Shakeology: Perfecting Texture and Tast


Shakeology is really good! I promise!
People who have been disappointed by other shakes on the market commonly resist the idea of engaging in any kind of nutrition plan that includes another similar product. They say:
  • It was a waste of money.
  • I didn’t lose weight with it.
  • It left me hungry!
  • It didn’t taste good.
  • I couldn’t stand the texture.
All of these are completely understandable comments, especially considering that these products don’t even come close to comparing to Shakeology. But, without getting a chance to sample Shakeology, it’s impossible to understand the difference.
You may be used to ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS:
First and foremost, Shakeology is 100 percent natural. It was developed by a vegan expert with masters degrees in nutrition and agricultural anthropology. He created Shakeology with NO artificial colors, flavors, stimulants, sweeteners or chemically-modified micronutrients. Nearly every other shake on the market (for weight loss, protein or other uses) contains significant amounts of manmade chemicals, artificial flavors and sweeteners and cheap fillers, specifically soy. The producers of other shakes dump in these chemicals to make their products live up to what most of us have been brainwashed to think things should taste like. We are so accustomed to artificial junk in our food, that we don’t recognize natural flavors and reject them as tasting bad. Shakeology is the cleanest, purest product possible.
TRY MIXING WITH ALMOND or COCONUT MILK:
Because it’s made from all natural ingredients, it’s not chemically formulated to be perfectly smooth. Because of this, some users initially think it’s gritty or extremely thick. It can be, but you can work on your preparation methods to make it thinner and smoother. First of all, adding milk, to your formulation will make it much smoother than just water. I highly recommend unsweetened vanilla almond milk (not dairy) as your base. If your shake is still too thick or too gritty, reduce the amount of Shakeology you use or pour in an extra ounce of milk. It may require a little experimentation, but you’ll get it right if you keep trying!  I USE 12oz of fluid, but the packet will call for only 8oz making it thick!
ADD SMOOTH INGREDIENTS:
Additionally, you can change the texture of your shake by adding natural ingredients. I like to add peanut (or almond) butter, bananas, strawberries and ice. It makes it like a yummy milk shake! Other ingredients to consider are Greek yogurt or avocado.   Here are some of my PERSONAL FAVORITE RECIPES.
If you’re using the vegan formulas, Beachbody experts indicate that they may actually have a more grainy texture as a result of the rice and pea proteins used. Consider switching to the non-vegan options.
BLEND IT WELL BABY!
Lastly,  consider investing in a quality blender, I use a Ninja.   A cheap, discount blender won’t break it down enough to make it truly silken, regardless of how many other things you put with it. However, it will make it much smoother than simply using a shaker cup will. Blending it longer may help with the texture.
If you just can’t get past the fact that you’re replacing a meal or snack with a shake and NEED something to physically eat, consider one of these recipes. I fully understand that sometimes you just need to put something in your mouth and chew on it — otherwise, I get “hangry,” too! These are great ways to incorporate your Shakeology into your diet:

  8. The color of the oak wood is from light to almost white. The heartwood varies in color from brown to light brown to light brown to brown. In general, the wood is straight, big, rough. After having been treated technically, wood has a high moisture resistance and resistance to water-resistant termite so it is absolutely safe to use. make kitchen cabinets.
