Favorite Shakeology Recipes!



It's Thirsty Thursday!  And what better way to celebrate than to post all the amazing ways to drink Shakeology?  For more information about Shakeology and why it's awesome, click the tab ^^.  I've been updating!

What's the best way to make Shakeology?
Shakeology is great because it is so versatile.  You can shake it up in a shaker cup, blend it in a travel blender or annihilate it in a Ninja or Vitamix.  You can keep it thin like milk or thick and creamy like a milkshake.  It all depends on your preference.  Usually, shaking just water or even different milks will keep your shakeology thinner, while blending, especially with added ice or things like a banana, nut butters or extra protein powder will make it creamier.

Always make sure to use at least 8 oz of liquid per serving.  The more solid "stuff" you add to your shake, the more liquid you will probably want to add.  Also remember that everything you add has calories except for water.  Making a shake with 8 oz of almond milk will have more calories than 8 oz of water or even 4 oz of milk and 4 oz of water.  Remember though, calories are not necessarily bad, especially since this is your MEAL.  Finally, try to make sure you're using natural, clean ingredients and definitely NO added sugar!  This baby doesn't need it!
