SHAKEOLOGY

Clean eating is my forte and if you're looking for simple, practical advice from a mom of two toddlers, I've got you covered!  I always start my day with a Superfood Shakeology and continue on the path of healthy eating by avoiding chemicals and eating REAL FOOD!  I am a believer in meal prepping, homestyle cooking and STRONGLY believe that we need to toss ALL processed foods.

What is SHAKEOLOGY?

The Healthiest Meal of the Day

Shakeology is a nutrient-dense SUPERFOOD shake.  When I’m asked about why Shakeology is any different than another organic protein shake, this is what makes it stand out from the rest, in my opinion. Shakeology is made with all of the healthy things that we know we should be incorporating into our diets every single day, but we usually don’t. Shakeology’s the perfect combination of proteins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics. Plus, it also contains many rare ingredients, including adaptogens—things we can’t get from an ordinary diet. So whether you use Shakeology for weight loss, or drink it to optimize your health, this powerful shake is your daily dose of health.  I call it my “fountain of youth” milkshake!

THE DETAILS

We NEED Shakeology in our lives.

Our American diet is terrible! We try, but we often don’t eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables; instead, we reach for what’s quick and easy—packaged food and fast food—which have been so over-processed that their nutrients have long been destroyed. If you’re eating over-processed foods too often than you’d like to admit, then you’re actually running your body on empty.  We need dense nutrition to make our bodies run efficiently.  When you start thinking of food as fuel, you immediately realize how important Shakeology is in your daily diet. Because it is packed with the world’s most potent, nutritious ingredients, it’s the quickest and easiest way to eat healthy, stay satisfied, and live a healthy life.


 

What Shakeology Really Does for You.

Many customers and potential customers ask what Shakeology is actually supposed to do for them. While each person’s body is unique and different, there are a few key benefits that happen to almost everyone drinking Shakeology on a regular basis:

 

  • Antioxidants. Shakeology contains some of the most potent antioxidants: flavonoids and phytonutrients such as spinach, blue green algae, carrot powder, strawberry powder, and vitamins E and C. These help to prevent free radicals from oxidizing and destroying cells. The ingredients in our antioxidant blend such as pomegranate, acai berry, camu-camu, goji, and blueberry also have powerful antioxidant effects to support your immune system and help protect your body from normal inflammatory response.

  • Energy. Shakeology contains a range of B vitamins and trace minerals, like zinc and magnesium, from whole food sources that regulate metabolism and increase energy. Shakeology also contains maca root, an adaptogen herb known to promote endurance and stamina.

  • Digestion. The Shakeology non-dairy prebiotic and probiotic blend contains fiber and different enzymes like amylase, papain, cellulose, and lactase, which all support digestion. These ingredients aid in breaking down food molecules into smaller molecules that can be properly digested, so all of the nutrients can be absorbed into your system.

  • Mood. One scoop of Shakeology provides 100% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin B12. B12 is often linked with good mood maintenance; B vitamins are also essential for the production and proper functioning of neurotransmitters like dopamine, crucial to the experience of pleasure. Shakeology also contains cacao, which is very high in phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA acts as a neuromodulator to enhance one’s mood.

  • Detoxification. Many of the ingredients in Shakeology (spirulina, chlorella, flaxseed, barley grass, spinach) contain powerful detoxification compounds such as chlorophyll and alpha-linolenic acid. These ingredients may help rid the body of environmental toxins such as smog, heavy metals, herbicides, cleaning products, and pesticides. They also aid in liver detoxification. Shakeology also includes kamut grass, an ingredient coined “nature’s most powerful detoxifier.” This grass has been known to cleanse the body and detoxify the cells to restore health and vitality.

  • Immunity. The antioxidants, bioflavanoids, and flavanoids in Shakeology work to support immunity. Some of these ingredients include ashwaganda, acerola cherry, rose hips, and goji berries. The goji berries in Shakeology are one of the richest sources of antioxidants; not only does goji berry promote eye, reproductive, and circulatory health, but it also supports your immune system.

  • Satiety/cravings. The protein, chromium, and nutrient-dense calories from superfoods in Shakeology work to help decrease your appetite. Chromium is important because it helps maintain blood-sugar levels, which reduces sugar cravings and promotes fat metabolism. The protein makes you fuller, longer.  

  • Complete nutrition: Each Shakeology ingredient plays an important role in feeding your body on a cellular level, but it is important to remember that the synergy of the 70+ ingredients working together is what truly fuels your body to keep you feeling good.

 

So there are the reasons that I drink Shakeology.  My customers have been able to see for themselves what it does for their body. We could literally write a book on these potent ingredients (well, not me!), but sometimes a cheat sheet is just as nice to see it all spelled out to help you decide if it’s for you.
