As anyone who knows me at all well realizes, I am a big believer in Shakeology! I drink it every single day and feel deprived if I have to miss it for some reason.
But the number one reason I hear from people about why they don’t get on Shakeology is that it’s too expensive.
I’m here to show you how not only is it NOT too expensive, but if you incorporate it into your daily diet, it can actually save you money.
First of all, the retail price of Shakeology is about $120 per month.
Oh, the horror, I can just hear you saying!!! I’ll be honest, that was my initial reaction at first.
But then when I came out from behind my hand-covered eyes and took a closer look, I realized that we shouldn’t always judge things with a knee-jerk reaction.
At the regular retail price, you are paying about $4 for one of your meals each day. I defy you to go out and buy lunch for just $4 pretty much anywhere. And even if you do find something for less, take a good hard look at what you’re eating. Is it healthy? How many calories does it have? How much fat?
That’s what I thought.
Even if you make your meal at home, if you add up the cost of your ingredients, you are highly likely to go over that amount.
Also, most people can completely cut out their current vitamin supplements and other similar products because it’s already in their Shakeology. You also cut out some of the other not-so-healthy food choices that you’re currently buying and move that cost over to Shakeology, which usually ends up being less per month on your grocery bill.
And let’s look at what we don’t bat an eye at. Or some of us, anyway.
How about that coffee from Starbucks or that Blizzard from Dairy Queen? Yikes! Not only are you paying more for it, in most cases, you’re also getting your entire daily caloric allowance, and then some, with just that one high-fat, high-calorie choice.
And did you know you can make your Shakeology taste like an amazing dessert?
You totally can! I’ll show you how.
And if you really want to save money and be on Shakeology, your best bet by far is to sign as a coach. Coaches get a 25% discount on Shakeology, as well as all other Beachbody products, making it about $3 a serving.
Now try to beat that price and eat a healthy meal all at the same time.
“But I don’t want to be a coach!”
I get that. I know that not everyone is ready to be a coach. And here’s the thing: You don’t have to. You can sign as a coach, get on Shakeology on home direct, eat your healthiest meal every single day, and not do another darned thing, if that’s your choice.
So just to break things down and clarify things, let’s take a look at some options.
Options for Saving With Shakeology
Option Number 1: As a customer, set it up as Auto Ship or what we call Home Direct. When you do this, you don’t pay shipping. So that saves you about $9-10 per month – SWEET! And it still comes with its 30-day bottom of the bag guarantee, so you can get a full refund after 30 days if you’re not totally sold on Shakeology. But odds are you will be – it’s amazing! And signing up for autoship for 1 year saves you about $100-120 on shipping costs! Plus, you get two free gifts with your Auto Ship order.
Option Number 2: As a customer, become a Beachbody club member. With a club membership, you can save 10% on your Shakeology. The club membership costs about $39/quarter, and it comes with a lot of cool features like a personalized nutrition plan, 10% off your purchases, cash prizes for working out, and VIP access to celebrity trainers! This is a great option if you’re interested in a personalized meal plan or want to buy other products like vitamins, recovery formula, or P90X One on One monthly DVDS, or if you live outside of the US!
Option Number 3: As I mentioned above, the greatest cost savings is to become a Beachbody coach yourself. As a coach, you also have options. You can become a coach just for the discount, or we can work together to build your business for some extra income. As a coach, you save 25% a month on your Shakeology! That’s $30 you save each month!!
If you go the coach route, here’s how it works.
Initially, you pay a $39.95 fee to sign up as a coach. Every month after that, you pay a fee of $14.95. This fee is basically to keep your websites up and all that stuff so you don’t have to worry about that.
Now for the best part of all, your net savings per month:
Gross cost of Shakeology: $119.95
Shipping (approximate): $10 (For one-time orders. Remember, auto ship is free shipping.)
Total as a customer not on home direct: $129.95
Coach price, 25% off: $89.95
Monthly fee as a coach: $14.95
Coach price, with monthly fee: $104.90
Savings per month as a coach: $129.95 – $104.90 = $25.05 per month
Per year, that’s $300.60 you save as a coach!
So, there it is! I just wanted to share some options to save money with Shakeology.
If you’ve been wanting to give it a try, maybe this will help you decide what to do.
