I recently received a few samples of Shakeology's new Tropical Strawberry shake. I was really excited to try it since I was a big fan of their chocolate shake but prefer fruity flavors in the morning. I mixed the powder with a handful of frozen strawberries, 1 frozen banana, and 8 oz of Almond Milk. I LOVED it, it was so tasty and satisfying and really did keep me feeling full and energized until lunch time, which is awesome. If you are looking for a tasty & healthy meal replacement shake I would definitely check this one out. It is Vegan & Gluten Free*, which is fabulous!
Here is a picture of the shake I made. My husband used one of my samples and he just shook the mix up in a water bottle with some water and he said it tasted great that way too. I personally prefer some substance to my shakes so I like to add frozen fruit, but nice to know it tastes good with just water too!
If you are interested in trying Shakeology for yourself check out my friend Nickie's website:
*Shakeology Shakes are gluten free. They do contain wheat, barley, oat, & kamut grass, but it is picked before it matures. Here is the statement from their CEO about if Shakeology contains gluten :The quick answer to this question is no, Shakeology contains no gluten. Gluten allergens come from the “protein” found in wheat, barley and other grains. The protein develops once the grains mature. The wheat grass, kamut grass, barley grass and oat grass used in Shakeology are gathered just as they sprouted, BEFORE the wheat matures. These fresh sprouts are collected PRIOR to the development of any wheat protein (gluten). It’s true that mature wheat and barley grains contain gluten. However, the freshly sprouted young grasses used in Shakeology are certified gluten free. Shakeology is tested for gluten by an independent lab in order to receive the “Gluten Free” certification.
