How to Make Shakeology Taste Better
Firstly, I would like to start this post by letting my readers know that I absolutely love Shakeology, but there are plentiful ways to make this premium superfoods shake taste even better. This post is also for people who have tried Shakeology in the past, and for some reason did not enjoy the taste.
Before we begin, I would like to say that for some people, Shakeology may have to grow on you. If you are not keen on healthy eating, and you are fairly new to eating clean, you may find Shakeology to be different to your taste palate. There is nothing wrong with this. Sometimes it may take some time for your body to adjust to healthier ingredients, and that is absolutely normal. Rome was not built in a day! I have to admit that before I started my fitness journey, I consumed junk and processed foods for years, but fortunately my body accepted Shakeology almost immediately, and that's maybe because I used one of the following ways to "make Shakeology taste better". If you are allergic to some ingredients, please make sure to consult your physician before consuming Shakeology. There are different Shakeology flavors, and each flavor has different ingredients.

I hope this post may help some of you who are going through this dilemma with Shakeology. Just remember, Shakeology was formulated to help you with your health and nutrition goals. It's not for everyone, but you never know unless you try it. It may change your life, like it has for me and hundreds of other people.
How to Make Shakeology Taste Better:
1. GET THE SHAKEOLOGY SAMPLER - It all begins with choosing the flavor that you like best. It is not wise to try Shakeology with a flavor that you do not enjoy, so if you've never tried Shakeology before, and you do not want to purchase a whole month supply just yet, then getting the Shakeology Sampler Pack would be your best option. Simple try the different flavors in the sampler pack, and choose which you like best. Once you find your favorite flavor, you can then purchase a month supply knowing that it is something that you absolutely love. Get the Sampler Pack here!
2. USE A BLENDER - One of the most common mistakes that new Shakeology drinkers do is they fail to not use a blender, especially when trying Shakeology for the very first time. Granted that using a blender is not required, but it does make Shakeology taste better. There's a huge difference between just shaking it up in a blender bottle or stirring it with a spoon, blending is the way to go! There are over 70+ superfoods in Shakeology, so making sure that everything is blended and mixed together properly is key to successful Shakeology tasting. When I am on the go, I find myself just using the shaker cup, and although it doesn't taste as good, I'm "ok" with it just as long as I am getting the benefits.
3. USE A RECIPE - Shakeology is very versatile. Although you do not need a recipe to enjoy the benefits of Shakeology, it does make it taste so much better. If you are trying Shakeology for the first time, it is highly recommended that you use a recipe. With hundreds of recipes out there, it is very difficult to get tired of drinking Shakeology. There are low calorie to high calorie recipes all depending on what your daily caloric intake is. I recommend trying as many recipes as you can until you find about 3-5 that you really enjoy. Yes, this may take some time, but I promise you that it will be worth it. I've found about 5 delicious recipes that I really like, but I always go back to my original favorite which is Chocolate Shakeology (vegan or regular) with Peanut Butter, Banana, and Unsweetened Almond Milk, blended with Ice. If I use it as a main meal, I may add a little more protein powder depending on my workout and activities of the day. I prefer using Optimum Nutrition or Vega Sport Protein Powder with my Shakeology. And PB2 (low fat powdered peanut butter) blends so well with Shakeology =)
4. ALMOND MILK - I really love Almond Milk! But you could use other alternatives such as rice milk, hemp milk, cashew milk, dairy milk, or coconut milk. If you are watching your caloric intake, most of these alternatives also have unsweetened, low fat and low sugar content varieties. I have found that using these alternatives rather than using water makes Shakeology taste so much better. It gives it more flavor and gives it a creamier texture. Yup, acts like a salad, but tastes like a dessert!
5. USE HALF SERVING - For some people, a whole serving of Shakeology is too much for them. So another way to customize Shakeology to fill your demands is to use only half or 3/4 of a serving. Remember, it's all about finding what's best for you. Shakeology is very versatile, and can be customized to suit your taste buds, you just have to experiment with it.
6. GIVE IT TIME - As I mentioned before, if your body is not used to eating clean whole foods, then your body may need some time to adjust to Shakeology. Healthy eating does not happen overnight, so give it some time to take in the superfoods. It doesn't taste like a cheeseburger for a reason, because it isn't =). It may take a month or more to get used to Shakeology as it detoxifies your body.
And that's about it! If you are currently drink Shakeology, and you can assist other tips with this post, please feel free to comment below to help others benefit from this amazing superfoods shake.
