So as everyone knows, I am a bit of fitness nut. I have
enough passion for it that not only became a Certified Personal Trainer but
also a Team Beachbody Coach. As part of my fitness quest, I have consumed my
fair share of protein powders and meal replacements powders (MRP). I’ve been
drinking them since them original Met-Rx hit the market. Met-Rx was great but
what most people do not realize is that due to cost, when they changed it from
the original 2 packet (base and a mix) they also changed the formula.
There are many MRP’s on the market today and as I said, I
have tried a ton of them. Since joining the Beachbody team I have started
drinking Shakeology. Shakeology is made by Beachbody and sold by itself or as
part of challenge packs along with the program of your choice. Believe me when
I say this, I am not trying to sell you on a product for sake of a sell. I am a
firm believer in telling the truth and representing the truth, no matter what
it might be. Even though Beachbody has many programs and supplements, if I feel
a client is not suited for them, then I let them know upfront and we look for
an alternative. With that being said, here is my review:
When I first placed my order for ShakeO as we call it, I
was a little reluctant. Everyone was bragging about the taste, saying it was
the best tasting and most nutritious MRP on the market. I’ve tried MANY through
the years and have tasted some pretty good products. In order to get a fair
assessment, I ordered a mix box which contains 12 Chocolate and 12 Greenberry.
The order comes with a recipe calendar with various ways to alter your shakes.
I started with plain ole Greenberry. I mixed it with 8 oz. of vanilla Almond
Milk. The texture was just great. It was smooth and a really pretty color J. The flavor was a very
mild fruit taste. It tasted really good but you could tell that its lightness makes
it perfect for accepting other flavors. . . and it does. I have tried a few
variations and all have been really good. Now to the chocolate. Normally, I am
not a chocolate protein drink kind of person. I find most chocolate proteins to
be too rich and too chocolaty with the exception of EAS’ Milk Chocolate
protein. Chocolate Shakeology surprised me. It actually had a great taste and
texture and comes with some really good recipes. As far as being the best
tasting on the market . . . I’m not really sure about that in its natural form
but it has some really great recipes that do make it the best I have ever
tasted.
The great thing about ShakeO is the nutritional value. It
contains all natural ingredients that other MRP’s do not have. For instance
Maca, is a natural root that gives you a boost in the libido and can be used in
eliminating menopause symptoms. Spirulina, is considered the best overall
natural protein source and the list goes on and on. So even if it is a little
expensive, it takes the place of an entire meal and brings in nutrients that
others do not. Substituting just 1 meal per day can help you lose up to 10lbs.I
have to say, I am pleased overall. I give it 4 out 5 stars and recommend it to
those interested in getting into shape and losing weight.
