Everyone loves to think that they “don’t have time to eat healthy”. Frankly this excuse never made much sense, particularly when you consider it takes less than 60 seconds to whip up a nutritionally balanced, healthy meal in the form of a meal replacement shake.
Now when we say meal replacement, we aren’t referring to the Ensure/Boost type of processed garbage, laden with simple sugars and junk fats. Rather, by creating your own shake, you have full control over what goes into it.
Higher quality nutrients, plus great taste – sounds like a winning combination to us!
