Shakeology Tips

Anytime you try something new, it can take a while to perfect it.  For example, when you first got on a bike did you just take off down the street?  Or did you learn on training wheels first?  I've found that mastering the perfect shake is similar.  It took me a few weeks of testing different ingredients and amounts to find the texture and volume that was perfect for me.  I have to always make a little extra for the kids, so I learned that I need to add some water and extra ice.

Personally, I like my shakes thick and creamy.  It tastes like a DQ shake or Wendy's Frosty that way.  The tip to getting them to taste like that is:

- 1/2 frozen banana (I cut them into slices and freeze each half in a little container)
- 1C unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3/4 shaker cup of ice
- 1 scoop Shakeology
- Blend until smooth in a blender.  You can use a large one or a single-serve blender.

Now you can add other fruit, nut butters, extracts, or veggies to change the flavor.  But in order to get the perfect texture follow the directions above!  Hope this helps those who are just starting on their Shakeology journey!
