Shakeology has been a life saving fitness and wellness tool for me in this journey to lose weight and feel better. In November 2013 I joined a 30 day Clean Eating Challenge Group and through group support and daily accountability I started losing weight. I really thought I could manage my eating habits and exercise and still reach my goals. After 30 days of working out and eating pretty healthy I was still at a weight I was not happy with. I noticed some of the women posting about their use of Shakeology received better results in the 30 days that I did completely on my own. I knew I would not find the time to eat breakfast. I knew that I should eat every 2.5 - 3 hours and breakfast was the most important meal of the day. I decided to give Shakeology a try and ordered the T25 Challenge Pack. After researching and reading all the information on the Shakeology site I chose the vanilla so I could have a variety of flavors and curb my cravings. I also decided to become a beachbody coach at the same time to get the 25% discount on the products. I was still early in my transformation but, I had already come so far and I knew that I could help other people do the same thing. I received my Shakeology order and my first shake I blended ice, 1 cup skim milk, banana and strawberries. I got better at mixing the shakes as the days went on and now they taste amazing. In my shipment was a calendar of 30 ways to mix Shakeology. I LOVE adding my own ingredients such as spinach, crazy yes but I enjoy mixing crazy stuff with my shakes. I love trying new recipes and I wake up every morning looking forward to another shake.

Shakeology is helping me continue to lose weight and maintain what I have currently lost. I drink my shake for either breakfast or lunch. You can make it however you would like. Here is a little background on Shakeology to help you make a better informed decision.
What is Shakeology?
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 or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.
Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet. It's good for you, and good for everyone, because everyone's diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving.
Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.
Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.
Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.
Phytonutrients support immune function and have anit-inflammatory properties.
Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.
What can Shakeology do for you?
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.
It is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be. Shakeology can help you reduce cravings and promote healthy digestion and regularity. Shakeology recommends that you replace one meal per day with a shake along with regular exercise and a balanced diet, participants who did this experienced remarkable health improvements. It can reduce your total cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular risk, and reduce oxidation damage caused by free radicals.

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!!
