Shakeology is best described as a "healthy meal in a glass." It is a nutritional supplement that is commonly used as a meal replacement. However, while it is often marketed as a meal replacement shake, it can also be used as a daily healthy supplement. I enjoy drinking it as a meal replacement. It's helped me lose weight already as well as give me energy when I am tired.
What is in Shakeology?
There are 70 ingredients to include the standard vitamins and minerals such as A, B, C, D, E, K, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and more. While it is not a protein shake, it does contain protein as well as essential amino acids. My favorite ingredients can be found in the proprietary super-fruit blend. The super-fruit blend is antioxidant heaven. It includes ingredients such as:
- camu-camu
- pomegranate
- bilberry
- blueberry
- goji berry
- acai
The shake also contains wheat grass, barley grass, oat grass, and flax seed! I can't list every single ingredient here, however, it would be difficult to find one product that contains all of those ingredients at all.
I have done my own research by visiting a popular nutritonal supplement stores and asking about their meal replacement products. Most were geared towards protein consumption and lacked vitamins. I didn't find any which contained antioxidants the way Shakeology does.
Other Benefits
Besides all of the healthy ingredients, it is very useful in helping users reach their weight loss goals. I myself have lost 50 lbs! It is often used as a meal replacement and I can say from experience that it does help to make you feel satisfied. According to a 90-day study, other benefits can include increased energy, reduced risk of heart disease, and lowered cholesterol.
Things to Keep in Mind
Shakeology comes in two flavors: chocolate and greenberry. I haven't tried greenberry but the chocolate flavor is delicious. You can even try your own recipes by adding frozen fruit, peanut butter, or whatever you like. Not everyone likes the flavor but from personal experience, everyone that I have let sample the shake thought it tastes great. Blending only milk and ice closely resembles the taste of the ever so popular frosty dairy desert from Wendy's. Which on my diet I can no longer have.
Price is another factor in whether or not to try it. It is important to keep in mind the ingredients used as well as the price, breaks down to a 30-day supply. You are sent a 30 day supply, in which 1 serving is calculated per day. It averages out to $3 - $4 per serving. Compare that to what most people spend on coffee or so-called healthy juice smoothies which aren't nearly as healthy.
