I didn't order Shakeology right away. I wasn't convinced. I am a picky eater and I am very sensitive to the texture of food. I was worried that it would be chalk-like and I would hate it. I let that fear get the best of me instead of trying something that was good for my health.
Until I became a coach. Beachbody is huge on Coaches being the Product of the Product. Which they should be. That is why I value the company so much. If I'm going to tell other people they should try it, then I need to try it too!
So I put my fears aside and ordered it. There's a 30 day money back guarantee, even with an empty bag, so I don't know what I was so afraid of? It didn't have anything to do with the money. It was that I knew how good it would be for me and I was afraid that I wouldn't like it.
So a LONG 10 days later, it finally arrived. That's what happens when you live in Korea:-) That next day, I was ready for my first drink.
And let me tell you... it wasn't that great. My heart fell a little. It was AWFUL, I could still drink it, but I didn't love it. I mixed it with 1 cup of water, 1 cup of frozen Strawberries, and blended it.
But I didn't want to give up yet. I remembered a pin I posted for a chocolate Shakeology recipe. So the next day, I got my blender out. Poured in 1 Cup of Almond Milk, 1 Scoop of Chocolate Shakeology, 1 tsp of Vanilla, and Ice. It was DELICIOUS. It tasted like a Chocolate milkshake. I drank that thing so fast, it was gone within minutes.
No joke people. It's all in how you make it. A few days later, and now I still make it with Almond Milk, but I do about 2/3 Almond Milk, 1/3 Water, 1 tsp Vanilla, and Ice. I like the vanilla because it helps tone down the extreme chocolate taste. Even Sadie likes it:-)
There are so many ways to make it and so many recipes to be found. If the taste is what is holding you back, don't let it! As a certified particular eater, I LOVE my daily shakeology now. Why wouldn't you love drinking a chocolate milkshake as the healthiest meal of the day?
