Amaranth, one of Shakeology’s Ingredients

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 FoodsCo-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!

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

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!

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

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.
