The Healthiest Meal of the Day: Shakeology VS other "shakes" and "meal replacements"

When I started my weight loss and health journey, I thought that I need to drink my calories because food calories were "evil". I was so lost and took advice from TV commercials and never looked at an ingredient list or what I was actually consuming. You see all the time on commercials to try SlimFast or fast options to lose weight. But have you ever looked at the ingredients of some of those shakes? Half of the stuff you cannot even pronounce! I don't want to put that in my body on a daily basis! Our bodies aren't meant to have that in our systems because it doesn't know how to properly digest it, so it stores it as fat. (Kind of the opposite effect of what you are trying to do right?) I decided to take a look at some of the products out there and compare it to Shakeology, a CLEAN and HEALTHY meal or snack replacer. I use Shakeology on a daily basis because it has 70 all natural ingredients, have 23 vitamins and minerals, helps me reach my veggie servings for the day and keeps me full, energized and helathy! I also know that it is good for my body, just not for weight loss (even though it has helped me tremendously with my weightloss journey). I will talk more about Shakeology in a little bit.


So lets just compare the nutritional facts a minute.
 Alot of people see calories, carbs, fat and protein and stop there! NOO!!! LOOK AT THE INGREDIENTS!! Yes, Shakeology has more calories than they average shake out there but guess what? They are all good calories. Not all calories are created equally! Calories from fruit, veggies, lean protein and complex carbs (things that are included in Shakeology) are not the same as artificial, fake and processed calories (what is found in the other shakes below).

What Ingredients are in These Shakes

Again, if you just look at the stats, it looks like there are options with less calories, but you need to be concerned with WHAT is in those shakes. Below is pics of the ingredient list for each of the shakes listed above. Take a close look because only ONE has all natural ingredients in it.
