Shakeology - anyone?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried Shakeology? I really liked the list of green ingredients, but tried the chocolate and it is really thick and sweet. I know someone who is making these but adding in a lot more liquid (2 cups + ice instead of 1 cup). Of course, if I did that I would add unflavored Protein powder.

Anyone with experience???

I tried the chocolate, it tasted FAR from chocolatey. I have a whole bag of it if anyone is interested. One bag minus one scoop. You pay shipping! :) FAR cheaper than buying it from them direct.

I was curious about the green, too - but I'm really gunshy after the chocolate experience.

I've used Shakeology for over a year now. I love the Greenberry with 1/4 avocado, cup of Water with pineapple/coconut dasani flavor and some ice. I also like the chocolate with PB2, banana, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup water, and some ice. I don't usually drink a whole one at a time...way too filling for me but I like them both as a pre-workout meal. I don't love to eat in the mornings but I love to workout in the mornings so a half of a Shakeology works for me.

The tropical is really yummy :) I was drinking it for a few months awhile back... havnt had it post surgery though.... I have a freind who swears by the vanilla..she said it is a lil' more versatile as you can add other flavors! If I recall there is a * bottom of the bag guarantee* so i would go for it if it appeals to you... i did also try greenberry and wasn't especially keen on the flavor but had it with only water....

Thanks all....seems that most people do mix it with other foods .... I will give my other samples a try that way.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
