Any alternatives if I don’t have Shakeology??
I haven’t personally tried any others, Steph, but give it a shot! Maybe some other sort of chocolate meal replacement?
Any other brand of Chocolate Protein will work. The one by slim fast is really good and you can find that at right at Wal-Mart.
Thank you so much, Sarah! I don’t want to vouch for how others will react or taste, if I haven’t tasted them myself. This is helpful!
YUM! This sounds so good! Looking forward to more recipes from you! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Thank you and you’re welcome!
I know this is a stupid question but do you portion it in the green container?
I just made this and I was pleasantly surprised! Very good! I used butternut squash that I had canned last summer. So easy to mix it all together. I used Nature’s Bounty Protein instead of Shakeology and it turned out great. I honestly wouldn’t have known there was butternut in it.
Yay, Kristi! So glad you liked it!
