Digging Deeper into Shakeology, Part 4 - Phytonutrients and Super-Greens


Alright, alright, alright! Are you starting to see a pattern here? The last 3 Saturdays I have posted on the specific ingredients in BeachBody's Shakeology. I guess we can cut to the chase and acknowledge that the Shakeology is full of  nutrient dense foods that have incredible health benefits for your body when consumed on a daily basis! 

Could you buy all of the ingredients found in Shakeology at your local organic grocery store? Probably. I honestly haven't tried. Maybe you'd have to hit up a farmers market or two or three plus the local organic grocery store to obtain all the ingredients. Maybe you would have to travel to different parts of the globe to locate some of these ingredients. If it is possible to acquire all of the ingredients, what do you think the cost would be for all those ingredients? Do you think you could consume all the ingredients over the course of three meals plus a snack or two? Well for the low, low price of $5 (or less if you sign up as a coach, then the cost is even lower!), you can get one scoop of Shakeology that has ALL the ingredients! WOW! Just WOW! 


Yet again, I do want to add my disclaimer that I am not a nutritionist or any type of health expert. I am, however, someone who is passionate about being as healthy as I possibly can be and sharing what I learn with others. (I'll be saying this every week just so there isn't any confusion).


I know know we can all scour the internet for information and for these upcoming posts, I will do just that for you. As with anything, you are welcome to do your own research as well. 

The last two weeks, I have shared information regarding the Premium Protein and Amino Acids and Antioxidants and Super-Fruits. This week, I'll share information about the Phytonutrients and Super-Greens and the health benefits.

The week we are going to talk about the Phytonutrients and Super-Greens- Moringa, Matcha, Chloreela, Spinach, Kale and their health benefits.

First off, what the heck is a Phytonutrient? According to my handy dandy WebMD, Phytonutrient are natural chemicals from plants that help prevent disease! Awesome!
