Hi everyone! It has been a while since I have posted my Love of the Week. Summer has gotten off to a crazy start. We have been busy every weekend. It is all good and I think I now have some sort of writing schedule figured out.
Today I want to share with you a fantastic product that has been a game changer in terms of my nutrition. Seven years ago, I started my running journey. Three years into my journey, I realized I needed to do more than just run to continue building my stamina and strength. I reached out to a friend, who is a health and fitness coach. She recommended a strength training program called PiYo. At the same time, she inquired about my nutrition. I thought my diet was okay, but I was triggering a migraine every time I ran over 6 miles at a time. It was not only annoying but would keep me down for the remainder of the day.
So what is it? The product is called Shakeology. It is filled with vitamins, nutrients, and minerals to support a healthy body. It has protein and fiber, so it fills me up and helps keep my cravings at bay. It has antioxidants to help keep me healthy, pre and probiotics, along with digestive enzymes to help with digestion. I have included more information about there product here.
Though I do not know the exact ingredient that has helped to keep the headaches away, I know it is there, and it has been a lifesaver. Nowadays, I tend not to drink my shake, instead, I made a nightly treat out of it. I have a sweet tooth and always crave something sweet after dinner. I discovered Shakeology ice cream. I take a packet of the chocolate Shakeology, mix it with a little water, just enough to give it the consistency of brownie batter, add a tsp. of peanut butter and stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Viola! A nice sweet, refreshing treat to be enjoyed.
I may add a squirt or two of fat-free whipped cream and some sprinkles for some extra goodness.
Shakeology for the win!

So glad you found some relief, Heather! Should you continue with migraines, I’ve heard great results from using magnesium oil as well π Nice review!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Thank you very much.

Great read! Shakes are so great for a quick meal!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
yes!

This is great! I get headaches frequently so I need to try this!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
I would be happy to send you a few free samples to try.
Kymberly Irwin | 9th Jul 19
Wow! I may have to give this a try. I haven’t had a protein shake or equivalent in a very long time.
Heather | 17th Jul 19
If you want a couple of free samples, let me know. I would be happy to send you some to try.
Amy | 9th Jul 19
Migraines are the worst thing to deal with! The kids always seem to be the loudest and most obnoxious when you have one too! Super happy that you found something that is helping you. The ice cream sounds delicious by the way!!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
They are evil. Yes, I try and lock myself away when I get one.
Stephanie Dee | 9th Jul 19
I have a friend who is into Shakeology and she swears by the nutritional aspects of it. She looks great at 55 and has more energy than her teenagers. I’ve never tried it, but I have to admit, your testimony is pretty compelling.
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Yes, I can feel myself dragging if I stop taking it for a while. I make sure to have in while on vacation as well.
Tricia Snow | 9th Jul 19
Looks interesting and delicious! I have been a huge fan of mineral supplementation for a while now. It really works!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Yes, our body needs more than what we are getting from the food we eat.
Barbara | 9th Jul 19
I have friends that do shakeology. This looks like a great new try for the shake.
Heather | 17th Jul 19
I really enjoy my treat each night.
Magan | 9th Jul 19
Iβve heard so much about shakeology, I may have to give it a go!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
I can send you some free samples if you could like.
Christina Furnival Real Life Mama | 10th Jul 19
Thanks for your post! Fun to hear the love of the week.
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Thanks for stopping by!
Yolanda | 10th Jul 19
I drink shakeology too! I love it. Since you have a sweet tooth you can make shakeology balls. Vanilla and chai latte are my favorite flavors.
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Yes, I have made those in the past.
Michelle | 10th Jul 19
That’s so interesting that you would get a migraine after more than 6 miles! I have had some minor headaches after my longer runs but I can usually get them to go away with some electrolyte tabs – those Nuun tablets. I actually liked Shakeology!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
I drink Nuun before and during a long run. I love it, but it did nothing for the headaches.
Lina | 10th Jul 19
I have taken shakeology in the past and loved it! Great love of the week.
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Thank you!
Cindy | 11th Jul 19
Thatβs wonderful that your migraines stopped! And the health nut in me wonders what ingredient in the mix made the difference. π
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Me too. The ingredients come from different parts of the world. I have listened to the creator, through a podcast, talk about it. I would be happy to send you the link.
jen | 12th Jul 19
I have a friend that swears by this!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
It truly is a great product and I don’t say that lightly.
Annette Durbin | 15th Jul 19
Wow, wish you didn’t have to deal with the migrains, but I’m glad you found some help!!!
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Thank you!
Jane | 15th Jul 19
I hate migraines and it can be a deal breaker when it comes to doing your favourite activity. I’m glad Piyo helped.
Heather | 17th Jul 19
Migraines are the worst.
