Why Does Shakeology Cost So Much?
Now here’s a question that I get asked A LOT!
I find that it’s because most people don’t understand what Shakeology
really is. That being said, let me give you some background information on my
story.
It is not simply a “protein shake” or some magic “weight loss shake.” It’s a superfood health shake designed to be
used as a meal replacement.
My Shakeology story is a very reluctant one. When I was first
introduced to it I thought the girl talking to me was insane. You know when you’re
learning about something and it sounds so incredible that it must be too good
to be true? That’s how I felt. There was just one problem though… it tastes
like a smoothie? Now maybe I am the only weirdo who feels this way but I am not
a fan of smoothies whatsoever. They don’t taste very good to me and I could
never understand the point of drinking food versus just eating it. On top of
that, why would I buy Shakeology then… why would I need a $4 superfood drink?
After doing 3 months of research, I decided to bite the bullet. If I liked it
and found it helpful, great…if I absolutely hated it, there was a 30 day money
back guarantee. What did I have to lose?
I am young, but I do have health issues I wish I didn’t have. To name a
few, I am a functional hypoglycemic and I have struggled with irritable bowel
syndrome since I was 15. This is something that I have found to be a huge
benefit for me and these health conditions.
Shakeology scored a 24 on the glycemic index scale by the Glycemic
Index Laboratories, which is perfect for controlling my blood sugar.
Shakeology also contains digestive enzymes and probiotics; one of these
being Bacillus Coagulans. Bacillus Coagulans is the only strain that can pass
all the way through the digestive process, survive your stomach acids and reach
your intestines where they can be effective. Studies show that this probiotic
may help to rectify problems associated with IBS and other digestion issues. Because
of Shakeology I hardly ever have to take my medication for it.
Aside from this, Shakeology has also helped me curb my sugar cravings.
Unfortunately for me, I fall under the large percent of people who have a “sweet
tooth.” I love chocolate and I love chocolate chip cookies; I may even be one
of Chips Ahoy’s biggest fans. You know that nice innocent looking blue package
of Chips Ahoy? They were my go-to when I was stressed. The same way that some
people smoke or drink when they are stress, these cookies are what I used as my
stress reliever. After a week of drinking Shakeology, I didn’t crave them at
all. People having chocolate around me didn’t bother me one bit. I now turn to
exercise as my stress reliever; what a great swap, right?
The bottom line for my story is that I would rather spend $3
(discounted coach price) on a nutritious health shake than on an unhealthy
drink at Starbucks every day.
Now back to addressing the
original topic: Why is Shakeology so expensive?
The simple answer is that it’s because of what’s in it.
It’s packed full of over 70 exotic superfoods cast around from all over
the globe which are known to promote health and wellness. When purchased
separately, these superfoods are crazy expensive! Getting them all in one drink
instead of buying them separately is a huge money saver. Just to give you an idea of how much it costs to buy each of these superfoods separately, I did some more research and put together a collage of just a few of the 70+ superfoods as a visual to help.

As someone who is known as a “penny pincher,” I’ve found that buying
stuff that’s cheap usually isn’t the best strategy. What is the best strategy
is finding the best value for your money. I fully acknowledge that Shakeology
seems expensive upfront, but to me it gives me the biggest bang for my buck.
Who buys 1/3 of their groceries for the whole month in one day? Most people don’t
go to the grocery store to buy 30 meals at once; therefore if you do that, of
course it’s going to seem expensive.
Knowledge is power and for me, it took learning about Shakeology and
trying it for myself to convince me. This is also why so many of my challengers
continue on with it after they hit their weight loss goals and even sign up as
discount coaches to enjoy 25% off their Shakeology each month!
