Tropical Shakeology Review

Tropical Shakeology was made available on 2/13/2012, about 12 hours before it was originally supposed to be! I got my shipment of this awesome product on 2/21/2012 and was pretty excited to give it a try, but decided to wait until the next morning, which is normally when I have my Shakeology.

I was kind of glad I had to wait a few extra days to get mine, since it gave me time to get some feedback from others that had already gotten a hold of their own. I wanted to make sure that the recipe I tried was not going to let me down.

With the Tropical, it’s tempting to throw a bunch of fruits and juices in with it to really have an amazing taste, but that also adds a lot of calories, so while taste matters, so does meeting your nutritional goals for the day. That’s why I believe it’s important to not only come up with a recipe that suits your taste buds, but more importantly helps you meet your daily goals.

I landed on the following recipe:

5-6oz of water
8oz of almond milk
half banana
1/4c blueberries
10-12 cubes of ice
blend well

The taste was great, a bit on the sweet side, but not too overpowering. While it didn’t have enough of a “this is the best thing I have ever tried” reaction, it was certainly very good. Beachbody did an awesome job getting these 70+ superfood ingredients into a great tasting product.

Beachbody has created the perfect shake for those on a strict vegan diet or for those with any allergies to whey or dairy. Tropical allows someone to benefit from the nutritional superiority of the ingredients in Shakeology with a completely vegan, completely natural shake. I am a big believer in the benefits of the sprouted brown rice protein they use in the Tropical. I can’t wait until they transition their full line of Shakeology to this new protein.

While, I will probably still be sticking to my Chocolate Shakeology, I will certainly be adding the Tropical Strawberry flavor into the rotation. It tastes amazing, but it also packs a whole lot more cals and carbs than my chocolate recipe.

For those of you who have tried the Tropical already, I’m interested what your take is. Do you like it better than Chocolate? What recipes are your favorite?
