

With Shakeology, you get a wide range of essential nutrients as well as your necessary vitamins every day which makes up for dietary deficiencies. Most of us don’t get the complete range of essential vitamins and minerals in our daily diets. Some important vitamins, such as vitamin B and C vitamins, are water-soluble, meaning they’re flushed out of your body after a short time and need to be replenished regularly. Others, like vitamin E, can be difficult to get enough of in food. Shakeology chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and greenberry provide all these nutrients in an easy-to-take form, so you never have to worry. (Tropical Strawberry and Vegan Chocolate do not have the vitamin and mineral ingredients added.)

Many of Shakeology’s fruit and vegetable sources have been chosen for their high concentration of healthy natural substances known as phytonutrients, including flavonoids, polyphenols, anthocyanins, and catechins. These substances have antioxidant properties, meaning they help neutralize molecules known as free radicals, which damage cells and may contribute to the aging process. In laboratory tests, phytonutrients have shown promise in helping prevent a wide variety of degenerative conditions. It also decreases inflammation and decreases the risk of degenerative diseases.
