The protein blend features raw, sprouted, fermented brown rice protein, along with sacha inchi, chia, flax, quinoa, amaranth, and spirulina. Tropical is a completely plant-based formula with NO animal products. This makes it very easily digested and assimilated by your body.

Coconut Flower Nectar- The flower of a coconut tree produces nectar that’s sweet, is low on the glycemic index (GI), and loaded with fiber, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

Lou Han Guo Fruit- This low glycemic fruit has been used in Asia for centuries for immune and respiratory support and as healthy way to lend natural sweetness to foods.

So, you’ve by now read all about how good Shakeology is.  I wanted to take this time to give you some more facts.  Now I can’t take credit for this.  This was written by Mr. Carl Daikeler.  It was written based on all of those questions that they (Beachbody) recieved in regards to why Shakeology was so special (compared to all of those other meal replacement / protein shakes out there).

Shakeology was created by nutritionists (one of whom was Mr. Daikeler’s own wife) because they wanted to make something that anyone who wanted to eat healthier, but didn’t like vegetables, could eat.  One that was whole foods based filled with prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and phytonutrients and one that tasted GOOD.

Now again, I’m no nutritionist and I don’t know the science behind what makes this shake so good for me (that I will leave up to Mr. Daikeler to tell you).  All I know is these facts based on my experience drinking this shake everyday for the past year:

• It tastes GOOD!!!!  Chocolate, Greenberry and new Tropical coming soon, I mean, come on  …….
• It has given me energy I haven’t had in a long time.
• It has stopped my cravings (I’m actually craving the shakes) for all that stuff my body was very used to.
• I lost 25 pounds

Of course I again can go on and on about how Shakeology and Beachbody have changed my life.  But why don’t you take the time to read some more facts from Mr. Daikeler about Shakeology  here below:

There are many “protein shakes” and meal replacements that are less
expensive than Shakeology. But comparisons – based on the simple “protein
shake” or even “health shake” are usually off the mark because of intangibles
like quality of sourcing, efficacy, and the delicate balance of incredible
health benefits and delicious flavor that is unique to Shakeology.

When we developed Shakeology, our goal was to fill a void in the marketplace
where the benefits of the shake would live up to the promise of the line “The
Healthiest Meal of the Day.” Shakeology was designed for people who want more
than protein, and for people who really expect the health benefits being
represented by the ingredients on the label. With Shakeology not only do you
get what you pay for, but because it tastes so good and the attention to every
detail is so complete, you get more than you pay for.

To really know whether a product measures up to Shakeology, you need to keep
some things in mind:

How Much is “Enough”?

We are proud of Shakeology’s 70+ ingredients. Other shakes will trumpet the
number of ingredients they have too. But are the ingredients they are counting
actually good for you?

Are they derived from whole food sources? They are in Shakeology! Too often
the “magic ingredient” has been isolated from the enzymes and phytonutrients
which actually are what is needed to make the “magic ingredient” effective when
consumed.

And does the competition formulate for the synergistic benefits between the
ingredients, or just slap together whatever is hot in the media? Shakeology was
specially formulated for the collection of ingredients to work together like a
symphony; this combination is so effective some people report dramatic benefits
within the first week. We’re not just talking about weight loss here, we’re
talking meaningful health benefits; regularity, energy, vitality!

Other supplements point to one or two individual ingredients and build a
“story” around their super food attributes… that’s like saying you can put
Michael Jordan on a team of amateurs and still have a championship caliber
team. Shakeology’s specially selected ingredients work like the dream team, all
working together so YOU get the health benefits from the healthiest meal of the
day.

Vanilla?

If the shake you’re considering is vanilla, how do they achieve vanilla
flavoring? Our research indicates that it is impossible for the superfoods,
adaptogen herbs, anti-oxidants, phytonutrients and digestive enzymes to
co-exist and taste good in a vanilla flavor, unless the vanilla flavor is
achieved chemically and artificially. (It’s the “dirty little secret” of the
flavoring industry even though labeling guidelines still allow this artificial
flavoring to be called “natural vanilla flavoring”) Other companies are willing
to use that labeling loophole for their benefit. But not Shakeology.

So here’s the question; are you drinking the shake so you can enjoy vanilla,
or so you can get the incredible health benefits from a shake that doesn’t
taste like a “health drink”? We call Shakeology “the healthiest meal of the
day” for a reason, and we plan on doing what it takes to live up to that.

