Lost weight… yes I have lost 15 pounds and have kept it off… more engery… no bloating… well you get the picture. Will I make money from you if you buy it from here? YES of course I will.

I did this because I know it changes lives and creates a better healthier and happier you! I have turned family members onto it, friends and even some co workers. The truth is you have to want the change in your life. My friends… if you want change in your life then YOU have to change. You heard it here. If you want change, then you have to change. You have looked for info about Shakeology to see if it is good and will help you lose weight, but somehow you ended up searching for the scam info. I am here to tell you that Shakeology is not a scam and it will help you reach your fitness and weight loss goals.
In fact I just finished a Super Spartan race. Yeah one of those crazy obstacle courses that was almost 11 miles and it was on a ski resort!! I am not tooting my own horn, but Shakeology was part of my diet everyday helping me after my tough workouts. You can read about my Spartan Race day here . It was one of the toughest things I have ever done and I trained for about 2 months with a 3 year old and 6 month at home.
Actually before I go further I want you to check out FOOD FACTS, one of the most unbiased Food Fact sites around on what they have to say about Shakeology. Go ahead then come back here for more info…. I’m waiting….

Shakeology Scam Tactics
- The hardest part about any fad diet for people to swallow, literally, is the food on the diet. You are expected to ingest terrible tasting food on the hopes of developing a great body. This was not the case when I tried Shakeology.
- My first experience with Shakeology was Greenberry. When I first tried it with just water I have to admit it was a bit earthy… I was not that impressed. I decided to experiment with the recipes they give you and finally got it right with actually blending it with ice, a banana, and a scoop of almond or peanut butter. I ended up actually buying Chocolate Shakeology Packets next and man did I fall in love! The chocolate was good from the go. Mix it with just water and it was great, but mix it with ice, a banana, and a scoop of almond/peanut butter and heaven. Chocolate Shakeology has been my go to drink for almost 5 months now.
Shakeology Ingredients
- There is nothing simulated or synthetic in these shakes. Everything comes from real ingredients chosen to help with balanced nutrition, maintaining muscle mass, increasing metabolism and offering energy. You will not even find fake sweeteners like
aspartame or sucralosein these shakes.
- Here is a complete list of the ingredients you will find in Shakeology: barley grass, wheat grass, ashwagandha powder, oat grass, kamut grass, quinoa, pea fiber, stevia, amaranth, grape seed extract, green tea decaffeinated extract, MSM, spinach powder, hydrilla, blue green algae, astragalus powder, apple pectin powder, spirulina, chlorella, chia seed meal, flax seed meal, yacon, sacha inchi, maca powder, bilberry powder, camu-camu powder, acerola powder, gingko powder, suma powder, schisandra powder, reishi powder, citrus bioflavonoids, cordyceps, acai berry powder, lycium (goji) powder, blueberry powder, pomegranate powder, bifodobacterium longum, lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus bulgaricus, lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, lactobacillus casei, streptococcus thermophiles.
The only difference is that the Tropical Strawberry shake is a vegan shake, so that some of the above ingredients have been altered to make that accommodation.
Shakeology Costs, Discounts, Cleanse, is it a Scam?
Shakeology Cost
The cost of Shakeology is the best part. You will replace one meal a day with the shake. With the 30 day supply coming in at $4 a shake, you are actually saving money by drinking the shake rather than eating a regular meal. Everyone knows, or is, that person which spends three times this amount on coffee every day. Rather than getting a sugar and caffeine buzz which is fleeting, you will get the long lasting energy which will fuel your day. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Why do people say Shakeology is a Scam?
Whenever something promises amazing results, people will think it is a scam. This is exactly the fate that Shakeology has suffered. I was even dubious about the product before I tried it for myself. It just goes to show you that there are some things in this world that you will be able to trust even if they sound too good to be true.
Of course, I wouldn’t expect you to take my word for it. I didn’t take everyone else’s word. I had to try it for myself. Before passing judgment based on the misguided words of some, you can try it for yourself and form your own opinion.
What is the Shakeology Cleanse?
I never actually did the cleanse, but here is the basics of it. This consists of a three day intensive use of the shakes and little else.
