I have heard this is a good dupe for Shakeology
I purchased this since I am now going to the gym and need protein boost to help aid in toning. Also, I am hoping to drop a few pounds so I plan to use as a meal replacement (likely breakfast) and I may also use as a post workout shake for some gym days as needed. I have only used this for a few days now so I cannot yet comment on it's assistance in my weight loss. However, I can provide information on toleration and taste. I purchased on Amazon for about $15 which is a decent price for the ingredients. I have heard this is a good dupe for Shakeology. It really has an impressive vitamin content in the mix which is great because I am also working to grow my hair out so Im really hoping this will be an great addition to my current vitamin regimen which now consists of a basic multi-vitamin and an iron pill that is advised by my doctor. How I mix: So far I have been mixing 2 scoops of the Chocolate protein mix with water to keep down calories but will soon try with Almond milk. I use 2 scoops of protein, a half banana, a tbsp of PB2 and tsp of virgin coconut oil, a few cubes and sometimes a tsp of cocoa powder and voila! It's a decent tasting shake. It can be a bit chalky but I'm sure that will be better once I try it with almond milk.So far it actually seems to be aiding my digestion and I haven't experience any negative affects to it which is a surprise because I experienced some issues with GNC proteins I've used in the past. I think this is a pretty good protein shake for the price. UPDATE: I have used this powder about 4 to 5 days per week as a breakfast replacement for 3 weeks now and I'm really shocked but I believe this is really helping me. I haven't weighed but I have been getting compliments on looking slimmer. I myself have noticed I'm looking quite a bit more toned especially in the belly area, I'm not sure if this is due to the probiotics in the products controlling bloat. I haven't changed anything else in my diet as a whole whatsoever but I am working out which I was also doing prior to purchasing this product. I do notice that I am not feeling as hungry at times throughout the day. Not much difference but I think overall I am eating a bit less. On the negative side I am noticing a bit of breakout on my skin that started right around the time I began taking this powder but I can't verify this is related. I will continue to use this product and will likely be ordering this again soon!
