Vanilla Shakeology Has Arrived! #VanillaShakeology

The most requested flavor has finally arrived in Shakeology. They said it couldn't be done

but with determination they have been able to bring it to us!!  Sure, it took them two years of meticulous testing but it's worth it!!

Not only have they brought us this amazing flavor, but they are offing FREE SHIPPING through July 7 for the Vanilla Shakeology.  FREE SHIPPING never happens unless you have Home Delivery (auto-ship) so this is an awesome deal.  If you are already an existing Shakeology customer, no worries.  You can contact customer service and request them change your current flavor to vanilla, it's that simple!!

As you may know, Beachbody prides themselves on being able to deliver the healthiest shake on the market and that's one reason why it took  years of research in order to bring Vanilla to the mix.  They had to hunt down a pure, flavorful, and ethically sourced vanilla bean that would meet their standards.  By using a particular vanilla they were able to achieve complete traceability of vanilla beans coming from a multitude of small Madagascar farms.

What is the nutritional info for Vanilla Shakeology?
Vanilla Shakeology has 130 calories, 16g of protein, 14g of carbs, 7g of sugar, and 2g of fat. For more nutritional information and the list of ingredients

Does the Vanilla contain both whey and pea protein?
Yes, Vanilla Shakeology still has whey protein in it. We also added a small amount of natural pea protein to round out the amino acid profile.

Is Vanilla Shakeology gluten-free?
The Shakeology formula does not contain any gluten-based ingredients and we make every effort to prevent any ingredients with gluten from coming into direct or indirect contact with our products. However, because of our high standards we do not feel it is appropriate to make a gluten-free claim since Shakeology is produced in facilities that also handle gluten based ingredients. If you have a concern about gluten it is best to consult your doctor before making any dietary changes.

When will Shakeology be certified gluten-free?
There are no gluten-based ingredients in the Shakeology formula. Although we can apply for a gluten-free certification, the safety of our customers is extremely important to us and until we are satisfied that our high standards can be met we will not put a gluten-free certified statement on the package. To meet our internal standards, we are reviewing our entire supply chain of nearly 100 ingredients to ensure that there is no potential exposure to gluten-based grains from the farm to the Shakeology product being sealed in the final package. At this point we cannot say when that assessment will be complete.

Is Vanilla Shakeology free from allergens?

Shakeology is formulated to be free of the common 8 allergens, however, Shakeology is made in a manufacturing facility that also process allergens such as soy, wheat, milk and gluten. While our manufacturing procedures follows strict, required FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), which include cleaning and breaking down of equipment between production runs and proper air filtration systems as precautionary measures, the possibility of cross-contamination can never be 100% eliminated, therefore we include the warning statement as a precaution to make our customers aware that Shakeology is Manufactured in a facility that also processes soy, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, and wheat (gluten) ingredients." We feel this is a responsible approach to help those with extreme sensitivities to such ingredients make an informed decision about the use of Shakeology.

Shakeology and Eating Healthy

With swimsuit weather just around the corner, how many of you have already started pulling out the dreaded bathing suit?  I know it's not something that I have looked forward to in the past but during this past year I have made some healthy lifestyle changes and oddly enough having to pull out that swimsuit isn't something I am dreading.  With exercise and healthy eating I am on my way to a happy, healthier me. I'm not saying I look amazing in a swimsuit, what I'm saying is that for once in my life I feel comfortable in my body because I know that I am making changes that in turn will help me be a better version of me.

Starting on March 8, I'm teaming up with a friend of mine and we are going to be hosting another Cleaner Eating Challenge.  The Challenge is focused for 7 days, but we are hoping you will want to stick around for a full 30 days so that you can create a habit of exercise and healthy eating.  After all, we know that it takes approximately 21 days to create a habit. I have participated in the challenge in the past and it really helps me clean up my bad habits when they start to slip.  Also, with this challenge I will  be participating. What fun would it be to just host, right?  I love a good challenge and it's always a great one.

6 months progress for me (same swimsuit).  I started with Chalean Extreme, then into
 Les Mills Pump and currently P90X.This picture was taken on Feb. 8th so approx.
1 week into P90X.

A friend of mine. She started Brazil Butt Lift and Shakeology in Nov.
She is a mom of 4 kids and has lost 12 pounds and 17" in 2 1/2 months

What is involved?
This will be a private group on Facebook and unlike my currently accountability group this challenge does require you to drink Shakeology once a day and to workout. I do ask that you check in daily as a way to keep motivated and a way to motivate the ones around you.  You are welcome to post motivational quotes, healthy recipes, current struggles or just to say how great you are doing!

You can choose to use a current workout program and purchase Shakeology or grab a challenge pack for a great price!



I personally will be starting this challenge with P90X.  I am getting ready to kick off my second month in the program and this challenge will a great way for me to become more focused on my nutrition which has been very slack lately! I really want to give this program all that I have and while I am with my workouts, my eating just isn't the best. I know I am capable of doing much  better.  Also, Hip Hop Abs which is currently on sale (you can find more information HERE) would be a great one as well if you are a fan of dance workouts. I just recently purchased this program at the sale price and wait to check it out!

