Comparing Shakeology to other drinks

Have you ever wondered what makes Shakeology different than other drinks or meal replacements?  Why do we claim it is the 'Healthiest Meal of the Day"?  Check out the following nutritional information for a couple of the popular products and you can see there is so comparison between Shakeology and the other shakes.

Shakeology: There are over 70 ingredients with 23 vitamins and minerals. Nothing artificial! All you need in one shake without adding anything else.  I have written the nutritional facts down below.  It was hard to see the information on a picture of the Shakeology nutritional facts, so you can CLICK HERE to view a PDF file if you want.

Beachbody Meal Replacement Shake:  I decided to include another Beachbody shake to show that Shakeology is even superior to the other shake we offer.  However, for other products in it's 'class' (and price range), I believe this meal replacement shake is superior. :)  Again, I wasn't able to get a clear nutritional information picture on here, so I listed the nutritional facts below.  You can CLICK HERE for the nutritional information in PDF format if you prefer.
