Shakeology, which is a meal replacement shake, is coined "The Healthiest Meal of the Day" by the multi-nutritional home fitness giant, Beachbody. The difference between Shakeology and the rest of the meal replacement products on the market, is that Shakeology makes you feel full, as well as giving you the major benefit of feeling healthy. One shake contains around 70 different ingredients packed with your essential fruits, vitamins, vegetables, and minerals to supplement your breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. Furthermore, if you are a person who is deterred by the taste of green vegetables like collards, peas, or broccoli; you can easily choose one of Shakeology's tasteful flavors that comes in chocolate and green berry as a simple solution. 140 calories, 1 gram of fat, 17 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein and 9 grams of sugar will equate to one scoop out of the Shakeology bag that helps you fight disease, stay healthy, stay regular, and get energy. The pouch that the nutritional powder comes in is good for 30-days worth of servings.
You can add pretty much anything to your mix that you would normally eat without the shake. Bananas, peanut butter, strawberries, almonds, or any assortment of fruits and vegetables of your choice is acceptable when customizing your experience. But like anything else, you have to make sure that the proportions of your additives are not too outrageous or the mix could give a counterproductive effect to your efforts of maintaining or losing weight. The beauty of the Shakeology cleanse is that it is not only engineered for losing body fat, but it also helps trim your body's extra water retention, along with flushing your entire system.
Once you begin your new diet, it is imperative that you eat correctly while you are consuming the product. It could be a critical mistake that you make if you try and go back to your regular diet once you are nearing the end of your Shakeology 3 day cleanse. You should slowly reintroduce your old diet, because eating solid foods and starches like oatmeal and grains could give your system a major setback in your quest to lose the weight. Consuming over-processed foods, flour, and white bread will defeat the entire purpose of your cleanse.
Consistently drinking the Beachbody Shakeology product will give you a huge boost in energy. The product is chemical and gluten-free, so you do not have to worry about being wired on caffeine. All you have to do is mix water with the powder and the nutrients and you are good to go. Drinking Shakeology will decrease your appetite to help steer you away from bad dieting habits.
Here is a great recipe from TurboFire's Chalene Johnson, who is a world-renowned physical fitness expert. You can follow her on twitter Here, and on facebook Here.
The Mint Shamrock Shake is developed as follows:
First, grab the blender and put in "a ton of ice". This gives the effect that the shakes will be "huge". Then add water and make sure it goes just above the ice line. Next, you will add green berry Shakeology, Chalene's favorite(one scoop). Add two tablespoons of "powdered peanut butter"; the only ingredients are peanuts. This additive gives the shake a creamy and rich taste. After you apply the powdered peanut butter, mix in two tablespoons of fat-free sugar-free, cheesecake pudding mix which contains virtually zero calories. Sprinkle in a quarter of a cap-size of peppermint extract. This recipe is sure to make your Shakeology experience a healthy and memorable one.
