Shakeology:
Shakeology has been 2 years in development and considered the healthiest meal of the day. It only has 120 calories per serving, containing over 80 beneficial ingredients and having a certified low glycemic index of 24. They whey protein used in shakeology is free of hormones and anti-biotics. The ingredients and finished product have been tested for heavy metals, micro-biologicals and pesticides. It contains such nutritional herbs like Acai, Goji berries, Camu-Camu, Quinoa, Wheatgrass, Maca root and Sacha inchi. Beachbody has sourced and purchased Peruvian herbs that have been hand picked selected by our own "Ingredient Hunter" Darin Olien. The Sacha inchi herb is a type of peruvian peanut that is high in protein, omega-3 and is easy to absorb by your body. The Maca root is used to balance your hormones, support energy and stamina and reduce anxiety and stress. The Maca root is a difficult herb to harvest due to that fact that it can only be harvested once every 9 years per crop. The Yacon root is a low calorie sweet herb that is used for its prebiotic properties and supports digestive health. For more info on Shakeology click below.
