Committed To Living A Healthy Life

You may recognize some of these ingredients while others you may have a hard time to pronounce. My point is that there are many natural ingredients that have many health benefits that people are unaware (myself included). Let's take a closer look at the benefits.

Protein helps curb cravings by helping you feel fuller longer, reducing the urge to snack. Protein can also promote muscle protein synthesis and help maintain lean muscle mass as you lose weight. 

The superfoods and vitamins in Shakeology have antioxidant properties that help fight free radical damage. 

Phytonutrients help support health and vitality.

Adaptogens Herbs and Botanicals have been traditionally used to help the body adapt and respond to the effects of stress. 

Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Fiber help support regularity and healthy digestion. Probiotics and prebiotics help support goodbacteria in the gut. Good bacteria helps youproperly digest food and absorb nutrients. Shakeology is formulated with insoluble and soluble fiber that helps keep waste moving through the body, which may help reduce bloating. 

Digestive enzymes also help the body break down food into nutrients so it can be absorbed properly. 

Shakeology delivers key vitamins and minerals that support many key body functions.

​

How much of each ingredient is in the formulation is not known and as we know the amount of an ingredient is important to see the benefits (I do respect proprietary rights) and we do know that the ingredients listed on the bag are from most concentrated to least concentrated but for me it is a tasty healthy treat that fills me up for hours and keeps my hand out of the cookie jar. When I started drinking Shakeology, I didn't know the benefits of some of the ingredients and I also didn't understand how it was formulated but I learned about it and saw the benefits in myself (energy, curbing my sweet tooth, minimizing my muffin top) and I urge you to learn and read (from reliable sources) as well.

​

Each serving contains the same nutritional value as:

3 cups of romaine lettuce
4 cups of raw mushrooms
1 shot of wheatgrass
1 bowl of exotic fruit
3 raw onions
7 raw carrots
4 cups of non-fat yogurt
4 cups of red radishes
4 cups of raw broccoli
1 cup of peas
AND
10 cups of cauliflower

​

The ingredient list is actually made up of many whole-food ingredients, not just extracts, harvested from indigenous sources from around the world. The benefit of whole-food derived ingredients is that the nutrients are preserved as close to their natural state as possible and are therefore delivered to your body in the most holistic way possible. Your body will better absorb and more efficiently use the nutrients from whole-food sources (as I mentioned earlier). The process of converting a food from its natural state to a powder, if done incorrectly, can destroy the nutrients in that food. With Shakeology, the highest levels of nutrients are preserved through strict temperature-controlled drying and processing. With over 70 ingredients in Shakeology, there is no one single drying process that is used across all ingredients. Some ingredients are dried naturally in the sun, some ingredients are air-dried at temperatures below 115 degrees F, and some ingredients are freeze-dried. Shakeology does NOT use drum drying at high temperatures above 115 degrees F, spray drying at temperatures above 115 degrees F or ultra-high temperature pasteurization. Shakeology ingredients are not irradiated. The whole food ingredients in Shakeology are considered raw because they are not dried or heated above temperatures of 115 degrees F. 

Shakeology is not a weight loss drink or a protein shake. Weight loss is the results of eating well and exercising. Shakeology is your daily dose of dense nutrition. It's the nutrition that you can get if you don't love eating fruits/veggies (of course, I still highly recommend eating them in addition to the shake) or don't have time to prepare a snack/meal  (life gets busy for all of us - Shakeology is just as convenient as fast food AND cheaper). It's also a tasty replacement for sweet snacks which mainly how I use it. It's something I look forward to every day. Feed your body what it deserves to be fed and it will thank you by giving you an efficient healthy body. This is definitely not a miracle drink and there is always room for improvement but in my opinion it is the best on the market today.
