VEGAN Chocolate Shakeology Available June 26th!

Hey everyone!!

I just got home from Summit and I am really looking forward to sharing what I learned with all of you and my team...but right now I want to make sure you know some great news! In our opening General Summit meeting, CEO Carl Daikler announced that Shakeology will now be available in VEGAN CHOCOLATE! And we don't have to wait for months for it to be released...only a few days!

A lot of people asked for it after the release of the first vegan formula, Tropical Strawberry. Now those people who follow a vegan diet, want a more plant based diet, or have dairy allergies have a new option. :) I made a video of myself trying the new flavor for the first time. Unfortuntaly, when I ordered mine from the Shakeology bar they gave me one with banana and peanut butter blended in with the Shakeology. I ordered more the next day...making sure I got it plain. Without the banana/pb it wasn't as creamy and was more like a slushy. To me, it was pretty good...but AMAZING with the banana/pb mixture. That's usually what I do with the current chocolate flavor anyway but usually with PB2, banana, water and lots of ice and I never get sick of it! It's my delicious treat!



The new flavor of Vegan Chocolate Shakeology will be available in the:

* Bag-  Tuesday, June 26th
Challenge Packs-  Thursday, June 28th and
* Single-serving packets-  Thursday, July 5th

Learn more

 The new blend includes 5 new superfoods (such as moringa and Himalayan salt), made with natural Cacoa and sweetened with coconut nectar instead of Non-GMO fructose. The new Vegan chocolate can used during the Ultimate Reset!


Best value during purchase is in the bag (30 servings) on Home Direct (will give you free shipping.) Free shipping is available for the United States and Canada with Home Direct!

I will be offering samples of the new formula soon.
Ingredients list coming soon! Stay tuned for more great news from Summit!

The Beachbody Ultimate Reset Program


My husband I are very excited to be starting the Beachbody Ultimate Reset program on July 5th. We welcome anyone who's interested to join us on this 21-day journey. The results people are getting with this AMAZING program are undeniable! If I get enough people to join our group I will have a prize incentive. :)

For those of you who don't know what the Ultimate Reset is, it's a 21 day cleanse program where you eat SUPER clean and rid the body of toxins that its been holding on to for decades. I have been amazed at the real life results I've been seeing in so many others. 10, 20, 30 lbs lost, big drops in cholestol, huge benefits for health, etc.. People blowing through plateaus in their weight loss and learning life-long skills/habits. Tropical Shakeology is an option for the reset and helps to simplify things, but not required. Moderate to intense exercise is not recommended for this program. Only light exercise (such as the Beachbody program Tai Cheng, or walking) to aid in the detoxing process.

If you are interested in saving 25% contact me for details!


Ultimate Reset FAQs


Will I be hungry all the time during the Ultimate Reset?

No. You'll eat three healthy, satisfying meals every day. Most participants found the meals provided them with plenty of food. Just in case, though, we also give you a list of tasty snacks you can eat while still maintaining your Reset.

What's the difference between the Ultimate Reset and most cleanses on the market?

During the Ultimate Reset, you'll eat three healthy, satisfying meals every day and take supplements. You won't starve, drink only juice, or eat only meal replacements. You'll become familiar with delicious new foods and recipes that will help you maintain your health gains beyond these 21 days. In other words, the Reset isn't a quick fix. It's a path to real, long-term change.

Will I lose weight on the Ultimate Reset?

Probably. Most Reset participants have lost weight. However, they're even more excited to have acquired new, healthy habits and released unhealthy ones. They've eliminated cravings for sugar and caffeine, learned delicious ways to prepare fruits and vegetables, and grown more aware of how different foods affect their moods and energy levels, making it easier for them to continue eating healthily.

Can I work out during my Ultimate Reset?

No, for the 21 days of the Ultimate Reset, we suggest you refrain from strenuous exercise. The Reset is already giving your body a serious internal workout. After your Reset, you'll be ready to resume your Beachbody workout program and benefit even more from your efforts.

I'm on medication. Can I do the Reset?

Check with your physician before beginning the Reset to make sure that it won't react negatively with any medication you're taking.

I'm pregnant. Can I do the Ultimate Reset?

No. Your body's systems are already working hard. Wait to do the Reset another time.

What if I have questions, or need help understanding something in the Reset?

Don't worry! You'll have the support and guidance of your Coach every step of the way. And because your Coach has already completed the Reset, she'll know how to answer your questions from experience.

