Shakeology does have an expiration date. The good news is you won’t or at least shouldn’t have to worry about Shakeology ever expiring due to you using it everyday.
But yes, Shakeology will expire after 2 years.
The easiest way to find out when yours will expire is to look on the back and then top right side of the packet or bag. Beachbody presses the expiration date into the plastic. Here is a picture of a Greenberry packet I have. Little tricky to see but it says 07/14 as the expiration date.
Can You Use Expired Shakeology?
I have drank Shakeology that was past its expiration date once. My parents had misplaced a bag in their pantry and found it two years later. We had just ran out and we’re waiting on ours so my Mom said I could have the old bag if I wanted.
Was curious to see if it was still good so I took the bag and started using it. The two year old bag of Chocolate Shakeology tasted just like a brand new bag and everything worked like normal. I’d say you’d be ok using a bag of Shakeology past its expiration date.
But I’m me. I’m ok with that sort of thing. I probably would have tried a four year old bag of Shakeology.
But again, no need to worry when your Shakeology will expire. You’re supposed to be using up your supply within 30 days anyways. Just like how I’ve been a good boy and using it everyday for the past 7 years.
Have a unopened bad of vegan shakelogy best before June 2016 and it is now sept is it safe to use
I’m not sure but I know I’d use it.
I have no experience with Shakeology specifically, but I DO know expiration dates!
Depending on the method of preservation, the “exp date” is more a guideline of use on an opened product.
Powdered product in a sealed package stored in a cool dry place will be good for YEARS after the date – but it may lose some flavor intensity after being mixed.
I have gotten good powdered milk 5 years after the exp date (as an example).
Thats my feeling too. I’ve used a few bags of Shakeology that were a year past expiration.
We have a box of Shakeology in our cupboard, probably samples. Expiration date of 3/19. I decided to use the Greenberry today! Tastes OK! My ONLY concern will likely be that it contains milk and I’m somewhat Lactose Intolerant, BUT it does contain digestive enzymes as well, so we will see!!
My only question would be: what was the digestive after effects? Like cramping or stomach gurgling. Or were you just fine? I have two half used bags that I just stopped using almost two years ago. I’m thinking of trying them but I don’t want stomach cramps. I have smelled them and they smell fine, so they’ll probably taste fine but will it affect the digestive track? Let me know if you experienced any ill affects. Thanks
The expired bags I used were sealed and unopened. We used them within 30 days. I did not notice any digestive problems.
So, I just found 2 bags of unopened Vanilla Shakeology while cleaning out the over the fridge cabinets. The expiration dates are 8/2017 and 9/2017. It would hurt my heart to throw them away but also don’t want to get sick either… Just wondering what you would do???
Thats a good question. Me – I’m trying them. Maybe a quarter scoop to see what happens. I’m going through a bag from 2019 at the moment that my Mom forgot about in her house. You do what you feel is best.
Thank you for this. I just found 3 unopened 2lb vanilla bags in my pantry that have a Best before 01_2020. 3 bags going to the trash was driving me crazy.
No problem. Those aren’t too old. Me – I’m using them.
I recently finished off a bag of strawberry that expired in 2016 haha! i opened it a month ago, and had no issues whatsoever
I think I take the cake and can definitely say they are just great after they expire. It’s Jan 4th 2022 and I had four bags we put away and at the their prices I almost puked thinking about the money so decided to try. Expired December of 2018. Same great taste and no affects or stomach cramps or anything like that. Nothing any different than when it wasn’t expired lol so I’ll use them.
