Shake the Crave

I was given product to review. No other compensation was given. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Do you drink a shake as part of your healthy lifestyle? I honestly do not usually recommend drinking packaged shakes, because they are so chock full of additives and extra junk. I would rather have my clients eating healthy food than drinking a bunch of chemical junk.

When Trusted Health Products offered to send me samples of their new Shake the Crave shakes, I was skeptical. I did what I always do first. I checked the ingredients. Surprisingly, they were simple, and I knew what each one meant. Imagine that!

Here are those ingredients:

Organic Non-Fat Dry Milk, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Coconut Powder, Organic Ground Vanilla Bean (in Vanilla Shake Mix), Organic Cocoa Powder (in Chocolate Shake Mix), Electrolyte Blend (Potassium Citrate, Calcium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Sulfate, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride).

Shake the Crave is their brand new, incredibly delicious, guilt-free shake that fills you up, boosts your energy and helps you feel full longer. I decided to give them a shot, and see if they had any place in my diet.

I started drinking them mixed in with my favorite protein shake before/after workouts. I absolutely love the taste of the shakes, and I feel that they give me the perfect energy boost and workout prep or recovery drink.

Now, you might look at the Shake the Crave shakes and say, Whoa! That is a lot of sugar! The type of natural sugar in these shakes converts to glucose quickly, which fuels ATP production in your body. ATP is what gives your body the energy to think, move, perform – it is the currency of your body and without it you can’t sustain life. This formulation will give you a smooth energy boost and help keep you full longer, plus it tastes great.

If you are looking for a great portable, clean ingredient energy boost, these shakes are great. If you are looking to get a little bit more out of the Shake the Crave shakes, check out their game plan below.

For substantial health benefits, adults should do at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a
week of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) a week of vigorous-intensity
aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. Aerobic activity should be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and preferably, it should be spread throughout the week. Adults should also include muscle-strengthening activities that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week.
