Okay thought I would revive this for my review of Shakeology!

So Ive only used it for two days now and will update after a few weeks but these are my initial thoughts. Having used various meal replacement shakes in the past there are many that dont taste all to great. I also always have the problem that after a while that same taste just gets really boring. Well I believe Shakeology has solved that problem!

Not only was I extremely glad that it tasted great (got the chocolate flavor) but the fact that it tastes so great and has so many great things for you is a huge bonus! While one draw back for some may be that it comes in a powder form so you have to do the mixing (I use a blender) causing for more cleanup I find this okay and heres why. With Shakeology when you get tired of the same flavor all you have to do is make up another concoction and try it out! The times I have had it Ive used:

-skim milk
-tablespoon of peanut butter
-ice
-one scoop of shakeology

on another time I also included banana! The shakeology mixed with these ingredients puts the calories up around 300 give or take depending on what I add. This makes it perfect for my diet.

Another thing great is that it has satisfied my sweet tooth! I have a bad one and would always be resisting the urge for that piece of cookie or candy, with this I get all the nutrients I need and still get that sweet chocolate flavor! The first recipe I used was like a reeses cup smoothie!

Last thing I want to say is that while I have only used it for 2 days (third time while writing this) I do feel better in my workouts. This is probably much in my head, however, I feel I do have more energy in my workout and throughout the day. I will find more on this after longer usage though. Oh, and I also want to add that this shake is very filling! I didnt think it would be but most of the time I am full before I finish it! Even better is I dont feel hungry for 3 to 4 hours after!

So that is my review! While you may think the price may be steep its actually only around $4 a meal which I know is less than I pay eating out for lunch! So for anyone even thinking about it I urge you to give it a try! I was very skeptical about it and so far am absolutely loving it! If you have any questions about it ask away!