Chocolate Covered Banana Recipe

One of the biggest benefits of Shakeology for me has been that it satisfies my cravings for sweets. I now crave less and buy and make very little sweets. Shakeology is able to do this through the potent nutrition and certain super foods that help satisfy the body, and because it's a treat in itself! When the body is completely nourished it naturally wants less. It also helps motivate me to eat healthier throughout the day. I've been drinking it now for about 8 months and still feel it working for me every day...in my energy level, keeping me full, helping me maintain a good weight and so much more. And since I drink it every day, it's nice to be able to mix thing up a little differently! Instead of my icy chocolate milk shake, some days I like to make more food-like items. Here is one treat that I came up with:

Chocolate Covered Banana




1/2 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
2 Tbs. coconut oil
1 Tbs. PB2 (Optional. PB2 is peanut butter with the oil pressed out...PB taste without all the fat. Great product! You can find it at your local grocery store or at the above link.)
1 tsp. honey or stevia (Optional)
2 medium sized bananas

Mix the Shakeology, coconut oil, PB2 and honey together. Dip bananas or drizzle mixture over bananas. Freeze for approximately 20 minutes. The bananas are great slightly frozen and the chocolate mixture will make a hard shell. This can be done with any fruit and tastes amazing!

Enjoy!


And who doesn't ♥ LOVE 
Chocolate Covered Strawberries?!

I made these the same way, but without PB2. They taste amazing. Perfect combination of flavors!

Breastfeeding While Drinking Shakeology


I wanted to address a topic that I get asked about often...
"Is it okay to drink Shakeology while nursing?"

Many new mothers are interested in losing the baby weight, but are worried about things passing through to their milk. I had done research and found Shakeology to be amazing (and healthy) tool for weight loss but I'll admit that I was a little hesitant about drinking it at first. The sample of Shakeology that I had requested from my Beachbody coach sat on my counter for a couple months before I tried it! Finally, I did a little research online and found mostly what the bag says...that it's fine but recommended to speak to your doctor before supplementing while nursing. I showed the nutrition label to my daughter's pediatrician (who uses Beachbody products herself.) She was impressed with all that was included in Shakeology and gave me the go-ahead! She even said it was fine for my toddler (this particular doctor said no more than half a serving.)

From what I read, most doctors give Shakeology a BIG thumbs up...come on, have you SEEN the ingredients list?! :) From what I read of doctors saying no it was mostly for liability reasons.






The thing about Shakeology is it's ALL NATURAL...no chemicals, preservatives or colorings! There is HIGH QUALITY isolate protein, vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, super-greens, super-fruits and so much more. Over 70 of the most nutritious foods in the world!! It certainly is potent nutrition but better then most anything else you could be eating! Including fast food, which is loaded with chemicals and preservatives. And so are many other foods that many nursing mothers eat/drink without a second thought.


Shakeology is an INCREDIBLE tool for weight loss. This is because the body is truly nourished and is able to heal from damage we've caused it over the years. Other wonderful benefits include gaining energy, correcting digestion, curbing your appetite for junk/sweets, lowering cholesterol, better mental clarity, to feel full, and so much more. What new mother doesn't want more ENERGY and MENTAL CLARITY? Drinking Shakeology also helps people to get more fruits & vegetables into the diet as you find your favorite recipes that incorporate them.


The main benefits that I have personally seen by substituting one meal per day with Shakeology have been:
  • Weight loss (about 7 lbs...didn't have too much to lose)
  • More energy for working out and my day
  • Better mental clarity
  • An amazing feeling over overall health
  • Appetite satisfied (keeps me full for hours!)
  • It takes care of my cravings for junk ...and... 
  • Helps motivate me to eat healthier for the rest of the day. It's seriously the best boost every time I drink it! I felt a difference the first time I tried it and I feel a difference every day.


One of my personally sponsored coaches had the same question about nursing and Shakeology. Once her doctor gave her the go-ahead to follow a weight loss plan she tried many things but it wasn't until she started Shakeology when she says the pounds start melting off. To this day it has helped her lose 40 pounds!! She is thrilled that she made the decision to take The Beachbody Challenge!!

Foodfacts.com gives Shakeology a score of 97 out of 100! One of the only reasons why they did not give Shakeology a 100 is because of the controversial ingredient Blue Green Algae. Beachbody is actually taking this ingredient out of Shakeology and the change will be reflected on new bags coming out in the next few months. They find that that sourcing of this ingredient free from toxins will become progressively harder as time goes one.




My recommendation:
Start off the first couple days with a half serving (one half scoop or packet). This will help your own body adjust to the burst of nutrition and also to see if baby has any reactions. After the first couple days, if things continue to go well, begin replacing one meal a day with the full scoop (very filling!) And take advantage of Shakeology's 30 day money back guarantee to make sure it's something that will be of great value in your own life. Most people find it be an great blessing and tool to reach their goals...and it tastes AMAZING! (Particularly the chocolate flavor.)


My baby and I have never experienced any adverse reactions...only the wonderful benefits of Shakeology. My baby is now 11 months old and is healthy, alert and very strong. She rarely gets sick and is still exclusively nursing!
