My past couple of posts have been about the New Year’s resolution to get fit or get in shape. I wanted to add another to help support you in achieving your health goals in 2011. The focus of this post: Shakeology.
For over 10 years I have been interested in health and nutrition. While my formal training is in Massage and CranioSacral Therapy, I have done a lot of reading and learning about nutrition, supplementation and general wellness. For over a year and a half I have worked part time at a local health food store in the vitamin/supplement/body care department whose focus is to offer the best natural and organic products available.
During the 21 months I have been there, I have spent a lot of time learning even more about different supplements and their benefits. I have also tried a lot of different products to see how I felt when using them. Tablets, capsules, tinctures, and powders. Some of them were great, some were not … and most of the powders were disgusting!
After starting P90X I began to read about Shakeology. The ingredients impressed me: vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, protein, antioxidants, and phytonutrients… all in one shake. The list includes numerous supplements that people ask for and that I recommend every day that I work.
I was very interested… but very hesitant.
I had yet to taste a supplement powder packed with this many nutrients that was actually enjoyable to drink. I knew the benefits of the 70+ ingredients, but if it was too disgusting to drink I wouldn’t use it. However, I figured it couldn’t be worse than some of the other mixes I had already tried, so I ordered some to put it to the taste test.
It was delicious!!! Seriously. I was pleasantly surprised.
Since then I have given some to other people to try as well. All of them have told me similar stories about trying awful tasting shakes, but then tried and loved Shakeology.
So how does this fit into your goals to get healthy, get in shape, and lose weight in 2011? Here’s a short clip from the Shakeology Website:
This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.
At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.
So, why Shakeology?
You get 17 grams of quality protein plus all the nutrients with only 140 calories. And you don’t have to buy take over 20 different pills every day. It costs less than a meal at a fast food restaurant and provides so much more nutrition. It fills you up and fuels your body. Pair up Shakeology with a solid exercise program and be prepared for dramatic changes in your health and wellness.
