When I finally opened my eyes and realized what I was getting for my money spent, I understood what I had to do for my health, and my family’s health. As a mother of 3, my kids all want to drink or eat what I am eating or drinking. I refused to EVER let they even taste the shakes from GNC, as many state clearly on their package, NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN. Hmmm….if I can’t give something to my kids, then why in the world should I be willing to put it in my body? Really makes you think. So, with all that said, let’s get to the real reason you are here, the ingredients in Shakeology.

Shakeology is safe enough to give to your children. I, myself, have taken packets in to my children’s Dr just to be told that my children are safe drinking Shakeology as long as it isn’t a whole scoop, due to the vitamins in it and the worry of too much for a child’s body. When I went for my own physical, my Dr told me to continue doing what I was doing. My concern at the time was my blood pressure, due to high blood pressure being in my family along with heart disease, and many other medical issues. I refuse to miss a day of my Shakeology, many times I have it twice a day, just to help with my late night cravings and after my workouts.
