The benefits of both supplements really interested us. We love that you don’t have to take a ton of pills, and we’re always excited to think more clearly and sleep better!

bUT i ALSO DRINK shAKEOLOGY AND DO a pRE-wORKOUT….

We wondered about First Thing in particular because we already take a daily supplement and a pre-workout drink. 

With that said, each thing offers a unique benefit.

First Thing helps with environmental stressors while Shakeology helps us get in a healthy snack and some B vitamins. 

Energize helps us with our workouts. It does contain caffeine as well, but we have a high tolerance for it.

Here’s a quick chart comparing First Thing, Shakeology, and Energize.

When Should I Take FIRST THING and LAST THING?

First Thing should be taken with 2-4oz of water at the time of your first meal, and Last Thing is taken at bedtime.

Does First Thing taste bad?

It’s brand new so we’ve not tasted it, but we are told it’s got a bitter taste. Also, it sounds like some ingredients sink in the glass if you don’t mix or stir it constantly. So we’re not super excited about that.

You can add more water to make it less strong, or we think we’ll probably toss it back like a shot.

You can also mix First Thing with herbal tea or juice to help the taste.

  1. Hi,
    I noticed that the Last Thing contains Hops. Hops contains gluten. I would really like to use the entire Beachbody line but the ingredient list is vague when it comes to gluten. In Canada needs to list it as an allergen.

    Could you include gluten in your assessment like you do with caffeine?

    Cheers