The secret to the three day Shakeology cleanse is staying as hydrated as possible. Consume between 3 and 4 liters a day. Simply mix the shake with water and some ice and you are ready to go. You can have the shakes along with a piece of fruit and a salad with grilled white meat of fish for dinner. Here is what a typical day looks like:
- 8am – One cup Green tea, one 8oz. Shakeology shake (piece of fruit optional)
- 10am – One piece of fruit (I always go with a banana)
- 12pm – One cup Green tea, one 8 oz. Shakeology shake
- 4pm – One 8oz. Shakeology shake
- 7pm – Dinner with salad (light on dressing) and piece of grilled white meat or fish
People tell me it really cleans you out and sort of “resets” you. Maybe one day I will give it a shot.
Can you get me a Discount on Shakeology?
Even with the cost of Shakeology being so reasonable, there are still many who would like to save more. Who wouldn’t, right? Well, you can. All you have to do is sign up to be a Beachbody Coach and you will be able to take off around $15 each month from your shake costs. Actually go here for a great break down of Shakeology Price and how the costs all workout http://theshakereview.com/shakeology-price/
What is even better is if you tell your friends and family about it as a Beachbody Coach and they decide to buy, you can get some extra cash. You can use that to buy your shakes or to put it into savings for a new piece of fitness equipment.
Ordering is simple with the 30 day money back guarantee. You can order it directly through Shakeology and you will be able to try it for that first month without having to worry about it. If you don’t like it, you can send back the bag and get your money back minus shipping and handling. I am sure that won’t happen though as this stuff tastes amazing, and it really works! I hope you found my review helpful and good luck on your quest to a better you using Shakeology!
The old saying has never been more true. You are what you eat! In this day and age with processed foods and fast foods staring us in the face it is no wonder how many people are overweight! One of the main reasons we reach for the processed and fast foods is that we have nothing else to eat that tastes good and is simple to make. This is where Shakeology comes in.
Shakeology COSTS to much!
Listen it all comes down to your health. Shakeology costs $4 a shake. Think about how much you spend at lunch everyday or grabbing a few coffees during the day. I know in the past when I would go out for lunch or even a late snack I could easily on the low end spend $10 so in reality you may actually save $6 a day which comes out to $180 a month in savings! That is pretty astonishing!

You can mix and match the flavors as well meaning you can buy half one flavor half the other to try out and there is a 30 day money back guarantee so give it a shot and see which tickles your taste buds
I finally broke down and am doing the 10day challenge. My friend, Ashley Chapman, is a coach now. I’m on day 6 and I’ve lost 4lbs with no exercise. I have a sedetary desk job and these shakes have helped me lose weight, so I’m planning on sticking with them. I think they are amazing. I would like to do the 3day cleanse sometime. Sounds intriguing.
Shannon congrats on that. It is great to hear. Just imagine what a bit of exercise will do
Very happy for you. Keep it up!
Hi! I am looking to take in more Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. How does Shakeology stack up there? I noticed chia seed meal was in the ingredients.
Hi there I will dig a bit deeper tomorrow when I get to the office, but take a look at this info about the Sachi Inchi that is one of hte new super foods in Shakeology -
The Superpowers of Sacha Inchi.
This high-quality, easily absorbable, organic vegetable protein is remarkable in so many ways. First, it’s naturally rich in good fats and fiber, which helps control your appetite. It also helps promote the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response to keep you healthy. And sacha inchi has a very high concentration of omega fatty acids—providing a perfect balance of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9.
Ill try to see if I can get some more specific numbers for you.
Shakeology tastes GREAT and it keeps me full for hours. Really a perfect meal replacement in so many ways (and I love food – not a big shake drinker in general!). My two picky 4th graders also love it. Please be sure to try mixing a handfull of almonds into your chocolate shake (with a blender)…. it is unbelievably delicious!!
Nice! I still have yet to mix in nuts, I really don’t like anything gritty in my drinks. Pulp even freaks me out lol.