Protein:

When it comes to comparing protein quality, you need to look closely to see
the truth:

“Say NO to soy”

Does the competition use ANY soy in their formulation? Soy protein contains
estrogen-mimicking compounds that can interfere with your hormones, and on top of that most of the soy in the marketplace is GMO (genetically modified), two
important reasons why we don’t use soy in Shakeology.

It is our general opinion that many people are consuming too much soy in the
pursuit of health – and thus perhaps producing too much estrogen which can
cause many adverse issues in the body. Do a little research of your own on the
topic, and you will be as shocked as we are at what you will learn about soy.

Likewise, if a company is promoting that their protein is “more absorbable”,
be careful. Protein sources like Whey Protein Hydrolysate have been shown to
trigger a much higher insulin response in the body. That’s not an outcome we
would tolerate in any health shake, much less Shakeology.

Our protein source is whey protein isolate, which is more than 90
percent pure protein. Plus, Shakeology is loaded with digestive enzymes-and
lactase, that’s the enzyme that breaks down lactose and is found in
over-the-counter products like Lactaid^®. Don’t confuse whey protein
concentrate with “isolate”. Whey protein concentrate is the least pure form of
whey protein made. The benefits of “isolate” vs. “concentrate” is that the fat
has been removed to achieve “isolate”. The fat in whey protein is what carries
toxins consumed by the animal. That’s the reason Shakeology can be used by so
many people who are lactose-intolerant – because those toxins have been removed through the isolate process.

We also look at the source of every single protein batch that shows up at
the manufacturer. If we find the manufacturer is cutting a corner by bringing
in protein from farms that use hormones or are ok feeding inorganic materials
to their cattle, we tell them to find another source. This is the kind of
scrutiny that other companies just don’t give their product, and it’s the kind
of attention to detail which doesn’t show on the label. (But it does show in
how you feel when you consume the product over the long term!)

Glycemic index tested…

In terms of sugar, many protein shakes have 1g of sugar or less.
This is because they are using artificial chemical sweeteners (check the label for sucralose, aspartame, or sugar alcohols). Shakeology’s small amounts of sugar comes from natural sources which are easily processed by the body and in fact has been tested and certified by an independent lab to have a Low Glycemic Index of 24 – that’s lower than most fruits (an apple is 36 and an orange is 43)!

What is not in the base, they may suggest you add later:

Other shakes don’t cost as much as Shakeology at first glance, but they also
don’t contain the full profile of vitamins and minerals or whole-food sources
of anti-oxidants, phytonutrients, adaptogen herbs, prebiotics, probiotics or
digestive enzymes. We’ve seen competitors make you buy a separate vitamin pack
for $150 per month! And if you want chocolate flavoring you have to buy a
separate flavor packet for an extra $25 a month. If you want metabolism
boosting effects and appetite control, you have to buy 2 additional products at
$50 each. Once you add it up, this is hardly a “good deal” and it is usually
questionably healthy..

To achieve the benefits of Shakeology we’ve seen competitors charge between
$250 and $335 per month! $120 doesn’t seem expensive when you realize all of
the benefits Shakeology delivers.

SUMMARY:

Formula: 70+
of the healthiest ingredients from whole food sources from around the world
(including anti-oxidants, phytonutrients, adaptogen herbs, prebiotics,
digestive enzymes, vitamins and minerals VS. protein, fillers, artificial
coloring, and isolated glamour ingredients

Winner: Shakeology

Protein Source:
Shakeology’s 15g of pure whey protein isolate plus 2g from plant sources VS
soy, hydrolyzed whey and/or whey concentrate blend.

Winner: Shakeology

Taste: Rich
chocolate or greenberry Shakeology Vs. chemically derived artificial-flavored
competition?

Winner: Shakeology

Price: $120
for Shakeology VS. Oops! It’s impossible to compare lesser formulations on
price. But if you add in all the separate vitamins and flavoring agents the
other companies ask you to buy to (try and) match the benefits and nutritional
content of Shakeology, you would easily spend over $300 every month – that’s 2
½ times the cost of Shakeology! Sure, chocolate milk is cheaper than
Shakeology. A vanilla soy shake can be cheaper than Shakeology – until you try
to add what Shakeology’s got, and match what Shakeology can do for you, and
then it’s no contest.

Winner: Shakeology

The best comparison is results. From weight loss and reduction in
cravings, to regularity, to healthier cholesterol levels, to energy, to an
overall sense of well being… We give a bottom-of-the-bag money-back guarantee on Shakeology because we KNOW people will be amazed at how they feel.
Shakeology is the winner by a total knock out!
