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.

  1. 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!

    1. Hmm I’m not sure which one this was. If you search “shaker cup” you’ll find a bunch online! I hope that helps!

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

    1. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. Hi Sarah, I’m super excited to make this, however, I’m not sure which protein powder did you use? I clicked on the link and MCT powder shows up as well as protein powder.

  7. HOW I WAS CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS

    I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and a renewed sense of hope in my heart. For years, I battled with the physical and emotional torment caused by the herpes virus. It felt like an unending struggle, until I discovered a remarkable solution that changed my life forever.

    Like many others, I had tried countless remedies, medications and therapies in search of a cure. I had lost hope, resigned to the belief that herpes was something I would have to live with indefinitely. However, fate intervened and led me to a breakthrough that altered the course of my life.

    Upon stumbling upon a revolutionary treatment option, my skepticism slowly transformed into a flicker of hope. The treatment was a natural remedy from Dr Awase [ HERBS ]

    Over time, as I followed the treatment diligently, I started noticing positive changes and I experienced a boost in my overall well-being. I am ecstatic to share that I am now herpes-free confirmed by my Dr after a test was done. The treatment I received was nothing short of miraculous and I couldn’t be more grateful. I have regained my self-confidence and the burden that once weighed heavily upon me has been lifted. I was cured of my herpes virus through natural medication.

    If you, like me, have been struggling with herpes and searching for a way out, please know that hope exists. May my story inspire hope in the hearts of those who need it. He also specializes in getting rid of HPV, OVARIAN CYST, PCOS, HEPATITIS and a lot more.
