WHY Shakeology?


So MY TOP 5 reasons why I personally invest in Shakeology every month and just a couple of the reasons why you absolutely should too 😁

1.) INEXPENSIVE --> Say What?! Yes. You will NEVER find a meal this healthy for $4.00 per serving. EVER. If you do, let me know and I'll buy it. 😜 It's unmatched. By a LONG shot. Most people spend more than that on a medium cup of coffee! 😱

2.) RESULTS --> Here's just 1 example: my Dad's cholesterol has dropped without even changing his diet and not exercising, not only that but instead of skipping breakfast now he has his shake instead! That's a huge win! 👊 I could go on and on about all of the other weight loss stories, saved lives, blood pressure, diabetics, pregnancies, etc... but this one hits home for me and makes me happy! 

3.) ENERGY --> You know that feeling of being groggy, not having mental clarity, and just tired until your 3rd cup of coffee? Yeah that was me too before Shakeo (sometimes still am, thanks to my kiddos lol 😕 ).

4.) CONVENIENCE--> Takes literally 30 seconds and you can take it on your ride to work or like me on the way to my sons gymnastics show right now! 😁 Most people spend more time in line for Dunkins, Starbucks or the cafe at work and spend MORE money. 😳

5.) TASTE--> I'm not a huge fan of protein and I've NEVER liked shakes before this. This stuff actually tastes good. Plus when you take the extra 60 seconds to blend with banana and some PB... HOLY YUM! 😋
Factor in the fact that it's CHEAPER than what most people spend per month on coffee, it's great even for people trying to gain weight, there's a 30 day money back guarantee AND that it's clinically proven... yeah you really can't go wrong. 👍 ‪#‎healthymeal‬ ‪#‎healthyeats‬ ‪#‎investinyourself‬
