Award Winning Shakeology Recipes!

June 23, 2011 by

Creating an award winning Shakeology recipe is never easy. It takes experimentation, focus, creativity and lots of sampling! This year we nailed it. Strawberry Cheesecake Shakeology was the winner in the Greenberry category for best recipe in the Shakeology Shake Off contest at Coach Summit 2011. My mother, Sharon Tinsley, entered this fabulous recipe and accepted a huge award that included a basket of 2 bags of Shakeology, 10 sample packs, a Shakeology towel and a mini blender.

A video of Mom’s award acceptance is below. She was blown away to say the lest and we were so proud!

The winner of the Chocolate category was created by Suzy Fauria, entitled, “Crocked Coconut Macaroon.” This one had just about everything “coconut” in it. Get the recipe here on ShakeMenu.com.

Other recipes entered into the Shake Off contest were:

  • Banana Bread by David Schmidt
  • Exotic Chai Chiller by Jeannie Young
  • Nutz About Raisins by Hamilton Pham
  • Glazed Carrot Cake by Jennifer Beck
  • The Hippie Hippie Shake by Hope Fato

A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.

At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Amaranth, one of Shakeology’s Ingredients

June 8, 2011 by

Amaranth Plant

Amaranth is one of the 70 healthy ingredients in Shakeology. So, what make it so healthy?

Amaranth a great source of vitamins and amino acids, but it’s also high in protein, fiber and helps to boost your immune system. It’s one of those “supergrains” that is extremely high in protein. According to Wikipedia, amaranth seeds are similar to quinoa in that they contain lysine, the amino acid lacking in most other grains that is responsible for adding protein.

Another thing to note is that it contains three times more fiber (and five times more iron) than wheat! It also has more protein than milk. Other benefits include high levels of vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, and phosphorous.

This is a very versatile grain that can be used in a variety of different dishes. It is regularly made into flour and used to create breads, pastas or other baked goods (found primarily in health food stores like Whole Foods,  Co-ops, etc). Amaranth does not contain gluten! This makes it a nice option for people with celiac disease or gluten allergies.

Now, if you are looking to get this supergrain by itself, you’ll have to visit a health food store. Mostly you’ll find it in the form of hot and cold cereals, ready-made bread and mixes for baked goods like cakes and muffins. It has a nutty, “earthy” flavor that complements cold and hot foods nicely.

Another way to benefit from Amaranth, of course, is through Shakeology. This supergrain teams up with many other superfoods to give you an abundance of benefits! It’s one of those grains that has been cultivated for over 8,000 years and was a staple food of the Aztecs. If they only had blenders back then!
