Shakeology -- safe or not

[Deades]

I am trying to start eating healthy and was told shaakeology shakes were good but they have wheat grass.  Someone told me wheat grass is safe for me to eat because the gluten is in the pod, not the stem.

Worry would be in CC...I make my own mixes, egg white omelettes where I choose the fat ratios with cocont/almond flour, flax/chia/pumpkin ground seeds, nut/seed butters and leafy greens of choice. I also personally I keep MRM Meal replacement, Julian Bakery Bars and this one smoothie mix Open Original Shared Link

Regardless of the scientific proof of no gluten, cross contamination would be a high risk. I boycott anything Wheat. Plus, I don't know, they lie a lot.

Walgreen's Nutritional Shake every morning for breakfast. At $1 a serving it can be considered a meal replacement. You could doctor it up with your own flavors and berries and stuff,  but I like the flavor out of the bottle.

Try to shop mostly for things that don't come in boxes or bags.

A Celiac should be on the look out for barley or barley malt, too.

Absolutely.

I was just diagnosed with Celiac. I also was drinking Shakeology, both the regular and vegan and they 100% made me sick.  I'm sad I have to give it up because I love Shakeology, but I just have to.
