Click here for the U.S. version.<\/p>\n<p>When you hear someone raving about their\u00a0favourite Shakeology recipe, you might wonder how that could possibly help anyone with their health and fitness programme.<\/p>\n<p>But even though it sounds like one of those things that falls squarely in the too-good-to-be-true category,\u00a0<strong>Shakeology<\/strong>\u00a0really\u00a0can\u00a0help you get the nutrients you need to helps support your fitness and nutrition plan.<\/p>\n<p>It works by helping fill some nutritional gaps our diets can have with potent ingredients that help support digestive health\u2021, provide healthy energy\u2020, and just plain help you feel better.<\/p>\n<p>And when we feel better, we do better, by making smarter choices and taking on bigger challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how Shakeology works \u2014 and why you should start drinking it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Backstory<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before we get into the \u201chow,\u201d here\u2019s a little of the\u00a0\u201cwhy\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>Shakeology was created by Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler, nutrition and fitness advocate Isabelle Daikeler, and superfood hunter Darin Olien.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was to create a nutrition product that would help deliver some of the important nutrients that our modern diets might be missing through a delicious shake made with a high standard of ingredient sourcing and quality.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning, Shakeology was envisioned as a whole new type of shake. The promise between the founders was that they would never compromise health benefits for costs or profit.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we search the world over for potent superfoods and combine them in precise ways to help optimise their benefits.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Shakeology Is More Than Just a Protein Shake<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Shakeology is definitely high in protein and each glass provides about as much protein as you\u2019d get from eating\u00a0three large eggs.<\/p>\n<p>And it doesn\u2019t have just one type of protein, but a blend of globally sourced plant-based protein including pea, rice, flax, and quinoa.<\/p>\n<p>But Shakeology isn\u2019t a typical\u00a0protein shake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to the protein blend, it also has a bunch of awesome fruit- and vegetable-based ingredients in it,\u201d says Paige Bente, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are superfood ingredients and important phytonutrients like green tea, pomegranate, and rose hips. There are so many amazing ingredients in this one shake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This superfood nutrition shake can give you a head start on the nutrients you need for the day and help you get through your workouts. \u2020<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Shakeology Can Help You Lose Weight<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Losing weight would be so much easier if the foods we\u00a0want\u00a0were the foods we\u00a0need\u00a0\u2014 but, sadly, it doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n<p>We all know how to lose weight \u2014 eat\u00a0healthy foods,\u00a0watch your portion sizes, and exercise more often \u2014 but it can take serious\u00a0willpower\u00a0to reach for something nutritious when your brain is telling you to eat\u00a0all\u00a0the Halloween sweets.<\/p>\n<p>If that sounds familiar, think of Shakeology as a secret weapon to help you stay on track to lose or maintain your weight when following the Shakeology Meal Replacement Plan.<\/p>\n<p>To lose weight, replace two meals per day with a delicious Shakeology smoothie and eat one balanced, sensible meal.<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast, lunch, dinner \u2013 it\u2019s your choice!<\/p>\n<p>To maintain weight, replace one meal per day and eat two balanced, sensible meals.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s a sensible and balanced meal?<\/p>\n<p>Keep the meal balanced and about 700 to 800 calories. Include reasonable portions of protein, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains.<\/p>\n<p>Most 2B Mindset or Portion Fix meals would work great with the Shakeology Meal Replacement Plan.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Shakeology Can Help Take the Stress Out of Meal Planning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Meal planning can help you lose weight\u00a0by taking the guesswork \u2014 and the last-minute, \u201changry\u201d decisions \u2014 out of eating healthy.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s be honest: Some days you\u2019re inspired to cook a\u00a0healthy meal, and some days you\u2019re just\u2026\u00a0not.<\/p>\n<p>On those days, when you\u2019re not feeling the greens, Shakeology can help you sneak more plant-based nutrients into your diet. (That can be especially helpful if you\u2019re\u00a0not a big fan of veggies.)<\/p>\n<p>And if your\u00a0cooking skills are limited, Shakeology meal replacement recipes can help with that, too.<\/p>\n<p>There are a ton of\u00a0tasty Shakeology recipes\u00a0out there, so it\u2019s an easy way to add more variety to your meal plan, even if you\u2019re not a master chef.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4.
