Sip It Sunday: Why I Drink Shakeology

Happy Sunday everyone. I know I post a lot about how much I love my Shakeology and I love sharing how it has changed my health and my nutrition. Personally for me, I was a candy fanatic. Honestly, I could eat it and would eat it every day. I was always so tired from how intense my job was some days, candy was my pick me up to get through my evening. But I would crash and it was awful. I kept doing it because I didn't know better.

When I heard about Shakeology I thought it was a protein shake. I had drank protein shakes before and had nooooo desire to drink another one. BUT I was sent a really awesome quick video about what it was and then realized I was so wrong. Yes it does have a protein component that helps to repair muscles faster, steady blood sugar, decrease your cravings and improve immunity.

Shakeology has all of our 23 daily vitamins and minerals that gives me natural energy. These are the vitamins and minerals that are the important micronutritents for our body to carry out it's chemical processes for optimal functioning. They help to repair muscle and build bone quality. They also help your cells make energy.

It also has antioxidants and phytonutrients! (If you aren't a science nerd like me)... these are responsible to protect the body from free radicals, prevent cellular damage and improve cardiovascular health. Also, they promote healthy aging, helps to detoxify the body and promotes an ideal alklaine state.

Prior to drinking Shakeology I had a history of stomach problems. I had seen a GI specialist but the diet they had me follow was too strict and cut out way too many things I enjoyed. My stomach was awful and I was too forgetful to remember to take the new medicines they wanted me to start to take daily. I am not a fan of adding more and more medicine instead of trying natural things. So! Why is this important? Because Shakeology also has prebiotics and probiotics that help strengthen the immune system and promotes healthy bacteria for regularity.

Sooo....what does all of this mean???

-I am the healthiest I have ever been. Normally I am at the doctors 2-3 times a year (have yet to be there in a year)

-I have more energy to make it through my day AND to run errands AND workout without crash sugar binges

-I get to drink a delicious super food based shake that tastes like chocolate and feels like I am cheating-WINNING!
