I am in no way affiliated with Beachbody. I'm not a coach, and I don't make money from them. Hell I just started working out to Beachbody videos 5 days ago so I really have no vested interest. I did however really want to try it.
The reason Shakeology interested me so much was the ingredients. It does not have the same ingredients as other protein drinks I have had in the past or read about online. It also wasn't filled with artificial sweeteners or sugar which I really loved. I am not looking for a protein drink as much as a nutritional supplement. I found a few other Meal Replacement shakes that happen to be vegan that did come close to the ingredient list from Garden of Life.
I still couldn't help wanting to try Shakeology, but I wasn't going to fork over $120 for a taste. I found a Beachbody coach and purchased the sample pack from her. Hey if I can help someone else make some money so be it.
REVIEW:
I tried Greenberry first because I read it was the worst. Recipe below:
1/2 cup unsweetend Almond Milk
1/2 banana
1/4 cup frozen mango
water and ice to thin it out
Blended it up in my Vitamix
The best way to describe it was it tasted "healthy". It didn't taste bad, but I wouldn't refer to it as the most delicious shake I've ever had either. As I was drinking it I started liking it more and more. I tend to like the way protein bars taste. You know when someone says "Yuck, it tasted like vitamins!" Well I'm the person that will say oooo Yum to that product. I guess I like the way vitamins taste. In any case, if it can do what they say it can (very skeptical), I'd buy it. I'm also going to try the shake from Garden of Life.
Does anyone know of any other protein/meal replacement/nutritional supplement shakes without artificial sweeteners? If so; please let me know.
