Shakeology Sample for Free

July 20, 2011 by

When I started my very first Beachbody workout program (Power 90) in 2003, one thing I struggled with was eating right. Honing in on what foods worked for me and against me was a challenge. Even in my first round of P90X, I struggled. It wasn’t until round 2 that I started focusing in on eating right. Food does matter. Especially when you are wanting to get lean and ripped.

When Shakeology was released in March of 2008, I was one of the first to use the product. It has been a godsend for me. I am not the biggest fan of vegetables and if I can have a meal replacement that like a chocolate or berry flavored delight, then I’m all in! Shakeology was the first supplement I ever had where I just felt better, had more energy and felt alive!

The thing that impressed me most were the results my parents got after they started with one shake a day. My father finally got his blood sugar levels into the normal range as he has Type II Diabetes. He also lost 27 pounds!

My mother is a breast cancer survivor and also has an issue with swallowing pills. When she showed her oncologist the ingredients in Shakeology, her doctor took her off of 8 supplements and told her that the shake has what she needed in there, so it wasn’t necessary to swallow horse pills. She even lost 14 pounds by combining it with Turbo Jam at the age of 67!

My wife tells me that Shakeology fills that sweet tooth craving of hers, and I agree, it does! She also loves doing a cleanse on occasion using Shakeology to get her back on track.

I know we are just a few success stories here in the family, but we have many other Shakeology success stories coming to us from the people that we coach, all because we tried something, realized the value in it, and recommended it to the people we care about.

You might be sitting there thinking, “will it work for me?” or “what if I don’t like it?” So, I want to help you out. I will send you a FREE Shakeology sample, but only on 3 conditions!

Amaranth, one of Shakeology’s Ingredients

June 8, 2011 by

Amaranth Plant

Amaranth is one of the 70 healthy ingredients in Shakeology. So, what make it so healthy?

Amaranth a great source of vitamins and amino acids, but it’s also high in protein, fiber and helps to boost your immune system. It’s one of those “supergrains” that is extremely high in protein. According to Wikipedia, amaranth seeds are similar to quinoa in that they contain lysine, the amino acid lacking in most other grains that is responsible for adding protein.

Another thing to note is that it contains three times more fiber (and five times more iron) than wheat! It also has more protein than milk. Other benefits include high levels of vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, and phosphorous.

This is a very versatile grain that can be used in a variety of different dishes. It is regularly made into flour and used to create breads, pastas or other baked goods (found primarily in health food stores like Whole Foods,  Co-ops, etc). Amaranth does not contain gluten! This makes it a nice option for people with celiac disease or gluten allergies.

Now, if you are looking to get this supergrain by itself, you’ll have to visit a health food store. Mostly you’ll find it in the form of hot and cold cereals, ready-made bread and mixes for baked goods like cakes and muffins. It has a nutty, “earthy” flavor that complements cold and hot foods nicely.

Another way to benefit from Amaranth, of course, is through Shakeology. This supergrain teams up with many other superfoods to give you an abundance of benefits! It’s one of those grains that has been cultivated for over 8,000 years and was a staple food of the Aztecs. If they only had blenders back then!

Pike Place Fish Market uses Shakeology and P90X to Bring It and Fling It!

May 19, 2011 by

Pike Place Fish Market does P90X

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a … SPLAT!
Woah. I think that was a salmon fillet that just went sailing through the wall at Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle, Washington. Obviously, the amazing, uplifting employees of this world famous attraction are seeing results from Shakeology and P90X!

In April of 2011, we had the fortunate opportunity to visit the well-known Pike Place Market. The first vendor we happened upon was the Pike Place Fish Market. This place always has many people watching in awe and laughter as the workers entertain the crowd with chants and throwing of fish that customers have purchased, before they are wrapped.

Well, we easily struck up great conversation with one of the “fishmongers” named, Sam, who instantly recognized the P90X logo on my hat. He wanted to know if P90X actually worked and got results! What could we do, but go over and share the experience!Pike Place Fish Market does P90X We shared our fitness journey and our amazing experience with Shakeology!

He told us about several of the workers wanting to do the 90-day program, so we thought we would help them out so they could fling fish with speed and accuracy as well as sport 6-pack abs when they wore their waders during the summer! We got a list of the guys who wanted to start P90X. Then we got them set up with their own free Team Beachbody account so they could take advantage of the Online Super Gym and maybe win a daily prize of $1000 just by logging in their workouts! They could also test out many of the other features such as the community message boards, online chats with celebrity trainers and more. We think one of the guys is exploring the amazing meal planner that integrates Shakeology as a part of the Team Beachbody club membership, but don’t quote us on that.

Ryan quickly realized a need to fuel his body right, so he got  Shakeology Home Direct as a part of his eating plan and so far is down 15 pounds as of this writing!

So, who are the Pike Place Fish Guys who are getting into Xcellent and Shaketastic shape? Here are links to their Pike place Profiles
Ryan, Reese, Jake and Erik.

Here was a some feedback from Ryan Y. after his first month:

“…I am excited to switch to phase 2 next week. It will be nice to have a new routine. As far as stats go I have dropped around 15 lbs and almost 2 belt loops. Shakeology is awesome. I haven’t really been to adventurous with it yet. I just mix it with fat free milk and call it good. I was really surprised at how good it tastes.”

