Day 1 of the Shakeology Cleanse and Chocolate Vegan Review

I've had a few people e-mail or message me on Facebook asking how the first day of my Shakeology Cleanse went, along with some personal questions and also how they can go about getting the cleanse. 

I figured if I had a few people asking me these questions, then there are probably more that are too afraid to write me and ask, please don't be afraid to get a hold of me at either Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com or on Facebook!! I LOVE TO help in anyway I can!!

So on to my first day of the cleanse.  I woke up at 8:30am and had a cup of green tea.  I wasn't really hungry yet, so I waited until about 10am to drink my first glass of  Chocolate Vegan Shakeology.  NOW here is were the review comes into play. 

I've never had the Chocolate Vegan without Greek yogurt, I add the yogurt to add a little more protein in the shake since I've been doing heavy lifting.  Since I'm doing the cleanse, I have to eliminate dairy, so I just used 8-10oz of water and 3-4 ice cubes blended up.  I MUST SAY WOWWWWW!!!  The taste was amazing!!  I liked it with the Greek yogurt, but felt like it needed more of a chocolate taste.......little did I know, I was missing out on just drinking it with water!!  I love the Tropical Strawberry Vegan, but sometimes the gritty texture gets to me, it's not BAD, at all, it taste so good, that I just look past it.  BUT THE CHOCOLATE IS AMAZING with only the slightest bit of the gritty texture.  It's honestly so small that it's like drinking the powder chocolate milk that wasn't stirred 100% maybe just stirred 95% if you get my meaning.  If anyone is thinking of trying this out....DO IT!!  It's so worth it, health benefits and all!  If you go onto my Shakeology website you can see that they do sell the Tropical Strawberry and the Chocolate (both Vegan) together in individual sealed packets, so if you wanted to try them both, that's the way to go (or you can buy a few samples from me). OKAY back to my cleanse. 

This is what my day looked like:

8:30 - Cup of Green Tea
10:00 - Shake with a Granny Smith Apple
12:30 - Mango with Lime Juice
3:30 - Shake
5:00 - Cup of Green Tea
7:30 - Huge Salad with Balsamic Marinated Shrimp with Balsamic and Olive Oil Dressing
10:00 - Last Shake

I also drank 100 oz of water and worked out after my salad.  I took it easy on my workout in the beginning, BUT I had a ton of energy!!  Which was really surprising, but then, when I really think about it, Shakeology has so many vitamins and minerals and super foods, that I shouldn't really be that surprised. 

So that's what my day looked like......now the more personal questions that I got asked ;-P 

*  Does it make me RUN to the bathroom?  NO, not for me.  Yes I "went" more than usual, but it felt like that "normal" had to go type of feeling.  No cramping or feeling the need to rush.  So if I were out and about, there wouldn't be this HUGE need for me to find a bathroom ASAP. 

*  Did you get a headache?  Nope, no headache here!!  I've heard that people get them, but I believe it's mostly from people that have to eliminate the caffeine drinks they drink daily.  I don't drink cups of coffee or soda on a day to day basis, actually, I hardly drink them at all. 

* Have you lost any weight yet?  Yes I actually did.  I lost 2 pounds with the cleanse in one day, but honestly, I'm not worried about that because it's mostly water weight and junk that's leaving my body.  If I gain it back, that's fine.

*  Did you feel tired or hungry?  I felt really good on my first day, and so far into my second day.  I actually feel like I have more energy than I have in weeks!!  I'm not hungry physically, but mentally it's like I'm missing something, so I just keep occupied.  It's not that hard really! 

* How is this different from the Ultimate Reset?  The Ultimate Reset is a 21 day program that has everything you need in the kit to "Reset" your body.  And you eat 3 planned healthy meals a day and snacks as well.  You don't workout, but the results are amazing!!  I can't wait to do it in late September!!  I will definitely be blogging almost daily once I start.

*  How do I get the Shakeology Cleanse?  Get a hold of me and we'll go over a few options.

I still have 1.5 days left, so I'll update more once I'm done with the cleanse!

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post below!  This is opened to anyone, so POST AWAY and don't be shy!!

Chocolate Vegan Shakeology

Today Beachbody put out their new Chocolate Vegan Shakeology formula and I heard it's amazing!! So I ordered it and will be giving it a try! I love the non-vegan formula, but I heard the vegan one has more of a dark chocolate flavor.

I've tried the Strawberry Vegan Shakeology, and at first I wasn't so sure. The taste was amazing, just like a strawberry milkshake but not as thick......the only problem was the slight gritty texture it has due to the strawberry seeds, and I'm guessing the sprouted brown rice. I quickly got over it once I added a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt, the yogurt smoothed the texture out and I LOVE IT!! So when I placed my order I did the Chocolate, Strawberry alternate, so this month I'll get to try the chocolate first and then next month I'll get my bag of strawberry!


It's so weird how just a few months ago I would never have imagined spending money on a drink like this, how I would stalk the Shakeology sight and then exit out. Until one day I just pushed that order button. Now I can't believe I didn't do it sooner!! I recently sat down and wrote out how much I spent a month at GNC for multi-vitamins, protein, meal replacement bars, supplements ect ect, and it was WAY more than I spend on Shakeology a month, so that's actually money I've been saving these past few months!!


On another note, today is day 57 of ChaLEAN Extreme, so that means new 60 day measurements and pictures are coming soon. I can't wait to share my 30 day Push Circuit experience, the ups and downs, how I've been doing on my diet eating healthier and my whole 60 days as a whole.  I've also ordered extra DVD's from Chalene, called the Extreme Deluxe DVD's.   I should have went ahead and bought the ChaLEAN Extreme Deluxe to begin with ;-).  Thank goodness Beachbody gives you the option to buy the extra set separately!


I've also picked up on my running a bit, I still have that 700 goal to meet on December 31st!!


Have you been wanting to try Shakeology?  If so, I do offer individual serving packets for $5 and that includes shipping.  The flavors I have available are Chocolate, Greenberry, and the Strawberry Vegan.  I can offer the Chocolate Vegan, BUT it won't be in individual serving packets, just a scoop in a plastic bag until they come out with the serving packets.  If you do decide on the Chocolate Vegan, just order the Strawberry Vegan, and write in the notes that you'd rather do the Chocolate.
