Shakeology is too Expensive!

This is another question that has been brought to my attention, and I must say that the initial look at the price seems like it is over the top.  Shakeology costs, assuming you choose to have it shipped to you on an automatic monthly basis, $119.85 per month.  For that price, you are receiving 30 meals; which breaks down to about $4.00 per shake.  Seems expensive, but is it actually expensive?  The answer is no.  Look into your daily purchasing habits.  Do you currently purchase Starbucks in the morning?  What about getting Subway for dinner?  Both of these establishments can be more expensive.  Can you get Starbucks for cheaper than $4?  The answer is obviously yes, but now think of the nutrition in a Starbucks coffee:
Nutrition Facts Per Serving (8 fl oz)
Calories 5Calories from Fat 0
% Daily Value*
Total Fat 0g0%
Saturated Fat 0g0%
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 0mg0%
Sodium 5mg0%
Total Carbohydrate 0g0%
Dietary Fiber 0g0%
Sugars 0g
Protein 0g
Vitamin A  0%  Vitamin C  0%  Calcium  0%  Iron  0%
Caffeine 180mg


This will run you probably $1.50-$2.50 per cup.  Yes, this will help wake you up for those morning hours, but will you be hungry after you finish?   Probably, so to combat this, you may buy a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks as well.  Is the Starbucks breakfast sandwich giving your body the nutrition it needs?  Absolutely not, if you take this route, you are going well over the $4 and you are not feeding your body the top quality nutrients it yearns for.

Now, in Shakeology, you are getting OVER 70 WHOLE FOODS in one shake.  Here is a list of some of the nutrients in Shakeology:

Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin D Vitamin E Vitamin K1
Vitamin B1- thiamin Vitamin B2- riboflavin Vitamin B3- niacin Vitamin B6 Folic Acid
Vitamin B12 Biotin- B7 Pantothenic Acid Calcium Iron 
Phosphorus Iodine Magnesium Zinc Copper
Manganese Chromium Molybdenum Maca Powder Spirulina
Blue Breen Algae Probiotic Blend Kamut Grass Grean Tea decaffeinated Yacon
Hydrilla MSM Enzyme Blend Wheat Grass Flax
Apple Pectin Powder Pea Fiber Ashwagandha Powder Amaranth Chlorella 
Astragalus Powder Quinoa Barley Grass Grape Seed Extract

What, all of that for only $4 a glass?  What a bargin, right??  Think about what you are eating every day, I am almost guarantee that you do not get this much nutrition in your body each day. 

It is important to understand that the cost of this product is actually a bargin.  If you were to try to buy all the ingredients individually to make the same nutritional value , you would be paying way over $119.85 per month.  Why not give Shakeology a try, if you don't like it, Beachbody will give you a full refund up to 30 days.  Call me if you have any questions: 661-333-3692
