Doctors are using Shakeology®

The Complete "100 Doctors Don't Lie" video Click here (or viewing in Facebook find it on Original blog post)


here are two more highlighted Doctor's reviews:

Doctor #37, bariatric surgeon Dr. Long, tells us how Shakeology can serve as a tool for weight loss patients.

And Dr.Yosaitis, doctor #42, talks about the prevalence of malnutrition in Americans and how Shakeology can help. We are malnourished like stated in video from all the boxed goods with no nutrients. We are killing ourselves.

Chocolate Shakeology® Pie! (updated for coconut option)

Finally found a recipe for this pie. (Thanks Brian Hin) It's very easy and fast to make and has all of the nutritional value of Shakeology® and then some! :)

. 1-1/2 scoops Chocolate Shakeology
. 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter
. 1 container silken tofu (12 oz.) {my Container was 16oz.}
. 2 Tbsp. soy milk
. 2 Tbsp. agave nectar (or maple syrup)
. 1 "Healthy" graham cracker pie crust (recipe below)

(Edit: Recently saw a similar Recipe with more Peanut butter [1 cup] & the addition of 1 cup of reduced fat / unsweetened shredded coconut for topping. Additionally the Whole Wheat Graham cracker crust was basted with one egg white before baking crust in oven)


Ingredients ready with food Processor

Blend or food-process peanut butter, tofu, Shakeology, soy milk, and agave nectar until smooth and creamy, adding more soy milk if necessary. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour). Serves 8.


After you blend ingredients together just pour it into pie crust


Above picture is a regular crust w/ Butter that I made.

(Update: the above crust held up much better, although not as healthy)

My new "Healthy" Crust recipe is this:
(Crust did not firm-up like I would have liked; may have to go back to the Crust with butter, at least the filling is super healthy)
. 1-1/2 cups graham cracker (I used 12 sheets)
. 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
. 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
. 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Bake at 350°F for 10 min.



Refrigerate until firm and then serve!!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes, plus 60 minutes refrigeration time

(True Confession: if you really want it as a Substitute Dessert top it with a small amount of real whipped cream; not included in Calorie counts below ... but sometimes I am worth it)
