Zach has been drinking Shakeology for one month. He has been very happy with the product. He likes the way it tastes, he likes that it keeps him full, and he likes that it takes about one minute to fix every morning. (And because inquiring minds want to know: The pooping? Still awesome.)
He has maintained a seven- to ten-pound weight loss, depending on the time of day. This is the guy who will lose anywhere from three to four pounds at night while he sleeps. He knows this because of all the note taking. For the spreadsheets. The Spreadsheets!
I've been spending a lot of time talking about what Shakeology has done for Zach, but very little talking about what is actually in Shakeology. Here is the equivalent of what you would have to eat for every cup of Shakeology:
- 10 cups cauliflower
- 4 cups broccoli
- 4 cups mushrooms
- 4 cups radishes
- 3 cups lettuce
- 1 cup of peas
- 7 carrots
- 3 raw onions
- Plus a shot of wheat grass
Much is made about the cost of Shakeology - it is about $4 per shake - but when you take into consideration where else your money (and your nutrition) might be going, four bucks starts to not look so bad:
Stop at Starbucks much? (Click for larger view)
How about Jamba Juice?
McDonald's for a quick lunch?
So in a head to head cost competition, Shakeology beats the McDonald's. But the thing is, the Big Mac Value Meal will cost you a lot more than $5.19 in the long run.
The new bag of Shakeology should arrive this week. And I've been told that if I want any, I should buy my own! (In the most loving way possible, of course.)
