  • Proteins
     

    Proteins

    While other shakes use soy protein, we don’t. Instead, we sourced a variety of high-quality whey and plant-based proteins to deliver a complete amino acid profile with all 9 essential amino acids that helps support lean muscle growth and reduce cravings.*

    • Flax

      Flax

      Cultivated as early as 3000 B.C. in Mesopotamia, flax is one of the original superfoods. In addition to protein and fiber, the seeds of this blue-flowered plant contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid that studies suggest can help support heart health. It’s also a dietary source of lignans, a group of important phytonutrients.

      Flaxseed grows best in drier, colder weather, so we source ours primarily from our neighbors up north in Canada in addition to other similar growing regions around the world.

    • Rice Protein
      Only in plant-based vegan formulas.

      Rice Protein

      Rice protein is higher in the essential amino acids methionine and cysteine, which makes it complementary to pea protein which tends to have lower amounts of these two essential amino acids.

    • Quinoa

      Quinoa

      Valued by Inca warriors and modern-day astronauts alike for its nutritive value and energy-providing sustenance, quinoa’s reputation as a superfood is well deserved. In addition to being a solid plant protein option, quinoa also contains trace amounts of key minerals. 

    • Pea Protein

      Pea Protein

      There’s a reason for this plant-based protein’s rapidly growing popularity: Pea protein provides amino acids that can stimulate muscle growth. Pea protein also has branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine).

      Shakeology contains proteins from a variety of sources to help you get a variety of amino acids. Our pea protein is sourced from many places including North America and parts of Europe.

    • Whey
      Only in whey-based formulas.

      Whey

      Quick-digesting, fast-absorbing, and high in branched-chain and essential amino acids, whey is a tough protein to beat. But if you need more evidence of its nutritional power, consider this: Compared to other protein sources, whey has high levels of leucine, an amino acid that can act as an “on switch” for protein synthesis.

      Our whey protein isolate is more bioavailable than other milk protein concentrates. We source our whey from many places, including US-based cheesemakers from areas such as California’s Central Valley.

  • Superfruits
    & Antioxidants

    Superfruits and Antioxidants

    Free radicals can cause damage to your cells. For centuries, people have turned to superfruits and their antioxidant properties to help combat free radicals.*

    • Acerola Cherry

      Acerola Cherry

      Tiny, tart, and known for their vibrant red color, acerola cherries (also known as Barbados cherries) are a natural source of vitamin C. After the fruits ripen, they are juiced and made into a powder before they are added to Shakeology.

    • Bilberry / Blueberry

      Bilberry / Blueberry

      Thanks to their dark bluish skin, bilberries (also called huckleberries) are often mistaken for blueberries but have a more intense flavor. Like blueberries, they have a high concentration of compounds called anthocyanins, which have antioxidant-like properties.

      Blueberries are another superfruit with important phytonutrients. American Indians, as well as early settlers, valued the wild blueberry for its many versatile uses. Blueberries have a vivid color and slightly sweet taste, and they deliver antioxidant vitamins A and C as well as fiber.

    • Camu-Camu

      Camu-Camu

      Native to the rivers and swamps of the Amazon rainforest in Peru, this berry has a number of beneficial compounds, including lots of vitamin C!

    • Lycium (Goji) Berry

      Lycium (Goji) Berry

      This red berry with a tangy, sweet-and-sour flavor is a relative of tomatoes and chili peppers. Used for more than 2,000 years in traditional practice throughout Asia, studies suggest that lycium berries have antioxidant-like properties and that consuming them can support feelings of well-being—just one reason why lycium berry juice is featured in Shakeology’s superfruit blend.

    • Rose Hips

      Rose Hips

      If you’ve ever seen a rose bush after the flowers have fallen off in late summer, you might have noticed the red or orange pods left behind. Those are the fruits, also known as rose hips. In addition to vitamin C, they have other body-boosting phytonutrients.

    • Pomegranate

      Pomegranate

      Cultivated for millennia throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean, pomegranates contain hundreds of seeds bursting with tart, crimson-colored juice. That juice has ellagitannins, a phytonutrient that’s valued by athletes and those who exercise frequently.

