I will start by saying I have never been one that looked for opportunities to drink my food. I like to chew and savor my meals. Drinking a shake just didn't seem appealing to me. I know a lot of people drink protein shakes, but that just wasn't me. That is until I found Shakeology.
When I decided to regain my health in 2016, I discussed the benefits of Shakeology with my coach. Since nutrition represents 80% of your results, I knew I couldn't just focus on the fitness portion of this journey. I had to get serious about what I was putting in my mouth as well. At that time I was willing to try anything to feel better, so I placed the order and patiently waited for the package to arrive. I made the first shake on August 22, 2016 and I haven't missed a day since!
So, why Shakeology and not some other brand of protein shake purchased from a local store? First, Shakeology is not just a protein shake. It's a dense nutrition meal replacement shake containing 70+ superfoods from all over the planet. This list of ingredients is not something you can recreate at your local Whole Foods. You will not find artificial sweeteners, flavoring, fillers or soy in Shakeology. In one serving you receive all of the vitamins and nutrients needed for the entire day. As someone who used to take 13 supplements per day in pill form, that is a huge benefit!
Shakeology works on your body from the inside out with the perfect combination of proteins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, prebiotics and probiotics.
Other benefits that I've experienced personally...
✔ Boosted immune system. I've experienced chronic sinus infections in the past. I haven't had a sinus infection since I started drinking Shakeology six months ago.
✔ Control of my sugar and carb cravings. No more afternoon trips to the vending machine.
✔ Improved energy.
✔ Less bloating.
✔ Lifted mood and an overall sense of improved well being.
✔ Better sleep. I'm not waking up at 2:00 am fighting to go back to sleep for hours.
✔ Clearer skin. I used to have redness around my nose and chin. The redness is gone.
✔ Weight loss. While Shakeology is not a weight loss shake, it does aid in weight loss. It's been an intrical part of my 20 pound weight loss!
What about the cost? At $4.00 per day (a little less if you're a Discount Coach), you are making an investment in your health. We don't hesitate to spend $10 - $12 on lunch, $5+ for the daily Starbucks run or $4 for a glass of wine...why do we hesitate to spend $4 a day on our health? I'll be honest...I felt the same way about the cost. What I found is I was able to cut items from my monthly budget to more than make up for the cost of Shakeology. I don't eat out as often, I don't buy as much wine, all those supplements I used to take are no longer on the list and I'm not purchasing food at the grocery store for breakfast.
After six months of drinking Shakeology daily I've gone from sceptic to believer. If you'd like to learn about how Shakeology can lead you to your success story, reach out to me at sueharkerfitness@gmail.com. Until then...
Here's to the healthiest meal of the day!
