So what exactly is this "SHAKEOLOGY" stuff?

Shakeology is a dense nutrition shake that give you natural energy, will help you control cravings, improve digestion, help you lose weight and boosts your immunity. It is extremely effective when used as a meal replacement, or even addition to your everyday diet. Now let me tell you, like anyone else when i heard about this I was a little skeptical. I mean.. there are SO many "products" out there, and shakeology is not one of them! lets the ingredients and nutritional information do the speaking for themselves.

It took me a few days of drinking Shakeology to really start to feel a difference. I noticed I woke up in the morning quicker and happier. I could make it until lunch time without feeling like I had never slept. I could do my workouts more efficiently, and still have energy left over for the rest of my day (big for me!). I used to always experience bad bloating and what felt like awful gas cramps, and now they were gone! And lets not forget the weight loss! I am one to have a difficult time losing weight, i mean it usually takes me at least a month to lose 2-4 pounds. in 3 weeks I lost 7! this skeptic became a believer! I still would say you need at least a month to 3 months to feel full benefits. Dont quit if you aren't feeling miraculous right away! everyone's body is different, and it will take time for your body to detoxify and positively adjust to all this crazy nutrition you are now jam packing it with!

so with that being said I would love to share my favorite recipes so far! If you cant tell already, I may have had to much fun experimenting with flavors. here are some of my favorites, but there are still MANY MANY more combinations to make.!
