I'm very picky about what I drink. I don't like grainy textures and gag if there is too much "volume" in my liquid. I have to force down green smoothies...and I don't enjoy most of the "delicious" supplements I've tried from the store.
I caved and gave Shakelogy a try, determined I was going to hate it. Seriously, I'm that bad! It actually took a few minutes for it to register that it was really pretty good. And so I tried it again the next day and realized I LOVED it!! I'm partial to the chocolate {who wouldn't be?}and to make it even better I add in some peanut butter (non-hydrogenated), a banana, and almond or coconut milk. You can make it your own...whole milk, skim milk, strawberries, blueberries...or take it straight. Let your taste-buds be your guide!
So, here's the deal. It's pretty pricey. In fact, when I first saw what they were charging for it, I laughed. Not a heehee kind of laugh, either! But when I broke it down to the basics, I realized that I could actually save money if I used it as a stimulus to get my health in gear.
I don't know about you, but I *secretly* have bad habits. If you determine to make better choices, you'll be surprised at how much you'd save not buying the sodas, coffees, ice cream, donuts, cookies, candy bars, pre-packaged-processed foods. It's truly amazing how much money we throw away on odds and ends of junk food/drink while we scoff at dishing out some money on a healthier alternative.
Here's the straight-up truth on the matter: When I incorporate Shakeology into my diet, my hair and nails grow so much faster and stronger. My energy level very noticeably increases. My headaches disappear. And I find myself dropping inches because it's hard to drink something you spent that much money on while plowing through a bag of chips. It makes me think more about the food and drink choices I am making because I don't want the money to be "wasted".
It's not for everybody and you won't hear me pushing it on you! But that's my experience with our current featured resource!
