New Shakeology Formula Review

The New Shakeology Formula is out, and it has been met with many different reviews. Some have been negative, some positive. But either way, I tried my first taste of the new Chocolate Superfood Formula this past week. Here are my thoughts!

New Shakeology Formula Review – Bob Sharpe’s Opinion

As many of you know, I have always been a proud supporter and daily drinker of the revolutionary nutritional shake “Shakeology”. Recently, a new Superfood Formula was introduced for the Chocolate Shakeology. I didn’t receive the new formula right away. In fact, it only came to my door this past month. So, I heard from others that they absolutely hated the new taste and were greatly concerned. Now of course, me being a huge lover of the current formula, I got extremely concerned and worried. How bad could this possible taste? Is there anything that could be done to avoid the different taste?

Well the day finally came this past week, and I received the new Superfood Chocolate Shakeology. I had a few more servings of the original Shakeology, so I waited for a few days to start.

Then the day finally arrived this past week. After much anticipation, I blended up my first serving. I opened up the bag, and immediately could tell it was a different smell. It’s hard to explain, but I’d equate it to smelling less like dark chocolate and more like a light milk chocolate smell. After mixing it up, I drank the first sip….

Was it a “YUCK!”? Was it a “EW”? Not really either one of them, but this definitely tastes different. I gave a sip to my wife Cristen, and quite honestly she did not like it at all.

Is chocolate lost forever?? Is this the end of the world? No. And I stand by this new formula and I’ll explain why in just a moment. Better yet, for those who have tried the new formula already, I will tell you what I have discovered over this past week that makes the drink taste as good as the original!!

Why has the Formula Changed? – New Shakeology Formula

When I first opened my new bag of Shakeology, it came with an insert that really explains the improved benefits of Shakeology. While the taste needs some work (my hint is coming up soon on how to make this better!), the overall health benefits are FAR SUPERIOR than the original. Remember folks, this is a health drink, and you’ll be benefiting greatly from drinking this daily. Here is what the insert said:

“Because we’re constantly on a mission to make you as incredibly healthy as possible, we’ve upgraded the formula for Chocolate Shakeology by adding four delectable and potent superfoods to the mix: Moringa, Himalayan Salt, Luo Han Guo, and Coconut Flower Nectar. This bumps up fiber from 3 grams to 6 grams and lowers sugars from 9 grams to 6 grams. You also get natural sources of Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, and C. It also contains 17 amino acids.”

Even better yet, check out this video from the creator of Shakeology, Darin (if you can’t see the video on my site, click here).

New Shakeology Formula – Can it taste better? Will I keep drinking it?

First off, YES, I’m definitely going to keep drinking my Chocolate Shakeology each and every day. The video above sells it enough knowing that I am getting the best nutrition possible for my body! I want to avoid the hospital and aches and pains of old age as much as possible!!!

But, GREAT NEWS: Beachbody, being the amazing company that they are, have heard the concerns with the overall flavor, and are testing a few things out. I have personally signed up to be part of their Shakeology formula panel. If selected, I will taste a few different formulas to rate the tastes in an effort to keep the Healthiest Meal of the Day while getting the great taste we deserve. More news to come on that, subscribe to my blog to stay posted!!

How to Make New Shakeology Formula Taste Better!

Yesterday I gave a sip to my wife that hated the new formula, and she now loves it! I love it too, so here is my personal recipe for the new formula:

• Fat-Free Milk (or Almond Milk or Soy Milk. I avoid Water at all costs because I personally don’t like the taste of Shakeology in water).
• 4 Ice Cubes
• 1 Teaspoon of Natural Peanut Butter (you can use regular stuff, just keep in mind it isn’t the healthiest stuff out there, and not really recommended).
• 1-2 Cups of Natural, UN-sugared Coffee.

Blend in a blender to your preference. The reason I suggest PB and Coffee is because it helps build a darker taste that is what made the original Chocolate Shakeology taste good. Try it out for yourself, and you’ll not only get a great taste, but you’ll really enjoy the New Shakeology Formula AND gain the great health benefits.
