Too expensive for what it is worth

I got the normal Vanilla Shakeology as part of the Beachbody challenge packages. I had heard good things about it but I wasn’t as impressed. It was a lot sweeter than I expected. It is also very expensive especially for those in Canada

Not worth the money

The Shakeology program may work for some but I find it to be way too expensive for what it is. You can get better, higher quality protein shakes/powders for a whole lot less. I did not mind the taste of the shakeology but when used as a meal replacement or as part of the 21-day fix, I went through the shakeology so quickly that I found myself ordering 2-3 times a month. I just cannot justify the price. If you have the money to splurge, its not bad but as I said, there are cheaper, higher quality options out there.

Could not make taste good.

I won some trial packs from a Beach Body coach. I tried several flavours including strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. I tried them on their own and in a smoothie. There was no way I could make the flavour taste good...I have tried a number of meal replacement shakes before, and these were one of the worst tasting ones. Plus, the cost of the bag is rediculous! The marketing on them is great, but there are more cost-effective, better tasting shakes available.

decent tasting

I received a sample packet in the strawberry banana flavor. It had a perfect blend of strawberries and banana, and was neither very sweet, nor overpowering.
When I blended it in my shaker cup with a bottle of slightly frozen water, I found that the powder quickly sank to the bottom. I needed to shake it frequently to avoid it from happening.

I wanted this to be the wonderful product everyone claimed it to be. It wasn't. First of all, you do get a decent sized bag of powder, supposed to get a full month of 'shakes' however when you factor the price it is more expensive per serving than other protein powders. Fine, I'm all about trying the new fad. The issues arise when I made my first shake...tried a basic just mixed with milk to start out, disgusting...I dumped it out. Second attempt, I'll mix a scoop in with my morning smoothie, still bad. Guess I'll keep 200$ worth of protein powder in my cupboard forever since I can't bring myself to throw it away. Wondering why I have 200$ worth? Because they autoship without asking....

Tastes chalky, sweetened with Stevia, which....I cannot stand the taste of stevia.
In effective for a "meal replacement" or "snack" because i STILL have to eat after.
Does not help with my energy.
Have been contemplating throwing out the bag i have, but it's SO expensive that i dont want to waste it.

I love this stuff, but it is incredibly pricey! I still gave it a high star rating as I truly felt better while drinking it, but for the price, Vega is just as good. I tried this along with the 21-fix program. I lost 10 pounds, so it worked! But in order to achieve results with Shakeology, you need to have a solid workout routine established as well.

This product would be amazing if not for the 150$ price tag. I love what it does and the chocolate taste (also comes in strawberry, greenberry and vanilla). But most people cannot afford to purchase a 30 serving bag at that price on a monthly basis. If it were half the price it is, it might be an option but it's not at this current rate.
