This homemade Shakeology © mix is my go-to for an affordable superfood protein shake that doesn’t break the bank. It contains all the superfoods my body craves at a more affordable price than ready-made mixes.

Are you looking to get healthy and lose some weight with the help of Shakeology© but you can’t afford the high price tag? Try this homemade Shakeology recipe and save money while reaping the benefits of a quality protein shake!

Whether you have been using Shakeology already or you’ve explored this popular list of Shakeology alternatives, or you’ve tried my FAVORITE Shakeology alternative, you may find yourself searching for a super affordable option to continue consuming the shakes you love. This Shakeology substitute is homemade and contains the superfood ingredients you need to see real results.

 

How To Make Homemade Shakeology Mix

This homemade Shakeology mix is easy to prepare and lets you be in control of the quality of ingredients that go into it. Feel free to customize this to your liking and add and subtract things that are specific to your health needs.

This Shakeology substitute homemade mix costs about $1.50 per serving depending on where you source your ingredients. Keep in mind that this recipe really allows you to customize everything so your cost will vary depending on what you choose to use.

Don’t forget, you’ll also need a quality blender to make your shake in after you create the homemade shake mix. I prefer the Ninja blender because it does a great job of producing the perfect texture every time.

Homemade Shakeology Ingredients

As I said before this list is customizable. If you aren’t a fan of whey protein then use a different protein source instead. That’s the beauty of making your very own Shakeology mix from scratch!

  • Whey Protein – I prefer the Now Foods brand whey protein because I have actually visited their factory and witnessed the rigorous testing and quality standards this product undergoes. It’s impressive and it is also non-gmo which is a must for me. It is also soy-free. I highly recommend avoiding soy as it mimicks estrogen and can lead to hormone imbalances.
  • Superfoods – I like the Orgain Organic Superfoods because it includes 50 superfoods and 1 billion probiotics. It is also dairy-free, gluten-free and non-GMO in addition to being organic. It’s a powerhouse of goodness.
  • Maca Powder – I like to add some Maca powder to my shake mix because helps bolster vitality and energy without any crash. This maca powder is organic and adds a sweet and malty benefit to the shakes.
  • Chia Seeds – These organic chia seeds are high in Omega 3’s, containing more Omega 3’s than salmon. High in fiber, has more calcium by weight than milk, high in iron, potassium, folate, phosoporus, magnesium and manganese. And don’t forget the antioxidants! Chia seeds also help you to feel full longer.
  • Cacao (not to be confused with cocoa!) – For a chocolate kick you can add cacao powder to your mix. Either add to the whole mix or just add one shake at a time when you prefer a chocolate flavor. This brand superfood staple cacao powder joins reishi powder and cacao for delicious and convenient cacao with added health benefits.
  • Flax – This ground flax seed is organic and a good source of fiber and omega-3’s. It helps aid in digestion, supports heart health, brain health and hormone balance.
  • PB2 (optional) – If you love peanut butter then add some PB2 powder to your mix or a single shake for some added protein and flavor!

Okay ready for the really difficult recipe???

You are simply going to combine the entire container of each of these in a big container and mix it up! Now, feel free to play around with the amounts of things. For example, you may not like so many chia seeds in your shake. Add less to begin with and add more to taste. Customize it to your liking.

I leave out the Cacao and PB2 and just add it to the shakes I make because sometimes I want a vanilla or berry flavor so I prefer to have a vanilla mix that I can make any way I like.

If you like chocolate peanut butter then just add them to the mix and you’ll have them pre-made. The maca powder has more than double the servings than the rest of the products so I add 3/4 of a bag of it to the mix.

I then use the scoop from the whey powder and scoop two level scoops to make one shake.

Making your own superfood protein shake mix allows you the ability to control the quality of ingredients as well as to customize what goes into your shake and meet your specific health goals.

    Hi there Sarah – Hope you and yours are well
    I came across your shakeology copycat recipe and I was wondering if you could share with me the kind of container you have in your picture, the one with the light green cap.
    I am looking for a container in which I could create the shake and take it with me.
    Would you mind?
    Take care and hope to hear from you soon!

    I just made this mix today and did my first shake with 1/2 a small banana and frozen blueberries. So good! Thanks for the recipe!

    How long does this mix usually last for you? How much do you have in a day usually? I am wondering if this works okay as a meal replacement? I work overnights and it is hard to get a meal in when I am hungry and have no ambition or energy to make anything. Thanks!

      Hmm I would say it lasts over a month for me. It depends how many shakes a day you do. I have a family of 6 so it’s hard for me to say as we all consume it. This is a great meal replacement full of protein and superfoods. I used to do overnights as well and this will be a great option for you.

    I couldn’t find the size container in the why protein you listed. Trying to figure out how big your container was so I know how much to use.

    Thanks!