    • Schisandra

      Schisandra

      Native to the forests of northern China, this vining plant is known in traditional Chinese practice as the five-flavor fruit because its berries possess all five basic tastes: bitter, sweet, sour, salty, and hot. Used by traditional practitioners to promote well-being, schisandra delivers compounds called lignans, found in the seeds of the fruit.

    • Luo Han Guo

      Luo Han Guo

      Often called monk fruit after the Buddhist monks who cultivated this small green melon in the misty mountain regions of southern China, luo han guo is prized for its intense sweetness, which is about 150 times sweeter than sugar. But unlike sugar, the low doses of this fruit extract don’t contribute calories or carbohydrates.

    • Whole Coffee Fruit

      Whole Coffee Fruit

      For centuries, farmers would harvest only the seeds, which we recognize as coffee beans, and discard the surrounding red fleshy fruit. However, all that changed when science revealed this tart and juicy coffee fruit has antioxidants, chlorogenic acids, and polyphenols. Harvesting the entire fruit and not just the bean also minimizes our carbon footprint while increasing sustainable farming.

      Our coffee fruit comes from a farm in Mexico. This particular farm has mastered a way to preserve the integrity of this superfood by harvesting and processing within hours of picking to avoid wasting the precious fruit.

    • Cocoa

      Cocoa

      Central American cultures have long valued cocoa beans. The Olmecs cultivated this superfood as early as 1500 B.C. for use in religious ceremonies and funerals, and to promote vigor in battle. Later, the Mayans worshipped cocoa, call it the “food of the gods.” Today, cocoa is most commonly used for chocolate production, but its list of potential health benefits is growing. It delivers antioxidant-like compounds called flavonoids, and studies show that cocoa powder may support overall wellness.

  • Prebiotics
    & Probiotics

    Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Digestive Enzymes

    According to the USDA, the average American gets a little over half the daily fiber recommendation of 28 grams.‡ That’s why our formula contains a combination of insoluble and soluble fibers, as well as several digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics to help with nutrient absorption, regularity, and healthy digestion.*

    ‡Based on a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet.

    • Chicory Root

      Chicory Root

      A relative of the dandelion, the chicory plant has a variety of culinary uses from coffee substitute to salad leaves (both radicchio and Belgian endive are close relatives). Chicory root contains inulin, a type of dietary fiber that works as a prebiotic, meaning that it helps feed the good bacteria in your gut.

      Our chicory primarily comes from Belgium and France where chicory root graces the regional hillsides. This valuable root thrives only in specific regions where cooler summer climates and fertile, well-drained soil are found.

    • Yacon Root

      Yacon Root

      This tuber vegetable is similar to a potato and is often confused with jicama. Although the root is sometimes known as a Peruvian ground apple, its flower is a species of daisy. The root, a common food in South America, includes a type of soluble fiber known as fructooligosaccharides that functions as a prebiotic.

      Our yacon root hides deep in the rugged Andes mountains of Peru. Grown underground, yacon root is quickly harvested and processed in order to prevent oxidation.

    • Bacillus Coagulans

      Bacillus Coagulans

      Bacillus coagulans is different from many other probiotics in that it forms spores, meaning it can stay dormant until activated in the gut. This makes it more tolerant to conditions (e.g., high temperatures, acidic environments) it might encounter during processing or in the stomach.

    • Digestive Enzymes

      Digestive Enzymes

      Digestive enzymes aid in the digestion of food by breaking down complex molecules into smaller pieces that can be absorbed by the body. There are 6 enzymes in Shakeology, included to support your body’s digestive system. These include amylase, glucoamylase, and alpha-galactosidase to help break down complex carbohydrates called polysaccharides; cellulase to help break down cellulose, which is a component of plant cell walls that humans can’t digest; and lactase and invertase to help break down simple carbohydrates (disaccharides) like lactose and sucrose.

    • Pea Fiber

      Pea Fiber

      Peas are an excellent source of fiber—particularly insoluble fiber—which can provide a range of benefits for gut health. In addition to feeding the good bacteria in your intestines, the fiber from peas can help facilitate the flow of waste through your digestive tract.

