Shakeology was introduced to me by Coach Beth Young from Team Beachbody. If you are not familiar with Beachbody products and workouts, you don’t know what you’re missing! I’ve used their p90x workout for about a year now and it works just as it promises…there is nothing easy about it, but it works. I am also just starting their new Insanity workout, and OMG they picked the perfect name for that one!
The reason I am talking about the Beachbody workouts is because 50% of the program is exercise and 50% is nutrition. When you work out as hard as the program expects you to, you WANT to see results. Eating the right foods at the right times is critical if you want that ultimate body transformation in 90 or even 60 days. Shakeology has two flavors; Chocolate and Greenberry were both delicious but I do suggest you use a small hand held mixer vs. just trying to mix with a spoon. I was thrilled to see that Shakeology committed to claiming their products as GF. See their statement below:
Is it safe for celiacs or people with gluten allergies? It says gluten-free on the package, but the label lists wheatgrass and kamut grass as ingredients.
After extensive testing, Shakeology has been found to be 100% gluten-free. As such, Shakeology should be an appropriate snack or meal for people suffering from gluten allergies or celiac disease. However, since individual allergies and conditions vary, it is recommended to test a small dose first before proceeding with a full serving.
Contact Coach Beth if you have questions or if you’d like to make an order. You might be looking for a meal replacement or a simply way ensure the protein you are consuming comes from the right sources…either way Shakology is a must try!
