What are you drinking?

"The healthiest meal of the day"

I decided to go with a fitness/health related post today - since I have not done so in a while, and I have had a lot of people question me lately about these "shakes" that I drink. The most common question recently is:  "What is that shake thing you keep posting on facebook about?"

Well today is your lucky day because I am going to give you more information about this "shake thing" that I have been drinking. First, it is called Shakeology and has been one of the best health decisions I have ever made. To me shakeology is an amazing breakfast (or lunch, or sometimes dinner), it is healthy and tastes great. Shakelogy comes in three flavors -greenberry, tropical strawberry and my favorite chocolate. I love mixing almond milk and peanut butter into my shakes, and sometimes I even mix in some coffee. I forget that it is healthy for me, for the simple fact that it tastes like a chocolate peanut butter milkshake!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a tendency to drink way too much coffee, but shakelogy has helped me changed that - there are days that I actually go without coffee now, or limit my intake to a cup or two, as compared to the whole pot I was drinking a few months back. For example, I had about half a cup of coffee mixed in with my shake this morning, and have not had any other source of caffeine today, but I still feel energized, alert, and focused. Shakeology has helped me lose weight (almost 20 pounds since January), stay on track with my eating habits, gain energy, and gives me no excuse not to eat breakfast - because it is quick and I can drink it as I start my day. (I had a bad habit of skipping breakfast, or thinking that four or five cups of coffee was an acceptable breakfast).

I can't explain everything there is to explain about shakeology - but I did find this great video that will help you determined if shakeology is right for you and your goals. Check out the video - and as always, let me know if you have any questions!
