As I disclosed in the close look at article, I used chocolate Shakeology in the past, when
this review was originally written, and I did not use Shakeology for
a full 30 days. I actually only used each flavor twice in order to do
a taste test. Back in the day, this stuff was way too expensive for
me and now it's even more expensive so I am not likely to be able to
update these reviews to the new Shakeology recipes anytime soon.
My hope is that, outdated or not, my
experience in the past will help you decide if trying Shakeology is
something you want to do.
How
I mixed it: 1 cup soy milk, 3 ice cubes, 1 packet
chocolate Shakeology powder. Blended thoroughly in the blender.
Review: With the package open,
the product smells exactly like the chocolatey drink you would hope
to get in a meal replacement shake that claims to be chocolate
flavored. It doesn’t have a chemical scent to it at all like some
other protein powders and meal replacement mixes.
After mixing the chocolate smell is
replaced by the smell of cinnamon, though it’s not nearly as
overpowering as it is in the tropical strawberry Shakeology.
It’s not as creamy as the packaging
advertises, as the taste of cinnamon is too strong to compare it to
chocolate milk even when made with soy milk, but it does taste like
chocolate. The aftertaste is particularly pleasant with a
cinnamon-sweet flavor that’s not overpowering to the senses.
The texture was thick and smooth like a
meal replacement shake ought to be.
There was a problem with the mixture
settling onto the bottom of the glass when it took over 10 minutes to
drink it all. Going for 12 ounces of milk (rather than just 1 cup)
lessened this problem significantly, but it was still present and
made the last swallow or two a bit uncomfortable.
