I have tried all of the flavors except green berry. I love shakeology and swear by it. When I talk to people I hear a lot of "I don't like shakes" or "shakes are chalky or have a funky aftertaste." I get it, we try something we think is similar and it isn't a great experience, so we give up on the idea forever. Whatev, no big deal. Right?
WRONG! Most people just need to find their favorite way to prepare their Shakeology and sometimes it takes a couple tries. Need not be worried, once you find your soul mate recipe, there will be no turning back. I will give it to all you nay Sayers on only ONE of the flavors that I have tried, and that is strawberry. It tastes delicious until you get to the aftertaste. However, I really don't want you to confuse this with the VEGAN TROPICAL Strawberry flavor, which is what inspired this post.
I am at heart a chocolate FREAK and when I started my journey, the only thing that came even close to satisfying that void in my life was chocolate Shakeology. No joke, if I didn't have my shake, I was doomed. Especially because I always blend mine 99% of the time and I don't carry a blender with me everywhere I go and midday, those cravings take over. I have been drinking 90% chocolate since July 2014 and randomly stealing a packet of vanilla or strawberry from my mom just to have a different change of pace. I decided that I wanted to switch it up a little more and completely changed my monthly order to the tropical strawberry. I was skeptical and nervous because the regular strawberry did give me that aftertaste and I was worried I would have a whole month supply of it, even knowing I could exchange it at no cost to me.
It finally arrives and I cannot tell you how pleasantly surprised I was and that this actually CONTENDED for my heart against the chocolate. I am loving it and it's been about a week. ZERO aftertaste, and the flavor is much more dynamic than the regular strawberry, in my opinion. Plus, my chocolate cravings are still in check, which is what worried me the most.
So all in all, don't close the door on anything until you have thoroughly gone through the process of trying it. And if you're nervous about doing something new, just try it and get it over with. It may just change your life.
