Shakeology Sunday: Orange Dream



Ok I know what everyone is thinking...all I do is talk about Chocolate Shakeology!  Well I thought I would switch it up and offer a really tasty Vanilla Shakeology recipe this week.  It's one I love even more now that the weather is warming up and I'm looking for that extra boost of Vitamin C to start my day.

The key to this recipe is the fresh squeezed orange juice.  If available, buy it at your local grocery store.  If it isn't available, try your hand at juicing and only use store bought OJ as a last resort.  Make sure you check the label though!  Lots of store brands have hidden sugars and other additives to make them taste "better" and to allow for a longer shelf life.

Here is how to start your day with an Orange Dream:

4-8 oz. Water
4-8 oz. Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (our local grocery store does this on site)
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
add ice to taste if desired

Then shake in your favorite shaker cup or blend (especially if you add ice).

Enjoy this ray of sunshine to start your day off right!

Shakeology Sunday: Peanut Butter Cup (or Tagalong Cookie) Inspired





Peanut butter and chocolate are two of my favorite things on earth so it was important to me to try to fill that craving somehow.  Since I started drinking Shakeology, my cravings are down, I've seen better weightloss results, reduced my bloating, and seen higher quality/faster nail and hair growth.  I can't live without my morning shake!

This has been my "go to" recipe since I started drinking Shakeology about 8 months ago.  Here is my magic formula for a liquid peanut butter cup (or Tagalong cookie for your GS cookie addicts!)

Here is how it is done! 

Blend or shake up:
8-16 oz. cashew milk (or other dairy or nut milk)
2 tbsp. PB2 (or natural peanut butter)
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
ice to taste (optional)

Enjoy!

Shakeology Sunday: Thin Mint Inspired



I'm having one of "those" times of the month where I'm deeply craving sweets.  I can pass up a lot of things, but my vice in the realm of sweets is actually cookies.  I already know I can't live without my Shakeology so I thought I would combine the two!

While unlike most people I'm not a Thin Mint addict (more of a Tagalong person myself), I do enjoy them periodically so I thought I would experiment with a recipe that has gotten passed around quite a bit and make myself a "healthy" liquid Thin Mint!

Here is how it is done!

Blend or shake up:

8-16 oz. cashew milk (or other dairy or nut milk)

up to 1 tsp. Pure Mint Extract

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

ice to taste (optional)


It really does taste like a Thin Mint cookie!  This recipe will definitely stay in my rotation!  Stay tuned!  I'll share my "go to" recipe next week which is (surprise surprise) Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (yum my favorite!) or Tagalong inspired!

Enjoy!

Shakeology... Why pay retail when there are discounts available to you?


It's no secret that I believe Shakeology is the key to my successful results and has changed my health for the better.  As a result, I've been getting a lot of questions about purchasing Shakeology and if there are ways to get it at a discount.  While I believe the full retail price of $129.95 is worth every penny, I (like most people) like to get things at a discount.



So here is an overview of the different ways you can enjoy Shakeology at a reduced rate!  Make sure you read all the way to the end to see the amazing deal being offered in March with one of our newest offerings!

There are three ways you can get Shakeology at a discount:

 1. Become a Team Beachbody Coach.  A 25% Savings!

 2. Become a Team Beachbody Club member.  A 10% Savings!

 3. Order Shakeology with auto ship aka Home Direct (HD), just pay $2.00 Super Discount Shipping.  A Savings of $12.95.

Option 1, Beachbody Coaches get 25% off all personal product purchases, which saves about $30.00 per month on Shakeology alone. The cost for a coach account is $39.99, a one-time sign-up fee (which is waived if you buy a Challenge Pack, are an Active Military Member, the spouse of an Active Military Member, or are a Military Veteran). Challenge Packs include a Beachbody program, Shakeology Home Direct, and a free 30-day trial of Team Beachbody Club membership (which gives you access to additional fitness and nutritional tips, the NEW Beachbody On Demand Service, and information including a personalized meal planner.)

Then there’s a $15.95 per month coach fee (waived if you are an Active Military Member, the spouse of an Active Military Member, or Military Veteran).

Even with these fees you, Shakeology will be cheaper than buying at regular price.
You can also earn 25% commission for referring customers who purchase products through your coach website.

Option 2, Team Beachbody Club Members get 10% off all purchases, including Shakeology, and receive online personalized nutritional planning along with other premium club membership services and information such as trainer tips and recipes PLUS access to the NEW Beachbody On Demand Service. Club members pay $38.87 per quarter, an average of $12.95 per month.

Option 3, the last option is Home Direct (Auto Ship) Customers get Super Discount Shipping $2.00, which saves them $12.95 per order per month. Home Direct places you on a 30 day auto ship program, where you receive the product automatically each month.


Let's do the math:


Retail Customers: $129.95 + S&H $14.95 = $144.90. This comes to $4.83/serving.

Retail on Home Direct: $129.95 + tax ($2.00 Super Discount Shipping.. save $12.95) = $131.95. This comes to $4.40/serving.

Club Member (10% discount): $116.95 + S&H $14.95 + $12.95 (Club fee charged as $39 every 3 months) = $144.85. This comes to $4.83/serving.

Club Member on Home Direct: $116.95  + $12.95 (Club fee charged as $39 every 3 months) + $2.00 Super Discount Shipping = $131.90. This comes to $4.40/serving.

Coach Account (25% off): $97.46  + $14.95 S&H + $15.95 (coach fee)= $128.36. This comes to $4.28/serving.

Coach Account on Home Direct: $97.46  + $15.95 (Coach Fee) + $2.00 Super Discount Shipping = $115.41. This comes to $3.85/serving.

NOTE: The figures above do not include tax.

So in summary, the cheapest way to order Shakeology is as a Coach on Home Direct, as well as by buying a Challenge pack, which waives the one-time coach fee.  You can still get good deals purchasing in other ways, but to get the biggest “bang for your buck” coaching is something to seriously consider.

Shakeology also has a “Bottom of the Bag Guarantee”. If you don’t like it you can return it. Shakeology is sold with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The guarantee period starts on the date of delivery (about 2 weeks after the product was shipped from our warehouse). You may return Shakeology packages that have been opened and used, even if the bag is completely empty!

I must admit, I had signed up as a Coach at first to just get the Shakeology discount since I liked it so much and I quickly learned that I came to Beachbody for a reason.  I love their products and I love to share them!

On to the good stuff, I mentioned that if you purchase a Challenge Pack that your one-time coach fee will be waived.  Well March has quite possibly the best deal I’ve seen yet!
