Please click here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\nShakeology contains \u00a0natural ingredients from all over earth.<\/strong>
\nThese delicious ingredients are derived from rich, nutrient-dense whole-food sources from around the world. And when we say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153around the world\u00e2\u20ac\u009d we mean it literally. We scoured the Andes, the Amazon, the Himalayas, Costa Rica, and even the land belonging to our friendly neighbors to the north Canada for the richest and most potent ingredients available. Most of this stuff you’ve never heard of, but the ingredients in Shakeology are life-changers. And here’s why\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Shakeology is packed with superfoods<\/strong>.
\nWhat’s a superfood, you ask? Superfood is the collective name given to the most nutrient-dense foods on our planet. They go beyond meeting basic nutritional needs; in addition, they have high concentrations of multiple nutrients, such as antioxidants, phytonutrients, or adaptogens that work together to support the immune system and help fight aging.*<\/p>\nShakeology’s ingredients fall into these powerful nutrient groups:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Proteins and Amino Acids<\/li>\n
- Antioxidants<\/li>\n
- Phytonutrients<\/li>\n
- Adaptogen Herbs<\/li>\n
- Prebiotics and Probiotics<\/li>\n
- Digestive Enzymes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
PROTEINS and AMINO ACIDS<\/strong>
\n(Whey, Pea, Chia, Quinoa, Flax, Sacha Inchi; Vegan Protein blend also includes Oat, Pea, and Rice Proteins
\nThese two very important elements help build and repair muscles, reduce hunger and food cravings, support optimal brain function, improve your mood, and promote healthy skin, hair, and nails. The bottom line is, your body NEEDS proteins and amino acids to thrive and Shakeology has lots and lots of them!<\/p>\nANTIOXIDANTS <\/strong>(Cacao, \u00a0Acerola Cherry, Pomegranate, Camu-Camu, Bilberry, Goji Berry, Blueberry, Green Tea, Rose Hips, Cinnamon, Luo Han Guo)<\/p>\nAntioxidants are incredibly important in one’s diet because they neutralize molecules known as free radicals. These destructive little devils damage your body the same way oxygen in the air rusts exposed metal on a car. Unfortunately, free radicals are natural by-products that our cells produce, and if you don’t have enough antioxidants to absorb free radicals, they overwhelm your cells, oxidizing and destroying them.<\/p>\n
Moral of the story:<\/strong> Load your body up with antioxidants and super-fruits (via Shakeology) to help keep you happy and healthy for a long, long time.<\/p>\nPHYTONUTRIENTS<\/strong>
\n(Moringa, Spirulina, Chlorella, Spinach, Kale)
\nPhytonutrients are the active elements found in fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and teas. All the green superfoods in Shakeology contain phytonutrients that are known to promote a healthy immune system, healthy aging, and help to detoxify and alkalinize the body.<\/p>\nAlkalinize? What does that mean?<\/strong>
\nThink back to science class when you were a kid and did that litmus paper test. If something was too acidic it turned the paper red. RED = BAD. If it was too much of a base it turned the paper purple. PURPLE = BAD. But right in the middle is the neutral zone (which is where we want our bodies’ pH levels to be). To be in that happy zone we need to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153alkalinize\u00e2\u20ac\u009d our bodies. And the alkaline nature of phytonutrients (which are packed in Shakeology) helps promote alkalinity in your body.<\/p>\nUnfortunately, the American diet is comprised of waaaaaay too many acidic foods things like soda, energy drinks, coffee, alcohol, pasta, and processed deli meat. And an acidic environment in the body may lead to disease. So if you’re a self-proclaimed veggie hater (like our CEO Carl Daikeler claims to be), DRINK SHAKEOLOGY and you won’t even know you’re drinking phytonutrients that help alkalinize your body. You’ll just be happy and healthy.<\/p>\n
ADAPTOGEN HERBS<\/strong>
\n(Maca, Astragalus, Ashwagandha, Maitake Mushroom, Cordyceps, Reishi Mushroom, Schisandra)
\nIf they sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, they kind of are. Adaptogens are special herbs that often grow in harsh climates and conditions, at high elevations and on mountaintops where the soil is rocky and oxygen is thin.<\/p>\nBecause these plants have to adapt to very harsh conditions, they have been traditionally said to have highly concentrated nutrients that can help your body cope with stress, and help neutralize harmful free radicals.<\/p>\n
PREBIOTICS and PROBIOTICS<\/strong>
\n(Yacon Root, Chicory Root, Lactobacillus Sporogenes [Bacillus Coagulans])
\nPrebiotics pretty much act as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153food\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that fuels the growth of probiotics (the good bacteria) that are naturally found in your intestines.<\/p>\nProbiotics are strains of good bacteria that assist your body in absorbing nutrients and minerals, bringing an overall balance to the digestive tract while helping support your immune system.<\/p>\n
Forget what those cleaning product commercials tell you about bacteria being bad, because these kinds of bacteria are important for proper digestive health and a strong immune system.<\/p>\n
DIGESTIVE ENZYMES<\/strong>
\n(Amylase, Caellulase, Lactase, Glucoamylase, Invertase)
\nDigestive Enzymes help your body break food down into its individual components, making nutrients easier to absorb. Because cooking can destroy foods’ natural digestive enzymes, there’s a very good chance that you don’t get enough of these enzymes in an average diet.<\/p>\nThen we loaded Shakeology up with VITAMINS and MINERALS.<\/strong>
\nThe truth is, most of us don’t get the complete range of vitamins and minerals in our daily diets. Some important vitamins, like vitamin C and the B vitamins, are water-soluble, which means they need to be replenished regularly. And other vitamins, like vitamin D, can be difficult to get enough of in food.<\/p>\nAnd there you have it, the magical ingredients inside of every Shakeology.<\/strong>
\nNow try explaining all that to your friends when they ask you why you drink Shakeology every single day! That knowledge really is a good party trick. Or, you could just say: it’s the Healthiest Meal of the Day \u00ae and I love the way it tastes end of story.<\/p>\n[LEGAL:] \u00e2\u20ac\u2039

Day 6 of 2017 and it’s a snowy morning with a two hour delay here in Albuquerque, so the girls are sleeping in. I just saw something that is really upsetting. Shakeology is such a great product that is incomparable. There are a multitude of healthy ingredients and each serving is a large scoop of powder that is mixed in the milk of your choice. Thirty or so scoops weighs a lot and that means that shipping is expensive. Team Beachbody is so certain that you will love Shakeology that they will pay more than $20.00 to get it to you. Why pay $24.94 for shipping when you can pay just $2.00 when you order on Home Direct? It makes no sense whatsoever. Home Direct is exactly the same as placing a one time order. You get a 30 day, bottom of the bag money back guarantee. But if for any reason you don’t like it or it doesn’t work for you, you only pay $2.00 for shipping (shipping is not refunded) instead of losing over $20.00 in shipping costs. \u00a0That makes NO sense. If you order on Home Direct, you can get your Shakeology delivered every month, you can delay your order, pause your order or cancel at any time. That makes ALL THE SENSE IN THE WORLD.<\/p>\n