  • Adaptogens
     

    Adaptogens

    Traditional practitioners in many cultures have used adaptogens for thousands of years to help the body adapt and respond to the effects of stress.*

    • Astragalus

      Astragalus

      Native to China and Mongolia, the herb astragalus membranaceus plays an important role in traditional Chinese medicine. Astragalus contains phytonutrients known as flavonoids, which are thought to have an antioxidant-like effect on the body. That might explain why the root of this plant is believed to function as an adaptogen (a substance traditionally used to help the body adapt to stress) and is widely used in herbal products.

    • Cordyceps

      Cordyceps

      Also known as Chinese caterpillar mushrooms, this fungus isn’t technically a mushroom. Cordyceps is considered an adaptogen and has been used for thousands of years in Chinese and Tibetan practice.

    • Ashwagandha

      Ashwagandha

      The root of this plant has been used in the traditional Indian medicine ayurveda for centuries to help the body deal with stressors. Also known as Indian ginseng and winter cherry, it is considered a potent “rasayana,” or rejuvenating tonic, by ayurvedic practitioners.

    • Chaga

      Chaga

      As a fungus that grows on birch and other trees in cold climates as diverse as Siberia, Korea, and Alaska, chaga mushrooms aren’t much to look at, but that hasn’t stopped traditional herbalists from using this adaptogen-like fungus in their practice.

      Our world-renowned supplier of mushrooms resides in North America. They’ve perfected a unique process to harvest chaga right at the peak of perfection and mill it into a powder to help maintain its potency.

    • Maitake

      Maitake

      Maitake is Japanese for “dancing mushroom,” which is far more charming than its English names: ram’s head and monkey’s bench. Native to China, it is used in Chinese and Japanese traditional medicine to support general wellness.

    • Reishi

      Reishi

      Also known as lingzhi (Chinese for “divine mushroom”), this fungus is traditionally used throughout Asia for its potential antioxidant properties.

    • Maca

      Maca

      Sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng, maca is a cruciferous plant closely related to broccoli and cabbage that’s grown in Peru’s Andes mountains. The root of this adaptogen, which resembles a radish or a turnip, is traditionally used by both men and women to support stamina.

      We work directly with family owned maca plantations in Peru where maca thrives three miles above sea level in the chilly Andes mountains.

  • Supergreens
    & Phytonutrients

    Supergreens and Phytonutrients

    Why did we put so many supergreens and phytonutrients in Shakeology? Because sometimes eating a bunch of kale isn’t as convenient—or as yummy—as a delicious shake. Plus, who couldn't use more phytonutrients in their diet?

    • Spinach

      Spinach

      The nutrient-dense leafy green that gave Popeye his super strength provides iron as well as an alphabet of vitamins and minerals.

    • Kale

      Kale

      This dark, leafy member of the cabbage family has been a staple of Mediterranean diets since Roman times—and recognized as a nutritional powerhouse for just as long. It’s a particularly good way to get fiber. It comes in a variety of colors from bright green to purple, which are produced by the plant’s numerous phytonutrient compounds.

    • Matcha Green Tea

      Matcha Green Tea

      Made from powdered green tea leaves, matcha is one of the world’s most celebrated health foods. It delivers important phytonutrient compounds called catechins. We source our matcha from a family owned company in Japan that carefully cultivates the leaves to deliver the highest-quality ingredient.

      Matcha has been used for centuries in ancient Japanese tradition and is carefully cultivated by our supplier to deliver the highest-quality form of the ingredient.

    • Chlorella

      Chlorella

      This single-celled algae has chlorophyll as well as many other important phytonutrients. In the past, NASA conducted studies on this plant for use as space food because it supplies many nutrients even in small amounts.

      Our chlorella comes from South Korea and is fermented in a clean, sterile environment to produce algae of the highest quality possible.

    • Cinnamon

      Cinnamon

      Derived from the branches of trees in the cinnamomum genus, this spice is native to the Caribbean, South America, and Southeast Asia. Enjoyed as far back as 2000 B.C. in Egypt, and used medicinally by medieval physicians, cinnamon is once again experiencing a resurgence as a health ingredient. Cinnamaldehyde, a phytonutrient that gives cinnamon its distinct smell and flavor, may have wellness properties.

