It's a Shakeology revolution!

You heard it here first...or maybe some where else, either way I'm going to tell you my thoughts on Shakeology.
Also known as your daily dose of dense nutrition, Shakeology comes in four flavors vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and greenberry. It's a nutrient-dense, superfood-packed protein shake that you can use as a meal replacement or you can just add it to your daily meal plan. There are many reasons why Shakeology is the way to go.
  • It is a super easy quick breakfast for those that find themselves not having time to eat most days
  • Way more enjoyable than taking your daily multivitamin
  • Increase your energy levels, helping you to stay active
  • gives you the extra oomph to get through your daily workout which can help with weightloss and aid in your fitness goals
  • Helps with digestion
  • Its just plain yummy!
Now how has it been for me taking this daily dose of dense nutrition?!? It's been amazing! I really do feel better drinking Shakeology everyday. Depending on my day and how hungry I am, it has been my breakfast, or have had it with my breakfast of some sort of egg scramble that was made with whatever I had in the fridge that would taste good together. Lunch on those days I get the girls each their perfect individual lunches (hey at least I can get them to eat one full meal a day) and I'm not in the mood then to find something to make myself because as tempting as chicken nuggets or pb&j's sound I don't really want those for lunch :/ 
Before drinking Shakeology I was always tired, blame it on the lack of sleep, the gray days here in the PNW or whatever other excuse I could come up with that day. Drinking coffee in the morning, a coffee or energy drink during the afternoon and still feeling tired and sluggish  and feeling unmotivated to run or workout having to really push myself to do the workout or go on that run. Now I admit I still drink my one cup of joe when I wake up in the morning but then that's it! In all honesty I may not even need that one cup its just a habit after so many years. No more feeling unmotivated or tired in the middle of the day no matter the day.
Energy is the biggest thing I've noticed, I did take multivitamins before that I don't bother with now, who wants to swallow a pill when you can drink a delicious shake? Not me! Last night I noticed for the first time after washing and brushing out my hair that the tub drain didn't have hair sitting on top of it and I  wasn't able to pull out a handful of hair off my head, I was always a shedder it never really bothered me because I never saw a decrease in hair on my head but I'm sure my family is happy my hair isn't in and on everything anymore. 
I'm way less sore after a workout which says a lot since I've recently started a new workout which usually resulted in waking up the next morning feeling sore from head to toe. 
This is getting to be long so as I continue to drink Shakeology I'll let you know what other awesome things I begin noticing about myself.
I'll leave you with a quote from my husbands experience with Shakeology
"Less knee pain, not sure if that's due to Shakeology or good exercises or what. Increase energy, excellent poops, better focus, more stamina in workouts"
Aww..leave it to the hubs to be short and sweet about it.
