What Shakeology Can Do for You!


Many people ask me about the effects of Shakeology. I am more than happy to share, but until you actually experience the benefits of this superfood, it is hard to believe how amazing it can make you feel.

Shakeology is NOT a protein shake, yes it has protein in it, but it also contains 70+ whole food ingredients. It is a dense nutritional drink that promotes and simplifies mental and physical health.

Some of the effects I have noticed are, an increased level of energy, I no longer need 3 cups of coffee a day, better overall mood, better concentration, less bloating, no cravings, clear skin, and overall I just feel healthier.

I have also heard many testimonies of how Shakeology has helped people with high cholesterol, diabetes, Lyme disease, depression, menopause, and much more.

Everyone's bodies are different, but I have put together some information on the ingredients that will benefit someone drinking Shakeology on a daily basis.

Antioxidents, all natural, ShakeologyShakeology contains many nutritional ingredients, which is how it was deemed, "The Healthiest Meal of the Day".

Lets take a look shall we?

Shakeology contains antioxidents which help prevent free radicals from oxidizing and destroying cells.

The combination of antioxidents that we have in our recipe also have powerful effects to boost your immune system and help protect your body from normal inflammatory response.

Do you have low energy?

Are you a 3-5 cup of coffee a day person?

I used to be that way. But with drinking Shakeology on a daily basis, you are given an all natural energy boost.

It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals that not only boost your energy but regulates your metabolism, endurance and stamina as well.

I think, and this is just my opinion, that having these ingredients to boost my energy level is a lot healthier for my body than 3-5 cups of coffee a day, AND it is just as easy to make. BONUS, you only need ONE a day!!

prebiotics, probiotics, healthy digestion, natural ways for healthy digestion
Have you ever heard of Pre and Pro Biotics?

Well, Shakeology contains both!

They are non dairy Biotics, that aid in healthy digestion. The pre-biotic and pro-biotic blends containing, enzymes such as papain, lactase, cellulous, and amylase all play an important role in the digestion process.

These enzymes help break down our food particles into smaller particles so our digestive track runs smoothly.


b12, cocoa, mood swings, boost mood, all natural ways to boost mood
Do you have mood swings?

Do you feel depressed?

Well Shakeology can help with that!

Shakeology contains Vitamin B12 which has been proven to help boost ones mood.

Along with B12, Shakeology also contains cocoa which contains PEA.

PEA acts as a neurotransmitter to enhance ones mood.



Vitamin B, Maca root, zinc, magnesium, natural energy, energy boosters
Who doesn't like a good clean out once in a while?

Shakeology has many natural ingredients blended into it that together to make your insides clean and happy.

There is barley grass, spinach, flax seed and more, that all contain detoxifying compounds that help the body rid itself of environmental hazards such as pesticides, pollution's, heavy metals, cleaning products, and much more. (I know gross that that all goes into our bodies, but YAY! to something that can rid them naturally without adding more chemicals to our bodies!)

If you would like an extremely effect detox program check out the Ultimate Reset.

barley grass, flax seed, spinach, chemicals, pollution, chemicals, heavy metals, rid your body of toxins


goji berries, immune system boost, natural way to boost immune system
 Wanna boost your immunity without having to get a nasty shot!??

I know I do!

Shakeology includes immunity enriched ingredients such as the goji berry, which helps promote eye, reproductive, and circulatory health along with boosting your immune system!

Some other amazing immune boosters in Shakeology include, rose hips, acerola cherries, and ashwaganda. ALL boosting your immune system!

reduce cravings, keep you full, all natural ways to reduce cravings
Cravings. Everybody has a craving, most common cravings are salts and sweets.

For me, it was salt. I loved everything there was with salt on it and if it didn't have salt...I added it.

Well have no fear. Shakeology takes care of hunger and cravings as well!

Shakeology is such a dense dose of nutrition that it can help keep you feeling full for up to 3 hours, thus aiding in weight loss. (This is not a weight loss drink)

Along with this, Shakeology has all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to run properly, which will eliminate your cravings! AMAZING!

Now, time for a little comparison.

If one was to go and buy each individual ingredient at the supermarket to try to mimic what Shakeology does to our bodies, they would be spending a ton of money! AND, why spend $30 or more a month on vitamins that are ONLY vitamins..I DUNNO!! Check this out.

price comparison for shakeology and ingredients,

Lets do the math shall we? To buy all the groceries, minerals, and vitamins that are in a month supply of Shakeology one would be spending, $41(a day) X 30 (days)= $1230.00. WOW!! Now lets look at Shakeology, $4(a day) X 30 (days)= $120.00  AND with a bag of Shakeology you are actually getting about 6 weeks worth for $130.00! Everything you need in ONE BAG!


Here are a few links to the flavors we have and all of their nutrional information!

Greenberry Shakeology

Sooo Excited!

This week has been great.

Have gotten some amazing friends and family to sign up to do T25. Tried out one of the P90x3 videos and loved it...AND... when I weighed myself found that I am down 5 pounds since I have been drinking shakeology everyday (I was drinking it before, but not daily).

I am now even a bigger believer in Beach Body.

A Happier Me

As my first blog I have been thinking alot about how to start. Do I open myself up and explain to the world why I am doing what I am doing or simply try and get my friends who already know my journey involved? I realize, I can help the most amount of people by being open and honest about my journey. I am sure that I am not alone... I have had body and self esteem issues my entire life. For a woman, I know I am not alone and I am pretty sure some of these issues will never go away. However, I can tell you over the last year I have made huge progress towards being happier with me. Some of this comes with age...most of this comes with trial and error. After years of abuse (diet pills, not eating, hours of endless exercise) I had finally gotten to a place that was balanced and healthy. I work out each day at 5am and that doesn't interfere with time with my kids, my husband, or my full time job. I go to the gym, I did p90x dvds, I did all the Jillian Michaels DVDs, I made it through the insanity workouts...I had the perfect mix of variety so I never got bored. My diet, although mostly healthy still wasn't great but I hate to cook so I never put much focus there. Then, at the gym, I started working out with a friend that needed some new routines and motivation. After all the cross training I did I was able to create some great workouts as well as combine them with programs I got off pinterest. It was great having a partner. Until....she switched gyms. I was alone again. So I started up doing my own cross training again. The I got a bit bored. So I started the T25 program. This program changed everything for me. I was getting great workouts in just 25 minutes. I couldn't believe how great they were and couldn't believe my body actually started really responding to these shorter workouts better than anything else I had ever done! I realized then that if my diet was better, I would feel even better. So then I started drinking the shakeology shakes. These were perfect for me because I am not a breakfast eater and these fit in great. They taste like milkshakes and had so much nutrition.... After a few weeks of drinking those my hair and skin improved and I started feeling better. This is when I realized I wanted to become part of the beachbody family. I love their products. From the dvds to the shakes to the online support. My main focus is to get better with my diet. Start eating cleaner and not having that "one more" all the time. I need to be more accountable for my diet. I feel like I can be a great exercise advocate and motivator. From the beginner to the advanced. I need an eating and diet motivator. The beachhbody family and blogs and posts have kept me more on track in the last week or so than I have been able to do myself ever. So on this blog, I will post my good days and bad, recipes I love (and hate). Today..is a good day so far.