  • Vitamins
    & Minerals

    Vitamins and Minerals

    You need a variety of vitamins and minerals for optimum health. In Shakeology's formulas, these essential nutrients come together to perform hundreds of roles in the body such as helping support energy metabolism and immune function.*

    • Vitamin C

      Vitamin C

      Once popular among sailors for treating scurvy, this antioxidant deserves much of its attention as a super-vitamin. Studies suggest that it supports healthy immune function and aids in the absorption of iron from plant-based foods. It is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, making it important for helping maintain healthy skin and connective tissue.

    • Calcium

      Calcium

      Most people associate calcium with dairy products, but this electrolyte is also found in many plants and plant-based foods, such as broccoli, spinach, nuts, seeds, kelp, and beans. Without calcium, bones wouldn’t form (around 99% of the calcium in the body is found in bones and teeth), blood wouldn’t clot, and muscles (including the heart) wouldn’t contract. Although it’s the most abundant mineral in the human body, we can’t produce it on our own, so we must obtain it from dietary sources.

    • Sodium

      Sodium

      Most commonly known as a component of table salt, this key electrolyte plays a number of critical roles in the body, including the maintenance of healthy nerve function and fluid balance. It’s also important for regulating blood volume. The sodium in Shakeology comes from pink Himalayan salt.

    • Iron

      Iron

      Like calcium, iron is a mineral that’s necessary for life. Not only is it important for making red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body, but it’s also a key element of the protein that helps muscles store and use that oxygen (myoglobin). The iron in Shakeology is present naturally in some of our ingredients.

    • Folate
      Fortified only in whey-based formulas.

      Folate

      Sometimes referred to as vitamin B9, this B-vitamin is needed to make DNA and other genetic material. Folate is also important to prevent birth defects known as neural tube defects. Folic acid, which is often used in foods and supplements, has to be converted to folate in the body. Methylfolate, the form of folate in Shakeology, may be better than folic acid for some individuals because their bodies can use this form more easily.

    • Potassium

      Potassium

      This mineral is another key electrolyte that works in tandem with sodium to maintain the body’s fluid balance and conduct nerve impulses. It’s also important for muscle contraction. The potassium in Shakeology is present naturally in some of our ingredients.

    • Vitamin A
      Fortified only in whey-based formulas.

      Vitamin A

      You likely already know the importance of vitamin A for vision and eye health, but this antioxidant also supports healthy immune function.

    • Vitamin D
      Fortified only in whey-based formulas.

      Vitamin D

      The body produces vitamin D3 when exposed to sunlight, but if you spend most of your day indoors (or live in northern latitudes), you likely don’t produce enough on your own and must rely on dietary sources (including whey Shakeology!). Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption (and thus bone health).

    • Vitamin E
      Fortified only in whey-based formulas.

      Vitamin E

      This vitamin is an essential nutrient, meaning it’s required by the body, but can’t be produced by it, so it must come from the diet. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E is important for overall health. The vitamin E we add is 100% derived from sunflowers.

    • Vitamin K2
      Fortified only in whey-based formulas.

      Vitamin K2

      Although bacteria in your intestines produce a small amount of this vitamin, the bulk of it must come from your diet. And it’s important to get enough; research shows it plays a key role in bone and cardiovascular health. We use the highest-purity menaquinone-7 form of vitamin K2 available.

No Compromises

Our goal was never to make an average shake.

Why? Because you can already find plenty of run-of-the-mill shakes at the supermarket. But more importantly, we believe you feel better when you feed your body high-quality, whole food-based nutrition. That’s why we set out to create the most potent shake we could with the best ingredients we could find—without compromising our values.

Our Philosophy

Shortcuts aren’t our thing.

When it comes to sourcing ingredients and formulating our final product, you could say we’re obsessed with doing things right.

  • Handpick Suppliers

    Why are we so choosy about the company we keep? Because we want to make sure that what we say is in the bag is actually in the bag. We work with suppliers we know and trust—and only the ones who meet our strict requirements.

  • Ensure Potency

    We work to preserve the inherent beneficial properties in each ingredient so you can enjoy a potent final product.

  • Test and Test Again

    Each batch of Shakeology (including ingredients and final product) goes through over 1,900 tests to make sure each bag tastes great and meets our quality standards.

  • Identify New Ingredients

    Our scientists and nutritionists are constantly looking for new, cutting-edge ingredients to enhance our formula. Each new ingredient has been carefully considered to meet our high standards in purity, potency, taste, function, and stability.
