Perhaps the most interesting thing about Shakeology is the ingredients. Sure the benefits are unmatched but those benefits are possible because of what’s included in each and every Shakeology shake. Shakeology ingredients come from all over the world and are some of the best things that nature has to offer. So, here’s a little summary on what exactly makes Shakeology work.
First off, it’s important to note that there are over 70 Shakeology ingredients. We can’t possibly discuss every single one in a blog post. But we can give you a list of some of the more noteworthy components:
Maca Root Powder, Whey Protein, Banana Powder, Carrot Powder, Orange Powder, Pineapple Powder, REaspberry Powder, Strawberry Powder, Sacha Inchi, Yacon, Flax Seed, Chia Seed, Chlorella, Apple Fiber, Hydrilla, Spirulina, Spinach Powder, Pea Fiber, Spinach Powder, Blue Green Algae, Quinoa, Barley Grass, Kemut Grass, Stevia, Amaranth, Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea, Holy Basil, Ashwagandha Powder, Amylase, Papain, Protease, Bromelain, nondairy probiotics, and numerous vitamins and minerals.
Perhaps just as important as what’s included in Shakeology ingredients is what’s not included. Shakeology does not include any gluten. It also doesn’t include any refined sugars or artificial sweeteners. And although Shakeology can increase energy levels and make you feel great—it doesn’t contain any caffeine.
Of these Shakeology ingredients, you’ve probably heard of several. But there are likely some you’ve never heard of before. Don’t be put off by that, these ingredients are top of the line and completely good for you.
Goji Berry was declared a breakthrough superfruit of the year in 2006 by Time Magazine. It contains 18 amino acids and is one of the richest sources of carotenoids of all known plants!
Green Tea is an ingredient we commonly see in weight loss supplements. But its potential thermogenic benefits aren’t the only reason this gem of a plant is good for you. Turns out Green Tea contains powerful antioxidants that have been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It can also lower cholesterol and help prevent blood clots.
There are benefits like these for each and every inclusion in in the Shakeology ingredients list. Nothing was added just to add—it all serves a purpose.
