What Is Shakeology?
Shakeology is a nutrient-dense superfood shake powder built to deliver complete daily nutrition in every scoop.
- Key ingredients: Superfoods, adaptogens, prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes
- Nutritional profile: At least 16 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and 26 essential vitamins and minerals per serving
- Available flavors used in these recipes: Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Café Latte, Cookies & Creamy, and Snickerdoodle
Why Shakeology Works as a Recipe Base, Not Just a Shake
Plain oatmeal can taste like cardboard. Chia seeds on their own do not have much going for them in the mouthfeel department. But blended into Shakeology, these and other kitchen staples turn into delicious superfood shakes.
What about when you want something chewable, spoonable, or otherwise consumable in non-liquid form? Shakeology has you covered there too. It works in both baked recipes, like waffles, pancakes, and mug cakes, and no-bake recipes, like energy balls and chia puddings, without needing any special preparation.
The Nutrition Behind Every Non-Shake Recipe
Using Shakeology as a base, you can make superfood fare from waffles and parfaits to overnight oats and smoothie bowls. Add your preferred vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and spices to create treats, snacks, and even meals with at least 16 grams of protein, six grams of fiber, and 26 essential vitamins and minerals per serving.
Every recipe below also carries Shakeology’s probiotics, digestive enzymes, and antioxidants for complete nutrition and healthy energy. Explore the possibilities of this versatile superfood with these 33 Shakeology recipes that are not shakes.
