Shakeology for Breakfast


Ya'll I am lazy and love to sleep! However I make sure to get up and get my workout in first thing in the morning so I do not come up with an excuse or easy way out of working out after I get off work. Therefore I sleep in as long as possible, wake up, workout, and then rush to get rady for work which is probably why i never have time to fully do my hair so it ends up pulled back daily. However I make sure to make my Chocolate Shakeology to drink on the way to the office. 

I know that if I didnt make my Shakeo that I probably would not each breakfast which is a TERRIBLE idea! Not to mention I would be passing up on my healthiest meal option ever. So instead one day I discovered Shakeology and now I make that daily for breakfast. My personal favorite is chocolate but I also keep vanilla and greenberry and now the new strawberry on hand because those are my go-to flavors when I want to experiment with the variety of things that I can mix into the shake. 

Here are my go to recipes for those flavors:

CHOCOLATE: I keep this one simple since I am rushing to get out the door so just water and ice. 

VANILLA: I like this one as an afternoon snack or even as a dessert after a light dinner so I will use greek yogurt, frozen mixed berries, and water/ice depending on the consistency I am looking for that day. I like my vanilla one to be more like a smoothie so little water is used. 

GREENBERRY: This one I like to use as a power packed lunch (or any meal really). So with this one i like to add spinach and kale, pineapple, banana, and sometimes I will add strawberries or fresh berry of choice and water. I like this one watered down so that it is more like a drink than a smoothie. AND I have to say that my Vitamix blender is the best purchase for making these type of smoothies/drinks. I have never seen a machine pulverize spinach and kale so fast. IT IS AMAZING! 

There are many different recipes out there. Let me know if you have any questions!! 

PS no matter what you do for breakfast at least eat breakfast!!! Start your day off right with a workout and kick start to your metabolism with BREAKFAST!! :)
