Shakeology is a miracle in a shaker cup. I have been drinking it faithfully since April 2014 (I started a few months before my wedding) and I haven’t missed a morning since that day. To be honest, one of the main reasons I started was because I wanted a meal replacement protein shake to help me shed some pounds for my wedding gown. What I didn’t realize is that I would receive that benefit and SO MANY more!
I have a sensitive stomach which was made even worse by pre-wedding jitters. After just a few days, I could tell a huge difference in how I felt & my digestion issues literally disappeared. Don’t get me wrong, I still have those days where I feel blah but they are so few and far between that I barely notice. Now what on earth is in this “shake” that makes it so wonderful?!

Proteins & Amino Acids– help to build/repair muscles, reduce cravings, support brain function & the immune system, and promote healthy skin, hair and nails.
Vitamins & Minerals- contains ALL of the essential vitamins for proper body function, help your cells make energy needed for day to day activities, and build/repair muscles & strengthen bones.
Antioxidants– protect the body from free radicals and cellular damage, support for cardiovascular health
Phytonutrients– support the immune system, promote healthy aging (what??), also helps to detoxify the body