I just ordered the chocolate shakeology 30 mins ago. I can’t wait and really hope it does what they claim it does. I’m over weight and need some energy to keep up with my 28 and 14 year old daughters. I can’t understand why I keep reading / hearing that ppl suggest this is a meal replacement and compare it to slim fast. NO THIS IS NOT JUST A MEAL REPLACEMENT. I’ve been in to health food for 12 years and all the natural ingredients in that package (hopefully it’s the truth) has more vitamins and minerals than slim fast and whey protein and includes I’m looking forward to it.
Hey Apryl.. yes this product is nowhere near a slim fast type drink. It is a meal replacement, but is so much more then that. LIke you said just look at what is in it! Please keep me posted with your experience with Shakeology when you get it. I am actually about to write a post about this past week dealing with hurricane sandy and drinking Shakeology. Sounds korny, but I think it will be a good post.
Hey I found this page trying to find comparison info for my buddy. I gave him a sample of chocolate and he really liked it. There is some great info here. At first the price was my issue, but when I realized all the benefits and what shakeology has in it, that was a no brainer. This page is really going to help me show him. Sometimes we just need to visual see the differences. I can see why people think it is a scam, but the only scam is drinking sugar laden replacement drinks that do nothing for you. Thanks again. Arny
Hey man, thanks for the feedback. Yeah price is usually what scares people away and makes them think shakeology is a scam, but after you do the research, look at what you normally spend your money on you realize you will… 1 Actually Save Money… and 2 Feel great and lose some weight. I have been drinking Shakeology for 6 months how about yourself? I also lost 15 pounds and have kept if off.
Hi Chris I have been using Shakeology for about 3 months now. I was about 70 lbs over weight and I have lost 20 lbs. I still have a ways to go and started an exercise plan as well, so that should really help. Even 20lbs down feels great! I have more energy too. It is not hard like people think, you just need to get moving! I will try to keep you posted.
Hi I came across this page researching the new formula in Shakeology as well. Any updates for us?
Hey there Carol… no I have not gotten the new formula yet. I am actually thinking about ordering some new packets since I have been giving a way a lot of free samples lately. I need to replenish. I will post here as soon as I get a chance to try it. Trust me
Well as of today Sept 13 I got my new shipment of Chocolate shakeology, but it is not the new formula. Like I had said a buddy of mine got his shipment last month and it was the new formula so I do not know what is up. Very strange. Either way I know I will stick with my shakeology. It would have to be so bad for me not to drink it. Until next time!
Hey this is longer overdue on your comment, but here you go
http://theshakereview.com/the-new-new-shakeology-formula/
I’ve been drinking Shakeology everyday for the past 2 years. I can attest to the fact that Shakeology is the real deal and not a scam. It gives me energy, keeps me feeling full for hours, and tastes great!
Nice Marcus!
I can see why people call it a scam, but it is a meal replacement drink. I have been using it for the last 6 months. I only came across this page looking for info about the new formula which has me excited and nervous. Can you tell me if you have tried or have info on the new formula? I can say this about Shakeology, it is not a scam and has help my husband and me lose 40 pounds combined. We use it for meals on the go and instead of a bowel of ice cream for dessert it is a packet of shakeology, bananas, ice and voila, good to go. Not guilt, no fat. Seriously though, please let shoot me info on the new Choco formula. Thanks…. Fran
Hey Fran thanks for the comment. You can read about information on the new formula here http://theshakereview.com/shakeology-new-formula/
I just got my new Packets of Chocolate and it was not the new formula so I will have to wait till next month. I do have a friend who got the new formula and said it is different for sure, but is good. I still have yet to try the tropical. Have you tried that. Congrats on the weight loss as well. It is amazing what just changing your diet can do. Have you done any of the Beach Body workouts along with Shakeology?
Hey Chris thanks for the link. Wow I like what they have added, but I do get nervous about the “new taste”, but I am sure it will be fine. No I have not tried the Tropical. I wish I could just buy a few packets to try out instead of the whole month supply. Do you know of a way to get individual packets? As for Beach Body workouts we both have done P90X on and off with good results we just can’t seem to stay motivated for the full 90 days. Our own fault! Insanity does look INSANE and might just be to much for us.
Hey sorry was going over comments and saw I never answered this, but here is the New New formula. http://theshakereview.com/the-new-new-shakeology-formula/
