Shakeology


So I have been using Shakeology for 3 weeks and I am in heaven.  I have not had any craving for sugar and it has completely helped me stay on track with the 21 Day Fix that I started two weeks ago!  I also quit drinking coffee, after 20 years of being an avid coffee drinker!  I haven't had one head ache and I even went cold turkey! Plus, it taste amazing and I have been mixing it with water? I have never been able to mix my protein with water, yuck.  Anyways, it's a must have!
