\"Reasons<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re trying to get healthy and fit and lose weight, drinking a\u00a0Peanut Butter Banana Split Shakeology<\/a>\u00a0might sound like the fastest way to go off the rails, right?<\/p>\n

So when you hear someone raving about their\u00a0favorite Shakeology recipe<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 like the aforementioned Peanut Butter Banana Split Shakeology \u2014 you might wonder how that could possibly help anyone support healthy weight loss.<\/p>\n

But even though it sounds like one of those things that falls squarely in the too-good-to-be-true category,\u00a0Shakeology<\/a>\u00a0really\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0help you get the nutrients you need and make losing weight a little easier.*<\/p>\n

It works by addressing some nutritional gaps our diets can have with potent ingredients that help support digestive health, provide healthy energy, reduce cravings, and just plain help you feel better.*<\/p>\n

And when we feel better, we do better, by making smarter choices and taking on bigger challenges.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Shakeology works \u2014 and why you should start drinking it.<\/p>\n

The Backstory<\/h2>\n

Before we get into the \u201chow,\u201d here\u2019s a little of the \u201cwhy\u201d:<\/p>\n

Shakeology was created by BODi CEO Carl Daikeler, nutrition and fitness advocate Isabelle Daikeler, and superfood hunter Darin Olien.<\/p>\n

The idea was to create a nutrition product that would help restore some of the nutrients that our modern diets might be missing through a delicious shake made with a high standard of ingredient sourcing and quality.<\/p>\n

From the beginning, Shakeology was envisioned as a whole new type of shake. The promise between the founders was that they would never compromise health benefits for costs or profit.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we search the world over for potent superfoods and combine them in precise ways to optimize their health benefits.<\/p>\n

1. Shakeology Is More Than Just a Protein Shake<\/h2>\n

Yes, Shakeology is definitely a great source of protein, with 16 to 17 grams of protein per glass (depending on the flavor); that\u2019s about the same amount of protein you\u2019d get from eating\u00a0three large eggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And it doesn\u2019t have just one type of protein, but a blend of globally harvested protein from whey, pea, chia, flax, and quinoa.<\/p>\n

But Shakeology isn\u2019t a typical\u00a0protein shake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the protein blend, it also has a bunch of awesome fruit- and vegetable-based ingredients in it,\u201d says Paige Bente, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are ingredients with antioxidant properties like green tea, pomegranate, vitamin A, and rose hips. There\u2019s a super-green\/phytonutrient blend, and also a blend of adaptogens that have been traditionally used to help your body react to stress. And there are probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes that are really important for gut health,\u201d* she adds.<\/p>\n

This superfood nutrition shake can give you a head start on the nutrients you need for the day and help you get through your workouts.*<\/p>\n

2. Shakeology Can Help Curb Cravings and Help You Lose Weight*<\/h2>\n

Losing weight would be so much easier if the foods we\u00a0want<\/em>\u00a0were the foods we\u00a0need\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 but, sadly, it doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n

We all know how to lose weight \u2014 eat\u00a0healthy foods<\/a>,\u00a0watch your portion sizes<\/a>, and exercise more often \u2014 but it can take serious\u00a0willpower<\/a>\u00a0to reach for something nutritious when your brain is telling you to eat\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0the Halloween candy.<\/p>\n

If that sounds familiar, think of Shakeology as a secret weapon to help you stay on track.<\/p>\n

\u201cShakeology helps reduce appetite and increase satiety,\u201d Bente says. \u201cIt\u2019s helpful in reducing the desire to eat and reducing the amount eaten at the next meal.\u201d*<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019ve got a sweet tooth that won\u2019t quit, Shakeology can help satisfy it in a healthy way. \u201cAs part of a healthy diet, Shakeology can replace foods that are higher in calories but lower in nutrients,\u201d Bente says.<\/p>\n

So the next time you\u2019re tempted to hoover a tub of chocolate ice cream or down a sugary latte, whip up a\u00a0Chocolate Shakeology smoothie<\/a>\u00a0or a\u00a0Vanilla Chai Shakeology<\/a>\u00a0instead.<\/p>\n
