What’s so great about Shakeology?
You may have asked yourself one or all of the following questions about Shakeology: Isn’t it just a protein shake? What is so special about it? I’ll paraphrase co-creator Isabelle Daikeler to answer both of these questions with one statement: Shakeology is a “whole food based, with prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and phytonutrients”.

According to the INSANITY caloric needs calculator: 1.) 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) +(12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years). 66 + (1059.1) + (914.4) - … [Read More...]
