Shakeology: How to Perfect the Texture & Taste

Shakeology: How to Perfect the Texture & Taste

What do people have to say about other shakes on the market they've tried?

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. However, without getting a chance to sample Shakeology, it’s impossible to understand the difference.

1) YOU ARE USED TO ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS:

For those of you who don't know, Shakeology is 100 percent natural. Shakeology, developed by a vegan expert with masters degrees in nutrition and agricultural anthropology., was created WITHOUT artificial colors, flavors, stimulants, sweeteners or chemically-modified micronutrients. Nearly every other shake on the market, whether it be for weight loss, protein or other uses, contains significant amounts of manmade chemicals, artificial flavors and sweeteners and cheap fillers, specifically soy. These producers of these other shakes dump these chemicals in to make their products live up to what most of us have been brainwashed to think things should taste like. The sad but honest truth it that we are so accustomed to artificial junk in our food that we don’t recognize natural flavors , so we reject them as tasting bad. Developing Shakeology took a lot of time and research to make it the cleanest, purest product possible.

2) TRY MIXING IT WITH ALMOND MILK or COCONUT MILK:
Because Shakeology is made from all natural ingredients, it’s not chemically formulated to be perfectly smooth. For this reason, some first time users think it’s gritty or extremely thick. However, you can work on your preparation methods to fix this. Adding milk, such as unsweetened vanilla almond milk, will make it much smoother than just water. Reducing the amount of Shakeology you use or pouring in some extra milk will help it seem thinner and less gritty. It may require a little experimentation, but you will get it right if you keep trying!

3) ADD SMOOTH INGREDIENTS:
You can also change the texture of your shake by adding natural ingredients such as, peanut or almond butter, bananas, strawberries, Greek yogurt and ice.

4) BLEND IT WELL:
If you don't have one already, invest in a quality blender so you can break it down enough to make it truly silken, regardless of how many other things you put with it. This will make it much smoother than simply using a shaker cup. The longer you blend it, the more it will help with the texture.
