The New Vanilla Shakeology has finally arrived. It has been a long time coming as well. Back at the 2010 coach summit, Carl Daikeler (the CEO of Beachbody), announced that Vanilla Shakeology may never happen. This was due the the fact that it is extremely difficult to get an Organic Vanilla flavor without cutting the […]
Believe it or not, Creatine is one of the most popular sport nutrition supplements of all time and it is actually one of the most studied in history, even more than protein. Even though it has been used as a sports supplement for over 30 years there is a ton of controversy surrounding it. I […]
Body Beast is coming out very soon. Beachbody is releasing new Body Beast info weekly and I believe that a summer release date is definitely in the picture. The lastest info to come out is the new Body Beast Supplements. This line of Body Beast supplements are being released as Beachbody’s EXTREME Nutrition supplement line. […]
I may have finally found a great protein bar in QuestBar. Finding a healthy protein bar is like finding a needle in a haystack. Most bars are full of sugar, salt, and fillers that are just not healthy. I have been on a “Quest”, if you will, to find a good clean, healthy protein bar […]
Tropical Shakeology is Beachbody’s latest flavor of my favorite supplement that I take, Shakeology. There are a few changes that go well beyond just the flavor however. For starters, Tropical Shakeology is VEGAN! What exactly does “Vegan” mean? Vegan is a term used for products/diets that contain absolutely no animal products, including dairy. That means […]
Beachbody finally released it’s pre-workout supplement, Energy & Endurance pre-workout supplement or E&E for short. I have been hearing about this supplement for some time now. It is said to help with both Energy and Endurance as well as focus. I just received mine last week and wanted to put it through the test before […]
Hey Get Ripped at Home crew, today I updated the site with some new programs, gear and apparel. It has been something that I have needed to do for some time now. I will continue to reorganize the sites pages to make them a little easier to navigate. In the program section you will find […]

I already ordered […]
Fruit is not the only thing that is seasonal…so is Shakeology! I found this the other day and I wanted to share it with everyone. For those who are already using Shakeology everyday, you know why I love it and why I have everyone I know using it. I take Shakeology everyday and it has […]
There is some debate as to which is the best source of whey protein. There has been those who have said that Isolate is the best form due to the high concentration of protein per scoop, others say that it is too highly processed. That leaves concentrate as being a better source…or does it? I […]
Most of you who are going through P90X ask me what supplements I recommend. Shakeology is on the top of my list. When I started P90X back in January of 2009, I didn’t have Shakeology because it wasn’t created yet. Since it has been created I have been taking it and reaping the benefits. Both […]
As I continue to talk about my diet and supplements, I am constantly getting questions about Shakeology. It’s most likely because I talk so highly about it. For those of you who don’t know, Shakeology is a meal replacement, whole food based, shake that helps me to fill in the gaps of my everyday nutrition. […]
At the Beachbody Leadership Conference that I was invited to and attended this last weekend, Beachbody decided to update all of us coaches on what the latest news was for the Tropical Flavor of Shakeology. We coaches all tried and loved at the new flavor at the coach summit this past June. Initially it was […]

So for those of you who don’t let me give you a brief explanation of the concept behind supplementing with BCAAs. Branched-chain amino acids refers to leucine, isoleucine and valine, the most important amino acids for repairing […]
I first tried PB2 at the Beachbody Headquarters during the P90X2 rehearsals. The Shakeology master (Brian) was there mixing up some cholate Shakeology for us and he told me to check out this “PB2 stuff”. I was pretty amazed by the fact that it was claiming to be Peanut Butter but was only 45 calories. […]
The latest supplement I wanted to review was one that I have been trying for the past 30 days, AmiNO energy by Optimum Nutrition. AmiNO energy is a BCAA/Pre-workout supplement that I have come across because it had gotten good reviews and I was looking for something that I could use as a pre workout […]
As I was learning about health and fitness in general, doing research and absorbing information like a sponge, I kept coming across the health benefits of Omega 3s. I tend to go first be skeptical about any hyped up supplements so I did my research and found out that Omega 3s are actually as beneficial […]
If you have done any research into post workout nutrition you will be familiar with the saying that is it probably the most important meal of the day for anyone who is looking to build muscle or lose body fat. The only problem is that there is still some confusion about what you should and […]
