Shakeology: Not your average protein shake

I have NEVER been a very big fan of protein shakes.  I would always spend too much money on them at the local supplement store and then let them sit in the pantry for months on end because I could never enjoy them enough to drink on a regular basis.  Chalky, artificial tasting, yucky-ness.  


For years I had been hearing about Shakeology, but like many stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the price.  I remember thinking that people were crazy for spending that kind of money on a protein powder that they could get for a fraction of the cost at a supplement store... but then I realized that I was one of those people spending money on the lower-priced item and dreading every sip.

At $4/day how can you afford NOT to drink it?!

FINALLY I gave Shakeology a try and I couldn't be happier!!  When I placed my order, vanilla was the newest flavor so I gave it a shot.  Holy moly.  It is like a vanilla shake.  The best part is, you can add practically any flavor to it and it is amazing.  I love peanut butter, so that is an easy go-to but also, a cup full of fresh or frozen fruit with a splash of low-cal OJ gives you an awesome smoothie!

My favorite recipe right now is to use a scoop of vanilla ShakeO with 1 1/2 cups of cold coffee and 5 ice cubes.  Pop them in the blender and BOOM you have yourself a low-cal, nutrient PACKED Frappuccino  :)

Another thing I have been considering is making my own caramel sauce to add.  I have seen a bunch of crock-pot caramel recipes on Pinterest and have been dying to try them.  I will be sure to let you know how that goes!
