If you are trying to lose weight, improve physical performance, or achieve overall good health, I recommend using Shakeology. This product has over 70 natural, whole food ingredients and a list of super foods that is a mile wide. While some people refer to this product as being a “protein shake”, in truth it is much more as you will learn from this information. One of the most interesting facts is that Shakeology has a unique formula that consists of a long list of super foods.

By introducing basic nutrients but also high concentrations of a long list of super foods, you will look and feel better.
Remember, everything in each list of super foods is important but within each category are one or more specific super foods that tend to outshine the others. To reinforce the value of Shakeology, I felt it was important to offer a few examples of super foods.