We quickly shared the recipes here on ShakeMenu.com so Ryan can give some variety to his blends!

We’re looking forward to hearing from these guys throughout their journey. There is no doubt that these P90Xers and Shakeologist will have the energy and enthusiasm to really bring smiles and joy to the people they meet every single day. Hopefully no fish will be flying through the walls! These entertainers are so much fun to watch. The fish they sell is nothing short of amazing! If you’ve never been there, put it down on your “must do” list. You can also order from them online too and have it shipped overnight and super fresh!

“Bring It and Fling It!”

* If you don’t have Shakeology, you can get it at the link below. Other protein, meal replacement and shake powders may work with the about recipe, but we have found Shakeology to be the healthiest and best hands down.

Coconut Water Health Benefits – Add it to Shakeology

May 1, 2011 by

Coconut Water has recently been a discovery for us since we have been doing a workout program called Insanity: The Asylum from Shaun T.

Insanity Asylum’s eating plan has a Shakeology recipe that calls for coconut water. Not knowing anything about coconut water, we picked up some and tried it out with chocolate Shakeology. WOW! Incredible flavor! A burst of sweetness that tasted oh so good. How did we miss out on this wonderful ingredient? What are the benefits of this mystery water?

Well, our curiosity had us searching for some information on coconut water. Here are some facts that we discovered:

  • More electrolytes than sports drinks.
  • More potassium than 2 bananas.
  • No fat, no cholesterol, low in calories.
  • Helps with hydration.

Recipe to try:

Coco-Loco Shakeolgy – From Insanity Asylum

Directions: Mix in blender.

Shakeology: It’s an Addiction. Bring on the Superfoods

April 25, 2011 by

Shakeology featured in Oprah Magazine

There are times in your life when you become addicted to an amazing recipe, have a favorite food, or anything chocolate.   Yes… chocolate!  I have always been a chocolate lover and have tried to reduce the amount of sugar I splurge on daily.

Two years ago, our company rolled out a new product called Shakeology.  That is when our addiction really began!

The best thing about it… is the texture, the taste, and the amazing varieties we can mix up and absolutely fill up on!  Yes, we fill up on a meal replacement and actually indulge in the splendid flavor!

As a Shakeologist, (name given to perfecting a Shakeology shake and mixing it with other flavors!) we have become fixated with it as a daily delight!  We literally start our day with dessert first! It is exciting to experiment and try new recipes!

When our CEO, Carl Daikeler, rolled out Shakeology, it was tagged as “The Healthiest Meal of the Day!”   No other shake contains the world’s most powerful superfoods!

As evidence …  the recent article in the May 2011 Oprah Magazine about Superfoods!
We knew Shakeology was special!  We knew the story behind how it was formulated!  But reading this article about Darin Olien’s search for the world’s most potent ingredients was mind blowing.   If you haven’t read it, then make sure you pick up a copy at the store this month!   The article takes up 14 pages in Oprah’s O Magazine.  Unbelievable!

What are you waiting for?   Transform your health in 30 days, or you don’t pay!  We offer a 30-day, bottom of the bag guarantee!   Try something your body will crave and thank you for!   Shakeology is not only an addiction for our taste buds, it’s an addiction for our bodies. We enjoy the fuel it gives us every day!

Shakeology superfoods featured on Oprah.com – Many health benefits!

April 7, 2011 by

Darin Olien - Cocreator of Shakeology

Shakeology’s superfoods were recently featured on Oprah.com in an indepth article titled, “The Superfoods That Could Change the Way You Eat, Feel, and Live.” In this article, Oprah.com’s editor in chief travels to Peru to “experience a trove of life-giving superfoods that just might revolutionize your view of nutrition.” Darin Olien takes Susan through Peru and the superfoods located in that part of the world. Just a few of the amazing ingredients that go into Shakeology.

I have been benefiting from Shakeology since it was released in 2009. I have never looked back. It’s my go to breakfast and occasionally a snack! I love it! I’ve been so passionate about this product because I just feel amazing! I have also witnessed many others benefiting from weight loss, energy better digestion and more! Still, I have to admit that I am unfamiliar with all of it’s natural ingredients and the benefits of all of the superfoods it possesses. I mean, I know there are superfood supplements out there, but nothing like this. And nothing out there had such backing to scour the earth for the the most nutrient dense plants. The fact that this product tastes amazing is impressive too. I tell people, “I have dessert first!”

Over the years my wife and I have noticed weight loss (especially when I do a 3 day-cleanse) and more energy. My father has lost weight and his diabetes doctor (an endocrinologist) gave Shakeology a thumbs up. The doc was very impressed at how Dad has his blood sugars under control! My mom’s breast cancer doctor (oncologist) also gave her the green light on Shakeology and actually took her off of 4 of her supplements because the ingredients were in her morning shake! I love how this product is helping out family!

Usually, I point people to UltimateHealthShake.com to learn about Shakeology. I also send them to ShakeMenu.com for recipes. That being said, here’s another great way to learn.

Below is a video clip showing more parts of the world.
