Shakeology

I'm a shake person. I admit, the idea of getting a bunch of protein, and vitamins in a quick, portable formula has ALWAYS appealed to me! As a busy mom with twins, it was easy for me to put my focus on feeding them, and then remembering, "oh wait, I haven't had lunch today. Oh, and I only had a banana for breakfast too!" NOT GOOD! So when it comes to protein shakes, I have tried just about EVERY one out there, and Shakeology is far and away the only one I have truly loved!

When I started making Shakeology a daily part of my nutrition, I decided to have it for breakfast since that was the meal I struggled the most to a) remember to eat, and b) eat healthy. I did a lot of research on the product beforehand and was really impressed with the natural ingredients, plant based sweeteners, and sustainably sourced ingredients. And the fact I could get it in Chocolate flavor, and get to have healthy chocolate for breakfast (to help with my chocolate cravings too) was a WIN! So I signed up to Coach and get my Shakeology at a 25% discount, and made it a part of my daily routine.

I soon discovered my favorite way to make the shakes- with almond milk, water, 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology, 2 TB of PB2, and lots of ice. Blended until creamy, my new favorite meal only takes about 2 minutes to make, and costs me just $3 a day! Since I started having Shakeology every day, I've been able to lose that stubborn muffin top, my cravings for fast food and sweets have diminished, my complexion has cleared up, digestion has improved, I have energy in the mornings and don't feel sluggish and grumpy anymore either! One of my favorite benefits, is that I haven't gotten sick when everyone else around me has- which I attribute to all those amazing superfood ingredients, prebiotics and probiotics!

Here's my take on why I love Shakeology--

Why Shakeology?
I love Shakeology because I am a busy mom and truth be told, a picky eater! It is a quick and convenient way to get my complete nutrition, and fills in the gaps that I don't get from my general nutrition. I'm also not a coffee drinker, so it supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with the kids.  It's quick and easy 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.
