GNC Lean Shake 25

The premade Lean Shakes are sooo sweet. As in, not good. At least to me. I bought a sample of the chocolate and vanilla powder. It says to use the whole packet in one 8 oz glass of water. There's no way I would use that much powder. I would probably use 2 tablespoons at most.

I have used the Lean Shake before with water and a few ice cubes then put it in the blender. I have a smaller blender similar to the magic bullet. Taste so refreshing after a workout. The almond milk (unsweetened) is also good in it. I haven't use the lean shake in awhile because I could find it anymore a Sam's Club. But I found out today that Sam's now is carrying the Lean Shake 25 which has gotten high reviews on. It is so much cheaper at Sam's Club.

I get mine during gold card week so they are cheaper. I love them. I use the shaker cup with water usually around 16 oz or frozen fruit and water. Here are the ones that I can vouch for because I use and love them. BTW no side effects for me.

French Vanilla
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Blueberries and Cream
Mixed Berries (my favorite)
Banana
Chocolate
Strawberry
Peppermint Mocha
Pumpkin Spice

I have been drinking them for about two weeks. I drink the chocolate ones and I love them. I use them as a meal replacement. I got them at Sam's Club for $20 and I have been told if you talk to the manager and ask to buy it in bulk, they will give you a really good discounted price. I have also found out that if you heat it up it tastes like a type of hot chocolate and it still has all the nutritional value. It is a very safe and healthy protein shake and my nutritionist is the one that recommended it. I would definitely try it if I were you!
Hope this helped! (:

I've used the Lean Shake as a supplement over the last 3 or 4 years. I use it when I'm too rushed to eat breakfast or if I just don't want anything in particular and I know I'm probably not going to eat but I need some nutrition. I've even used it when I've gained a few pounds and need to get them off.

If you sign up for their rewards card (it costs but it's worth it) then you can buy it during the first week of the month and get a percentage off it. Also, they run sales regularly if you buy one you can get the 2nd one half off. And at the top of the lid in the information pamphlet, there's always a coupon.

I use 2 scoops with water, I shake it really good in the mixer with the ball thingy, and I pour it in a tall glass over ice and drink it with a straw. My favorite flavors are the chocolate and the cookies and cream.

I wouldn't reccomend it for a steady diet but do what works for you.

I looked at them yesterday and bought a packet of both. I'm currently drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast, but it is high in sugar...Anyway, the lady at GNC asked me "how much I work out." When I said 4-6 times a week, she said that Lean Shake 25 would be okay for me. So, something to take into consideration is how often will you be working out. If you just want a meal replacement, I would stay with the Lean Shake. If you are looking to drink them after a workout, then consider trying the 25.

I tried the cookies and cream shakes for a week and lost 5 pounds. I snacked on fruits and worked out 5. Times a week

I have tried both the vanilla, the chocolate, and the banana cream in the ready made bottles. Loved all three. Tried the strawberries and cream. Blah is all I can say.

The Cinnamom Bun one is pretty good. I use less water so that they are a little thicker.
