More Shakeology goodness...

(Borrowed from my lovely social media friend, Michelle Meyers.)

It’s no secret that I love Shake­ol­ogy. I’m usu­ally very resis­tant to meal replace­ments because until Shake­ol­ogy, I’ve never found one I like. And by like…I mean CRAVE! While I may be extremely health con­scious, there are way too many healthy foods that are enjoy­able to waste my calo­ries eat­ing foods that taste like chalk just because they’re good for me.


But Shake­ol­ogy doesn’t taste like chalk. It doesn’t have a bit­ter after­taste. It doesn’t sit like a rock in my stom­ach. And I’m not hun­gry two hours after I drink it. It’s in a meal replace­ment cat­e­gory all on it’s own. (To learn more about the many ben­e­fits of Shake­ol­ogy, click here.)

First of all, you’ve got to decide what kind of tex­ture you like. I want it to be more like a shake than a drink and have mod­er­ate thick­ness, mean­ing I like to be able to sip it slowly through a straw, but I don’t want to eat it with a spoon, so I always rec­om­mend using the blender instead of a shaker cup. Exper­i­ment with the amounts of liq­uid and ice in each recipe until you find the con­sis­tency that works for you. I gen­er­ally take a 32 oz. cup, fill it up 3/4 of the way with ice and use 2 cups of liq­uid (almond milk, skim milk, water).

As far as taste goes, I com­pare Shake­ol­ogy to a piece of grilled chicken. By itself, grilled chicken is good. But if you add a lit­tle mari­nade or some sea­son­ing, it turns into a del­i­cacy. Shake­ol­ogy works the very same way — add a lit­tle extra some­thing to it, and you can take some­thing that’s good and turn it into some­thing amazing.
