Mayan Chocolate Shakeology | The Beachbody Blog

This creamy, chocolatey Shakeology has unexpected ingredient for a delicious little kick — cayenne pepper.

You’re probably thinking, “Pepper? In a smoothie? No thanks.”

But you’ve gotta trust us on this — chocolate with just a smidge of heat is an incredible combination. A teaspoon of sweet/spicy cinnamon balances everything out.
