Holiday Shakeology Ideas

An important part of staying on track this holiday season is eating a well-balanced and nutritionally sound diet 90% of the time, so you CAN enjoy that holiday dessert or a cocktail at the holiday party.  These are easy-to-make variations using Shakeology as the base - so your morning smoothie or your afternoon snack doesn't always have to be the same.

 

Shakeology Shake Recipe Instructions:

  • All recipes (unless noted) use 1 serving or 1 scoop of Shakeology.  You can vary the recipes too, by using a different Shakeology mix, like Cafe Latte or Chocolate instead of Vanilla, or Vanilla instead of Greenberry.
  • Feel free to substitute any liquid ingredient for your preference. (water, almond milk, coconut water, etc.)  I use water with mine, but my kids love the consistency with milk.
  • Remember to keep track of calories and sugars if you are counting! Adding bananas, peanut butter and other goodies can greatly increase those numbers.
  • If you make with a blender, you'll get a thicker shake, like a milkshake. A shaken smoothie will be more watery, like chocolate milk (and cannot have any frozen or solid add-ins.
