Anyone try it? looking for a good protein type shake to substitute for lunch
Re: Shakeology?
My cousin is one of the beach body coachs and she has sent me some samples. I actually have to give credit where it is due, I felt much better on the days that I had one for breakfast. However, I thought that just the shake mix and milk/ice was gross. You need to mix something in it.
I would see if you can find a way to try some samples before buying it.
I make a smoothie for breakfast every morning with Shakeology. I mix the powder with greek yogurt, strawberries, and water. I would not be able to do the shake if it wasn't mixed with anything. I understand that I could just eat a nutritious breakfast but if it wasn't for the smoothie I wouldn't have breakfast so it works for me.
Anyone who sells Shakeology (I do not) should be able to give you some samples to try out. There are two different kinds now - chocolate and tropical.
I'm a beachbody coach and it's a not a meal replacement for me- I drink it in addition to my whole wheat toast w/almond butter or dinner with a salad and some veggies.
I mix it w/peanut flour, almond milk, and ice and it's like a chocolate peanut butter shake. I used to make my own smoothies every morning w/greek yogurt, fruits, and almond milk and this has less calories, is more filling, gives me a lot of energy, and tastes really good!
I also use Body By Vi. Love it. Tastes like cake batter.
I don't add anything to mine - Vi Shape sweet cream flavor. I just drink the shake twice a day and eat fruits and veggies the rest of the time.
Another good protein supplement is Ensure Protein. I actually think the Ensure is more supplemental but costs less than Vi Shape monthly. Ensure is crazy expensive.
