Shakeology Flavors
Shakeology flavors - which is the best?
Most people are aware of the health benefits of Shakeology. But before they try it most people want to know... "Does Shakeology taste good?"The simple answer to this question is, yes! But that only brings us to another question. Which of the Shakeology flavors is the best? Everyone agrees that Shakeology is good for you. The only real argument that you will get from people is which flavor to try. This is a topic of great debate. Some people enjoy all three Shakeology flavors and will rotate them to shake things up (pun intended). But then you have some people that have their allegiances to one flavor. So which should you choose? Having 3 delicious options to choose from is a nice dilemma to have!
These options include:
Shakeology Chocolate - a rich, creamy and delicious shake. This flavor is so decadent, that I sometimes feel guilty drinking it, even though I know that it is good for me! It truly is like a dessert in a cup. If you didn't know that you were drinking a health shake, you might think that it was a milkshake!
Shakeology Green Berry - not a "sweets" person? Then this may be the flavor for you. Don't be fooled by the name. The "Berry" in the title comes m
ore from it's superfood ingredients rather than it's flavor. This may be part of why Green Berry gets a bit of a bad reputation. It seems that many people see the name Green Berry and understandably assume that it will be a fruity, sweet, berry-mix kind of flavor. However, it couldn't be more different. It is more of an earthy, natural kind of taste. You get strong overtones of wheat grass and other natural herb flavors. I think this catches the "berry" fans off guard and puts a bit of bad taste in their mouths (pun intended again). Be aware, this flavor is not for everyone. But if you are not a chocolate fan or do not like your shakes sweet, you may want to give this a try.Shakeology Tropical Strawberry - This is the newest flavor in the Shakeology lineup. And it has received rave reviews. With a wonderful mix of berries and other exotic tropical fruits, this flavor is reminiscent of an island getaway in a glass! You'll be looking for your flip flops and an umbrella, both for the sun and your glass! This is a refreshing shake that has a delicious fruity flavor. This is the shake that I think the people that did not like Green Berry were expecting! Tropical Strawberry also has one unique quality compared to Chocolate and Green Berry. While all Shakeology flavors are vegetarian, Tropical is the only flavor that is also vegan. (Edit: A new vegan chocolate version has been released since this was posted) Meaning it contains zero animal products. Whey protein, a dairy product is the protein source for most protein shakes. however, being that it is dairy makes it a non-vegan product. But Shakeology Tropical gets it's protein from fermented sprouted brown rice. This makes it 100% vegan! Plus, because it does not contain whey protein, it also is lactose free, which means it is a perfect shake for anyone that is lactose intolerant!
New! Shakeology Vegan Chocolate - The chocolate has been reformulated to include a vegan version. In addition to being a vegan meal replacement shake it was also updated to include 4 new superfoods! Plus, it is made from natural cacao so it is not as sweet and it has a richer, darker chocolate taste than the original. Plus, being vegan, it can be used during the Beachbody Ultimate Reset!
Shakeology Recipes
In addition to the difference in opinions over the different flavors, another thing that makes it a little more difficult to decide, is the fact that each flavor comes with a Shakeology recipes guide. This shows you about 30 different ways to add additional healthy ingredients to each of the Shakeology flavors so that each one can be different every day of the month! You practically can never run out of flavor choices. So when it comes down to it, which flavor will you try? People can offer you their opinion, but ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal taste.
