Searching Still...

As I continue to look for a replacement for Shakeology, I've realized that I really should have done more homework years ago! Although I loved the Beachbody workouts and Shakeology, the cost is really up there! I struggled through a couple of years being successful with Shakeology but not with their programs... This adult ADD sets in and I just cannot complete a program. I get bored. I'd rather run. Walk. Hike. Anything but do the same DVD's for months and months on end.

So now, here I am - better late than never - doing the research. I've found some really good articles. I've tried some bad shakes. Some good shakes.

Results with Thrive. I stopped trying after day three. I only took 1 of their capsules each day instead of 2 but still felt shaky and just like I was "in a funk"... I didn't feel normal and didn't like the three step process. Capsules. Shake. Patch.

I just want an all in one shake that I can replace breakfast or lunch with (since I am the forgetful eater). I want a whole based food shake. I want protein, less sugar and probiotics. Without having to take 2 or 3 products to get it all. Which, was the benefit of Shakeology.

Next up, I tried Juice Plus. I really liked the flavor of the vanilla shake. I didn't care much for the flavor of the chocolate. It just isn't chocolate enough for me. I loved their complete bars and will probably order some to keep on hand for snacking. But, while it's a little bit cheaper than Shakeology it's still up there quite a bit, and it's another MLM company and felt the need to "sign up" to get the discount. But I've decided I'm not doing another company where I feel like I have to sell it in order to afford it.

So, while looking for some other options last night I ran across this one...

Vega One vs. Shakeology. I've ordered my first container of the shake. Pros that I like, it appears to be nutritionally equivalent if not better than Shakeology. It is MUCH cheaper. I can buy it direct, for a low price through Amazon and get free shipping (much love for Amazon Prime), or even find it in local stores (Walgreen, Meijer, Walmart, etc...). This I like. I like that there are options for purchasing rather than being signed up with a company and tied down to a monthly shipment to get the free shipping. I like that it is affordable, yet GOOD. Plus, there are 8 flavors. I may just try them all.

More to come soon after I get to try this new product!
