Why is Shakeology So Expensive

When I first talk to someone about Shakeology, one of the questions that I hear the most is "Why is it so expensive?"
A 30 day supply costs $129.95. That ends up being around $4 per day.
$130/mo for a protein shake is pretty pricey, right?
How much do you spend per day on lunch? Even when I used to just run through the drive through, I was spending around $5 - $10. Every time my fiance and I go to Subway we spend over $15. If all of your normal lunch costs add up to more than $4 per day, then you will actually be SAVING money with Shakeology. You will have more energy and will FEEL better. You will be transforming your health, which can also save you A LOT of $$$ on medical bills later on in life.
But, it is true that Shakeology WAS NOT created to be CHEAP. You could save over $50 per month by drinking Slim Fast Shakes instead of Shakeology.
Let's take a look at the ingredients list:

*I had a very hard time typing this, And i'm expected to put this in my body? Gross.
Is your lunch giving you your daily amount of vitamins and minerals, in an UNPROCESSED and NATURAL state? How about Antioxidants? Pre- and probiotics? Digestive enzymes? Protein and essential amino acids? Phytonutrients? Adaptogens? Superfoods? No processed or artificial foods?
Chances are, you answered "no" to at least a few of those. It isn't just a super-expensive protein shake. It is a HEALTH shake, and 30 full meals... your daily dose of nutrition. Maybe it isn't that it is so over-priced. Maybe it can be hard to see the value over the once-per-month pricetag, especially when you just didn't know what is actually IN Shakeology. The energy, weight loss, regularity, reduced cravings, and overall health, to me, is worth $4.. especially since it does actually save me money each month. It saves me around $150 weekly between myself and my fiance. We used to spend $4 for a Starbucks coffee and $7-$10 per lunch on average.. x2.. daily.. That really adds up! But I never even thought twice about spending that much since it was a daily expense, opposed to buying 30 meals all at once. It doesn't seem like THAT much when you just swipe your card for small amounts every day. I really had to sit down and add it all up to realize what an incredible value I was getting with Shakeology. I challenge you to for ONE FULL WEEK, keep track of every food expense. At the end of the week, look everything over and really ask yourself... Are you spending less than $30 per week on lunch, coffee, ect? Could you replace lunch with Shakeology for your daily nutrition? Is your health worth it? With our 30 day, bottom of the bag guarantee, you really have nothing to lose!
