SHAKEOLOGY VS. IT
WORKS GREENS & PRO FIT
I have been
getting a lot of questions concerning the difference between IT WORKS GREENS
and SHAKEOLOGY. I am so excited to
actually discuss this because I am familiar with both! Before starting my
business with BEACHBODY, I actually was an IT WORKS independent distributor. I have knowledge with both and more importantly,
EXPERIENCE with them both. I have had a
good amount of customers using both as well, which was a better indication of
what I should represent for my friends and family.
IT WORKS GREENS:
With 8+
servings of fruits and vegetables and a blend of 38 herbs and nutrient-rich
superfoods, Greens provides naturally occurring, bioavailable vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and enzymes to give your already
well-balanced diet a nutritional boost.
-Comes in 2 flavors:
orange and berry
-Detoxify, alkalize,
and promote pH balance within the body

magnesium and potassium blend

support for digestive health

nutrient-rich superfoods
-8+ servings of fruits
and vegetables in every scoop

WHY IS SOY BAD FOR YOU?! After research, it is found that over 99% of soy in genetically modified and has one of the highest percentages of contamination by pesticides of our foods. It has also found to affect thyroid and hormone levels.
*This is NOT
a meal replacement- This is simply a drink that does not have any protein, fats,
carbohydrates, sugar, or calories.

It WORKS Pro FIT
I have had many comments about comparing only the Greens and Shakeology, so I am adding in Pro FIT which is It WORKS protein drinks.
The reason I am comparing the two is because with Shakeology, it is NOT a protein drink, nor just a shake with nutrients.... which putting BOTH Greens and Pro fit together still does not add up to Shakeology. Shakeology is a health shake full of dense nutrition, more protein that is needed for muscle repair, and also has enough calories, fat, and protein to carbohydrate ratio which is how Shakeology keeps you full for longer.
Pro FIT nutrition facts:
Calories: 100
Protein: 14
Fat: 2
Sugar: 1
Carbs: 5
Although the nutrition facts are important and do tell you this is not enough to replace an entire meal, it also is not the only indicator of what clean eating is. It is the nutrients and ingredients that make a difference and
you will notice again, soy is an ingredient towards the top which means it has a higher amount of that ingredient.
You will also notice, comparing to Shakeology, in Pro FIT, there is not 70 natural ingredients and super foods which is going to give you a natural boost of energy, help your cravings, and improve your overall health (including heart health).
SHAKEOLOGY
Shakeology
is a MEAL REPLACEMENT that is used in place of any meal during your day. This is NOT a protein shake or a diet shake,
but is a meal that gives you your daily dose of dense nutrition.
-Comes in 4 different flavors:
Chocolate
Vanilla
Green berry
Strawberry
VEGAN chocolate (vegan is Gluten
free, soy free, and wheat free. The protein is from plant protein Pea and Brown
rice protein)
VEGAN strawberry

-Protein- Whey Protein ISOLATE which
is the purest of proteins that have least amount of lactose (will improve
digestion).
Shakeology includes:

ingredients.

to help reduce hunger and food cravings.
-Antioxidants and Phytonutrients – to
help detoxify and protect the body against free radical damage.

nails
Price: You
can get a month supply for 129$/month in home direct (HD), which you can cancel
at any time without a penalty.
If you break
it down, it comes out to 4$/day. I like
comparing this to other meals you would have during this meal if you were not
using Shakeology. Please note, this
includes your protein, carbs, NATURAL sugar, daily servings of veggies, and daily
multi-vitamin.
Can you even
get a 6 oz steak for McDonald’s/Starbucks for 4$?
It is time
to think smart, and eat smart.. I was very skeptical on using Shakeology
because it was 129$ every month.. But I knew within the first month, I was
getting great results along with getting all these health benefits. So what I did was went to the grocery store
with my list and looked at all the ingredients I was getting for a meal.. For
instance, I had 1 green pepper, 1 cucumber, kalamata olives, feta cheese,
spinach, 1 piece of chicken, tomatoes, and a sweet potato..
If you add
these up you will come up with 17$ and you will have a salad for 4 days… Even if you take 17 x 7.5 (30 days in a
month and getting even the salads alone every 4 days) is 127.50…
*this is not
including your sweet potato or chicken every day. Also not including your daily
multi-vitamin which ranges between 10-25$ depending on where you get it.
The point of
me breaking this down for you just shows what your getting physically with your
money, but does not compare to the savings you will doctor visits, medication
adjustments (including blood pressure, cholesterol, depression, anti-inflammatory,
and I have had customers decrease and get off medication for Crohn’s and Diabetes).
I hope these comparisons helped you see a difference between Shakeology and It works nutrition supplements and their Pro fit protein drink. I am not here to try
and promote one over another, but simple you facts so you can hopefully
make a determination on what is best for you and your health long term.
