Enter Shakeology. I know I've mentioned it before, and lately, I have been raving about it to all of my friends and family members. One thing I keep hearing is, "It's so expensive."
Really? I know that it might sound expensive at first, but work with me here. First off, after breaking down the cost of a month's supply, it averages out to about $4 a shake. You can easily spend more than that at Starbucks or Peets.
Then there are the incomparable ingredients. I'm talking about the more than 70 different ingredients that were chosen from around the world for their potency and bioavailability (the ability to deliver the nutrients your body needs). Things like yacon, sacha inchi, goji berries, green tea ... and on and on. If you are one of those people looking for a Shakeology alternative - it is time to think again. I have done a bunch of research online looking for possible substitutions, cheaper alternatives. The products that I have found just cannot compete. Oh, there are plenty of meal replacement shakes that have very little vitamins, no protein, and contain either sugar or a sugar substitute. There are also were protein shakes only they have very few vitamins and contain sugar or sugar substitutes. None of the products contain any antioxidants. The only way you're going to come even close to getting everything that Shakeology gives you is to start combining several different products. And believe me, that will get very expensive. I defy you to find anything that comes even close to providing the nutritional and health benefits that you can get in Shakeology. Check out the ingredients list (pdf download here) and read everything you could possibly want to know about it right here.
Once you realize that Shakeology really is the healthiest meal of the day, I'd love to hear from you! Email me branwen@beachbodycoach.com or leave a comment below.