Also, if you have been debating on trying Shakeology for the first time, now is the time to do so!  As of April 1st, the $119.95 price will be gone forever.  By waiting or continuing to buy a la carte, you will end up spending over $22 more per month ($10 on price increase + 12 for shippping).  That's over $250 more per year!  There is good news to this though!  If you order before March 31, you will have the original price for LIFE!  Great news is that if you are currently on a home direct order or you even purchase before March 31 with HD, you are locked in with the current price as long as you don't cancel!!

Why the price increase?

• To counteract the rising costs of fuel, shipping, and ingredients 
• So they can continue to offer FREE shipping on HD orders
• To preserve the integrity of their ingredients (rather than skimping or ordering from lower quality sources)

If you have any questions about this group or would maybe even be interested in joining a group at a later date, feel free to email me or to fill out this form. This will help me guide you in the right direction.

I do have to close on this one. Anyone that is familiar with P90X, Power 90, or even P90X2 has to love Tony Horton and his personality.  He recently made this fun video showing the value of Shakeology!  Check it out and did you know that Shakeology can also help you accelerate your results.

What is Shakeology?

I have a lot of people ask me what is Shakeology and what exactly can it do for them.  For starters, Shakeology is a protein shake but offers so much more than just average protein shakes on the market. You can choose to use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure that your body gets all the nutrients it needs.

I'm not going to lie.  I was very skeptical about Shakeology at first. I was making my own protein shakes from whey protein and felt like that was enough.  However, my weight hit a stand still and I wasn't able to budge it. I was working out 6 days a week, getting my calories right on target and drinking one protein shake a day which usually fell during the morning hours.  Then one day I sat down and  looked over my food log, and I mean really looked over it.  I flipped back over days, weeks and months to see how my nutrition had changed, calories and even exercise.  I was determined to figure this out!

While flipping back over everything I quickly noticed that my veggies and fruits had went down.  With the cooler months upon us, fresh produce (which is my favorite) was starting to rise in price along with fruits and I had just simply cut back on how much I purchased.  Some how all this led me right back to Shakeology so I started reading up on it and was excited to see that with just one serving of Shakeology I would be getting in veggies and fruit (2 servings of each!) that I was lacking.  After reading and researching I decided to give it a try.  I looked at it is if it didn't work then I would be out of nothing.  That's the great thing about any and all Beachbody products, you get a 30-day money back guarantee and they mean that unlike a lot of companies out there.  Once I ordered, I had my product within a week and immediately starting giving it a try and was sold on this product after my first week!  After seven (7) days on Shakeology I lost 3 pounds.  I didn't change my diet the entire time, the only difference in that week was I stopped drinking just Whey protein shakes and switched to Shakeology. I prepared my Shakeology the same way as I did my other protein shake (1 cup almond milk, 1 frozen banana, scoop of Shakeology)  I also noticed I was having more energy and just in an overall better mood!  So far thanks to Shakeology and other Beachbody products I have lost a total of 30 pounds, as well as  improved my overall health! It's amazing how I have been able to go off all the medication that I was on before!

So now that I have told you how Shakeology and Beachbody has helped me, here are some facts regarding Shakeology!  Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients and delivers nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet!  Not only is it good for you, it's good for everyone since so many people's diets are deficient in some way.  In just one serving of Shakeology you are getting:

• Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function and keep your skin and bones healthy.

• Vitamins and minerals that support optimum health

• Antioxidants that boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure and stroke!

• Phytonutrients that support immune function and have anti-inflammatory properties.  Many phytonutrients have antioxidant properties as well!

• Prebiotics that support digestive and immune health

• Digestive enzymes that help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health!

So are you still wondering just how Shakeology can help you? Well as I mentioned earlier it really helped kick start my weight loss again by supplying my body with nutrients it was missing which helped me achieve wonderful results in the workout program that I just completed.

In an independent 90-day study, participants who replaced one meal per day with Shakeology experienced some awesome health benefits such as:

1. weightloss
2. craving reduction
3. increased energy and stamina
4. healthy digestion and regularity

Out of these four things it has helped me with weight loss and increased my energy.  I have heard many people say that it helps stop the sweet craving but honestly I have never been to crave sweets so I can't speak on that.

Shakeology has also been proven to help:

• Reduce total cholesterol by 30% on average
• Reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol by 38% on average
• Reduce cardiovascular risk ration by 24% on average
• Reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals on average by 45%, which can help decrease risk for developing degenerative conditions like heart disease, dementia and arthritis.

My personal favorite is the chocolate Shakeology with the Tropical Strawberry a close second. As far as the Greenberry goes, I have never tried that particular flavor but I have heard a lot people say that it is their least favorite.

You have 4 options to choose from when it comes to Shakeology.

• Regular Chocolate or Greenberry-made from whey protein
• Vegan Chocolate or Tropical Strawberry-made with brown rice and pea protein

Like all Beachbody products, Shakeology comes with a 30-day Money Back Guarantee.  You can order your bag today by clicking on the below picture.
