Is Shakeology worth it and how does it compare to other Protein Drinks out there?

Is Shakeology worth it is a question that I get asked many time over and over again?

Shakeology first came out in 2009. I didn't even pay much attention to it then. Even when I did Insanity in 2011 I still didn't pay attention to it. I will admit...I laughed everytime those  infomercial came on before I worked out. I will raise my hand and admit I thought...umm yeah sure! LOL! Gotta love how things come back at ya :)

Beachbody came onto the scene and made themselves known in the health and fitness world. They are the creators of various exercise programs (Insanity...the P90 series...21 Day Fix...to name a few).

Here is what Carl Daikeler, CEO of Beachbody, has to say about Shakeology himself:

  What’s in Shakeology? – Is Shakeology worth it?

  You can’t really ask  is Shakeology worth it without first understanding what’s in this health shake

   I first started getting into fitness in the summer of 2014. Yes in years before I had done Insanity to drop the baby weight...but this time around...I focused on my nutrition. Looking back, I was always tired...eating whatever I could grab quickly...eating way too much fruits and not enough proteins. Shakeology (along with 21 Day Fix) helped me looked at my eating habits and get them into gear.

  Do I eat perfectly even today? Heck NO! I am not perfect. I love my pizza...I like lean ground beef over turkey ground beef...I enjoy candy! But Shakeology helps me fill in the gaps. Helps me have more energy to keep up with my three boys!!! I truly believe Shakeology has helped give me a new lease on life.

  But… what makes Shakeology so healthy?
  As Carl mentioned in the video above, Shakeology was not created to be cheap but instead to actually improve your health naturally and with only the best ingredients possible…
  Shakeology is worth it because it has:
  
• Protein and Amino Acids – It’ll help you build lean muscles, improve your skin, hair, and nails, support optimal brain function, improve your mood, and reduce cravings.

• Antioxidants and Super-fruits – These are important because they help reduce oxidative damage from free radicals, which lead to degenerative diseases like cancer, arthritis, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes. Plus, the antioxidants and super-fruits will help promote heart health and ideal blood pressure, support joint health, and keep your brain healthy.

• Phytonutrients and Super-greens – They help to alkalize your body and promote detoxification of your liver, kidneys, and blood to restore health and vitality.

• Adaptogen Herbs – Used by ancient civilizations for centuries, the Adaptogen herbs will help protect your body from stress, support the immune system, and balance your endocrine system.

• Prebiotics and Probiotics – These two are greatly needed in your diet because many of the foods we eat are so overly processed that we no longer get much nutrition from our diet. The prebiotics and probiotics will help promote regularity, support a balanced microflora environment in the intestinal tract, and improve digestion.

• Digestive Enzymes – Not much happens without this guy being involved in the digestive process. The digestive enzymes will help you break down foods and increase absorption of nutrients.

  Shakeology or Meal Replacement Shake? – Is Shakeology worth it?

  
  
  People will often look at several different meal replacement shakes and see prices ranging from $15 to $50… and then ask “Is Shakeology worth it?”
  Straight out, the Shakeology price is $129.95 because of the quality of the ingredients and the 70+ ingredients from around the world…
  MealReplacementShakeReviews.com reviewed several of the most popular meal replacement shakes and found Shakeology to be the second best meal replacement shake to date.
  What made Shakeology from being the best meal replacement shake?… the Shakeology price.
  MealReplacementShakeReviews.com gave Shakeology high reviews in Taste, Hunger Blockers, and Nutrition.
  Although Shakeology is not a meal replacement shake, it does act like one because of how nutrient dense the shake is.
  However, as Carl mentioned in the video above, meal replacement shakes are often out to make a quick buck instead of providing you real quality nutrition.
  As a result, many meal replacement shakes are chemically produced to trick your body into feeling full.
  So, is Shakeology worth it or should you get a meal replacement shake instead?
  If you want to feel full and nothing else, then a meal replacement shake may be best for you.
  If you’re looking for a high quality health shake that will give you many more health benefits than a meal replacement shake, then you’ll want to order Shakeology.
  
  
  

  Shakeology or Protein Shake? – Is Shakeology worth it?

  
  ecause Shakeology is a powdered shake, it will often be compared to protein shakes and meal replacement shakes. Much like before, there are several protein shakes you could buy for as low as $10 to as much as $50. Is Shakeology worth it compared to protein shakes?
  When comparing Shakeology with protein shakes, it’s actually a very simple and quick comparison.
  If you’re doing a resistance workout and are working on building muscles, then a protein shake will be your best choice.
  Yes, Shakeology offers as much protein as a protein shake. And yes, Shakeology is made with a high quality whey protein isolate (or if it’s the Vegan Shakeology flavor, made with rice and pea protein)… But a protein shake will be better designed to support a resistance training workout.
  Personally, I use Shakeology for my breakfast and when I do P90X or another resistance workout, I make use of the Beachbody Whey Protein or the P90X Results and Recovery formula.
