Product Review: Shakeology

Shakes for meals.  When I first heard of this all I could think of was my childhood best friend's mom's shakes in a can.  I mean, is that really good for us?  I tend to think of myself as health conscious about what I put in my and my family's bodies.  But after researching the content of Shakeology, hearing how it provides so many nutrients to your diet, and can be used to cut cravings and boost energy, I decided to give it a try. 

Now, I'm frugal.  The price was a little tough to take the first time I saw it.  So I gave myself one month (or 3 weeks, so I had time to cancel) to try it out.  And let me tell you, it took exactly 4 days to sell me on it.  That's it.  Here's why:

1. I don't spend money on coffee.  Shakeology is less than $4 a day, which costs less than a latte at Starbucks. 
2. I was finding "energy" to get through the day by eating endless candy.  Shakeology > candy on every.single.level. 
3. I truly had energy again.  Like before-kids-I-slept-9-hours energy.  At 3pm.  On a work day.  After dealing with two screaming toddlers by myself in the morning. 

The biggest shock to me - I apparently crave chocolate and crap because of stress - not because my BODY wants it!  I went from eating a giant bag (not fun size, not check-out aisle size) of M&M's a day to hardly wanting it.  Yep, I was eating for mental reasons not physical.  In fact, after a few months of eating well and doing Shakeology I actually felt sick from eating junk food.  Wow.  I've even become ok skipping my daily vitamin because I get so many good nutrients from this shake!  And there are so many flavors, and each type comes with multiple recipe options. Plus, you can cook with it!  It's fun and super easy to shake up your flavors any time you want a change. 

Best part: my kids LOVE it.  They cry endlessly if I ever skip a day.  It's their incentive to get out the door in the morning.  They get a small cup with my shake each morning, and I feel good knowing my picky eaters are getting something decent and full of nutrients.
