Shakeology Week One

Getting sick of DFAC salads everyday?? I did after a couple weeks of being here. I really wanted to keep getting some fresh veggies, they’re good for you! But when you don’t have a place to prepare them properly, chow hall greens can get mundane. Real quick. Plus, some people just don’t like eating vegetables. This is why I ordered Shakeology. In one scoop of this stuff you get the benefits of:
·         A bowl of Exotic Food (including: Golgi & Acai): $4.40
·         10 cups Raw Cauliflower: $4.30
·         4 cups Raw Broccoli: $3.94
·         4 cups Uncooked Mushrooms: $8.97
·         4 cups Non-fat Yogurt: $3.49
·         4 cups Red Radishes: $5.16
·         3 cups Romaine Lettuce: $2.99
·         1 cup Peas: $1.09
·         7 Whole Carrots: $1.99
·         3 Raw Onion: $2.91
·         1 Shot of Wheat Grass: $1.95
·         Total:$41.19/day - $1235.70/month (Not going through the same salad bar everyday: Priceless)
As far my personal experience… I am just getting done with week one, I have been switching to a completely new shift so of course I’ve been tired getting used to my new sleeping schedule. I’m hopeful that all the awesomeness packed into these daily shakes will help me adjust. At first I didn’t like the taste, but as I kept mixing new ingredients, I have found a few combinations that I really like. I’m not sure if I am successfully training my taste buds and getting used to the taste or it’s actually tasty in the traditional sense. Either way, I look forward to it every day and I’m getting all the nutrients of all the veggies above so I’m happy J
