Shakeology

Shakeology comes with the challenge pack when you order the program of your choice.  To be completely honest, Shakeology has been the one BeachBody product that I've been faithful to since I got it with the 21 Day Fix last spring.  I absolutely LOVE it!!

What do I LOVE about Shakeology you ask...  I drink it in the car on my way to work every morning.  It keeps me feeling fuller longer and really has reduced my cravings to snack.  I know it sounds too good to be true, but for me to be faithful to it, it's definitely true - for me at least!

There are a ton of great recipes out there that can cater your shakes to suit anyone's taste buds!  You will receive several recipes with your Shakeology each month it ships, however, Pinterest also has a lot of creative (and good) recipes as well...go check it out.  

** I make all of my shakes with either water and almond milk, water and coconut milk or all water.  I stay away from using regular milk.  If you have not tried using almond milk or coconut milk, I strongly recommend you giving it a try.  I would love to hear your thoughts on what you truly think after you give it a shot :)
