This is a number that stops you: over one billion servings sold. That’s an impressive number for a product that has never been on a store shelf (until now). But this protein superfood shake has been serving satisfied customers for over 15 years, and unlike many nutritional brands that will build momentum on a message of quality and efficacy, but gradually dilute that quality with the eventual lure of profit, Shakeology maintains, if not improves, its standard of excellence and efficacy even to this day.
The big picture: what the numbers show
According to a BrandRated.com review, Shakeology owns average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars on Amazonwhere the most popular product — the 30-serving Chocolate Vegan bag — consistently generates rave reviews. On Trustpilot, the picture is equally warm among fans: review analysis at HonestBrandReviews.com found that 66% of Shakeology reviews are rated Great or Excellent.
It’s worth noting upfront — as multiple review sites note that Shakeology is sold through a network of independent « Beach Trainers, » many of whom earn commissions on sales. In 2024, BODi closed the network and moved to a multi-channel sales model that will include retail.
While many reviews come from former Beachbody coaches, many non-affiliated reviewers have also been positive, and their votes make up much of what follows.
What customer reviews say:
-
Taste — the most repeated compliment
The one thing that comes up over and over again in positive Shakeology reviews is the taste. An analysis at EnvisionSolutionsNow.com noted this « the great tasting flavors of the shakes » was the most repeated positive point in both professional and customer reviews.
On Amazon, one reviewer wrote:
« Best shake taste and consistency on the market! I’ve tried a handful of others that tasted awful and watery. »
Another Amazon customer chimed in:
« I like that it has a deep chocolate flavor without being too sweet. »
And from Influenster.com, a reviewer declared:
« Vegan chocolate is my favorite as it tastes great… I love this protein powder! I’m not a fan of protein powders to begin with as they usually always have an aftertaste; but not this one! I’ve had it in shakes, chocolate mousse, ice cream etc! »
Ryan and Alex – two engineers who published a detailed 10-year study on their website RyanAndAlex.com – put it simply:
« I would never pay that much money and drink a shake every day if I didn’t like the taste. »
They continue to note this Chocolate and vanilla are the most popular flavors among their customer base, valued for their versatility in recipes. (Note: Ryan and Alex appear to have been Beachbody coaches.)
-
Satiety and craving control
The second biggest positive theme is how well Shakeology manages hunger. This is not only proven by BODi’s clinical study, but is central to the product’s pitch – it’s not positioned as a superfood protein shake, but as a whole food shake designed to solve junk food cravings.
From the testimonials section of the BODi website:
« Shakeology helps curb my sweet cravings, gives me energy, and helps my results! I’ve tried other shakes in the past and never had the success I had with Shakeology. »
« Shakeology makes me want to eat less because I know I’m putting in the effort to get results and fueling my body with the things I need. »
A review compiled on HonestBrandReviews.com cites:
« Shakeology has completely transformed my eating habits. I get what I need from my shake and feel full instead of mindlessly snacking with no nutritional value. »
« Shakeology gives me energy, supplies my body with the real nutrients it needs, feeds my muscles and keeps me satisfied. »
An anonymous Ask MetaFilter user who appears to be a regular (not a trainer) wrote:
« I’ve been on Shakeology for a few months, it definitely reduces my cravings for bad things and I feel better/healthier overall. »
-
Nutritional density — The all-in-one appeal.
One of Shakeology’s main selling points is that it combines protein, fiber, probiotics, prebiotics, adaptogens, antioxidants, and superfoods into one serving—saving customers the hassle of buying and managing a cabinet full of supplements.
On Amazon, customers describe it this way:
« Shakeology is a great liquid food, packed with lots of superfoods and easy to make. »
« Tastes great with milk, half a banana and a teaspoon of almond butter. Very satisfying and filling. Helps with elimination. »
An Influenster reviewer made the value comparison explicit:
« The price may be higher than protein powders, but this is not just your average protein powder – the extra supplements you have to take on top of the normal powder are totally worth the money. »
Ryan and Alex of RyanAndAlex.com put it memorably in their 10-year review:
« Drinking Shakeology is like daily food insurance that allows us to cheat and not cheat. »
One of their customers, quoted by RyanAndAlex.com, added:
« I know a lot of people who complain about the price, but my motto is: you get what you pay for. The shakes are PACKED with dense nutrition and superfoods. I drink it every day as one of my meals. »
-
Weight loss and energy
Weight loss support and improved energy levels round out the main reasons why this shake has achieved billions in sales, as read in the aggregated reviews on BrandRated.com.
Most Trustpilot reviewers who rated Shakeology positively stated that it « changed their eating habits », gave them constant energy and helped them achieve their weight loss goals.
On Amazon, one buyer wrote:
« The best shake I’ve ever had! It gives me a lot of nutrients that I need but have a hard time getting. Once I started drinking this daily, I saw a big improvement in my weight loss journey! »
The EatProteins.com review (published in 2026) summarizes the broader pattern well: « Long-term users report continued satisfaction after years of daily consumption. The product inspires strong brand loyalty among Beachbody/BODi program participants. »
-
Vegan and plant-based options
Shakeology has built a loyal following among plant-based eaters who appreciate that many of the flavors are completely vegan without sacrificing taste or nutritional value.
BrandRated.com noted that positive Trustpilot reviewers often highlight the brand variety of vegan options as the main reason they liked the product.
So why has Shakeology sold over one billion servings?
A billion servings is a remarkable number for a premium product. So what accounts for this kind of sustained demand for more than 15 years?
It fills a real nutritional gap. When Shakeology launched in 2009, the « superfood nutritional shake » category didn’t even exist. BODi’s own blog states this « Shakeology created the superfood nutrition shake category 15 years ago. » Especially for its CEO, a self-proclaimed « vegetable hater, » he commissioned the creation of Shakeology for people who can’t—or won’t—eat the recommended daily servings of fruits, vegetables, and fiber.
It blends incredibly well with a fitness ecosystem. Shakeology does not exist in isolation. It’s sold alongside over 140 fitness programs like P90X, Insanity, 21-Day Fix and other high-commitment home workout programs, and often a monthly subscription to Shakeology comes with a free trial of the BODi fitness platform. People who want a real lifestyle change find that the combination of starting a new fitness program plus shakeology is the combination that gives them the best results.
It tastes good enough to become a habit. This point cannot be overstated. A healthy product that people hate to drink is eventually abandoned. Shakeology’s consistent praise for the taste has helped make it a daily ritual rather than a chore for millions of customers.
It continues to evolve. BODi publishes continuous updates to the Shakeology formula, with co-creators Isabelle Daikeler and Darin Olien meeting monthly with an R&D team to review ingredients and testing standards. This team is demanding. And the 2024 launch of the 0g added sugar Shakeology line is one example of the brand responding to changing consumer priorities without sacrificing taste or nutrition.
Fair note
It would be incomplete if we did not admit that Shakeology some reviews on the Internet are mixed. Critics point to the high price—though their comparisons are usually to regular protein shakes or pure green powders, which lack the comprehensive nature of Shakeology. Some users said they had digestive issues but resolved them by halving the portion size. The EatProteins.com review noted that the product had complaints related to subscription cancellation issues, a separate issue from the product itself and one that BODi believes has been resolved with their switch to Shopify and easy to use subscription management software.
What the positive reviews reflect is a genuine and loyal customer base that Shakeology really works for – for taste, nutrition, convenience and healthy habits. It’s a meaningful story and supports the fact that the first billion servings sold won’t be the last.
