What is Shakeology?

Shakeology has been a definite wellness tool for me in this journey of fitness and my husband's journey to get healthy and lose his weight. I have been very concerned for him for a long time because he has asthma and heart disease runs in his family. It is difficult to help someone to see their need to get healthy. They have to make the decision on their own that it is time once and for all to get rid of their unwanted pounds and get healthy. He works 50-60 hours per week and was dependent on soda and energy drinks to get him through his long days. I harped on him daily about how dangerous drinking those energy drinks were for his heart. It was of no use. It just made him mad and caused arguments. Although my intentions were from a good heart, he felt that I was nagging at him. He finally made the decision that he wanted to shed his weight. So, I told him that I had 21 Day Fix on its way and that we could do it together. He agreed. Yay! Changing to the clean eating way of life, as this is not a diet, was a big change, but has continued to give results. We then added Shakeology. Wow! What a difference. It stopped those cravings and the mid-afternoon crashes that he was experiencing. No more need for terrible energy drinks or soda. Shakeology is packed full of dense nutrition which is feeding our bodies what they are craving. When we combined the good nutrition with the 21 Day Fix workouts, the results have been amazing. He just weighed in under 200 lbs. It is exciting to see him regaining his health.

I also decided to become a Beachbody coach at the same time to get the 25% discount on the products. He is early in his transformation but, we have already come so far and we knew that we could help other people do the same thing. We love trying new Shakeology recipes and look forward each day to another shake. Shakeology is definitely helping us to regain our health, lose weight, and tighten & tone. My husband has his shake first thing in the morning for his wake up call, but I generally have mine post workout. It is my incentive after a hard workout. Currently, I am on the Eating Clean stripped plan so I'm mixing it with water and it tastes just as good that way too! Here is a little background on Shakeology to help you make a better informed decision.

Shakeology is more nutritious than a salad and tastes like a dessert!

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 I am a busy parent, and it is a quick and convenient way to get complete nutrition. It supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with 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 8 oz. of water. If you like, add ice. Or if you want something more filling and maybe even more satisfying, blend your Shakeology with ice and nonfat, almond, rice, or soy milk. Shakeology dissolves easily, but blending it will give it a thicker, creamier texture. Honestly, when I make my shakeology I always add more than 8 ounces because I think it's too thick! The more liquid you add the thinner it gets!!:)
