New Greenberry Shakeology...but is it improved?

Zach and I drink Shakeology every day. Every. Single. Day. We drink it because we think nutrition is really important, and Shakeology is the best formulated shake out there. It gives us everything we need, and it's pretty much the only supplement we use, aside from from some occasional Whey protein powder and Recovery Formula on Shaun T days. I don't even take a multivitamin, because all that (and more) is in Shakeology.

We get all three flavors -- chocolate, tropical strawberry, and greenberry -- delivered to our house on a rotating basis. Chocolate is always available (because it's delicious and tastes like a chocolate shake), and greenberry and strawberry rotate every other month.

Until now I have merely tolerated greenberry. It was the flavor most Beachbody Coaches loved to hate. It's not that it was undrinkable -- I found that it was fine with some vanilla protein powder and a citrus fruit or juice mixed in (orange or pineapple). But I didn't love it like I do chocolate. (When I decide to have chocolate Shakeology for breakfast, by 9am I'm sad because I don't have a shake to look forward to that day).

So when Beachbody announced that they gave greenberry a makeover, I was interested to see how it would taste. Earlier this week we had a family-wide taste test:

We have a winner! Upon second (and third) drinking of greenberry, I'd describe it as berry vanilla-ish. Very light and smooth, and it mixes well with other flavors. I threw some raspberries in the other day and it was really good. I can whole-heartedly recommend greenberry now (something that I couldn't do before. Before I warned people that it tasted very..."Healthy").

Here are the technical details on the other changes to the formula:

• Reduced calories from 140 to 130 per serving
• Reduced Sugars from 11g to 6g per serving! (5 grams less than before!)
• Reduced Total Carbs from 19g to 13g per serving
• Increased Protein from 16g to 17g per serving
• Fiber increased from 3g to 4g due to the addition of pea protein and increase in super greens.
• Reduced fructose necessary in the formula due to the addition of Luo Han Guo
• We added Shakeology's newest superfoods: Luo Han Guo, Moringa and Himalayan Salt.
• We increased the amount of super-greens (it is Greenberry after all!) and included an even more delicious natural flavor which works more harmoniously with the formula to makes Greenberry sweeter and fruitier.
• Green tea used is no longer decaffeinated — therefore it is less "processed".
• (Note: Green tea is naturally very low in caffeine).
• Plus we incorporated the improvements we made recently to Chocolate:
• More concentrated grasses. We're using grass juice powders. The grasses are first pressed into juices—which allows us to concentrate the nutrients—then the juice is further concentrated into a powder. (Before we were just grinding the grasses themselves into powders)
• Better strain of probiotics
• No suma root or blue-green algae
• Still Low Glycemic Index
